Petrol engine oil VS Diesel engine oil

Image
Petrol and diesel engine oils differ in formulation, additives , and performance requirements due to the distinct operating conditions of each engine type. Key Differences Between Petrol and Diesel Engine Oils Feature Petrol Engine Oil Diesel Engine Oil Operating Conditions Lower temperatures and pressures Higher temperatures, pressures, and soot production Viscosity Typically lower viscosity (e.g., 5W-30, 10W-30) Often higher viscosity (e.g., 15W-40, 5W-40) to handle stress Additive Package Focuses on oxidation stability and wear protection Includes detergents and dispersants to manage soot and acid neutralization Detergent Levels Lower, as petrol engines run cleaner Higher, to combat soot and carbon buildup TBN (Total Base Number) Lower TBN, less acid neutralization needed Higher TBN to neutralize acids from diesel combustion Fuel Dilution Resistance Less critical More resistant to fuel dilution due to diesel injection systems Emission...
