At its latest review, SAE J300 specification related to motor oil viscosity grades, has introduced a new extremely fluid viscosity grade specifically designed for hybrid gasoline engines where fuel consumption savings in crucial.
Viscosity grade SAE 0W-12 extremely minimizes lubricant hydrodynamic friction to allow significant fuel economy benefits especially when the oil is cold but also in all temperature conditions.
This very low viscosity grade improves oil flow at start up, delivers faster oil pressure build up, faster rev raisings and allows reaching operating temperature faster.
MOTUL HYBRID 0W-12 is the achievement of MOTUL innovation in developing new advanced lubricants and is specially formulated to meet the specific needs of hybrid electric vehicles, such as HEV, PHEV and BEV with Range Extender, where multiples unexpected stops and starts of the Gasoline engine are involved during the different operating phases of the hybrid vehicle. This particular mode of operation of the internal combustion engine on hybrid vehicle generates very specific constraints for the lubricant, and in this, MOTUL HYBRID 0W-12 fully meets all these requirements.
On hybrid vehicles applications, the properties of "Fuel Economy" from the lubricant are paramount but the volatility of the lubricant and therefore its ability to control the oil consumption of the internal combustion engine is also very important when using such low viscosity oil. The exclusive formulation of MOTUL HYBRID 0W-12 makes it particularly resistant to high temperatures for improved control of the oil consumption.
Environment friendly, this type of oil allows fuel consumption reduction and therefore minimizes greenhouse gases (CO₂) emissions.
