The scenario of European testing and
specifications is highly influenced by the
introduction of modern engine hardware
for reduced CO2 emissions requiring higher
performance lubricants. As a result, Euro-
pean engine lubricants are regarded as an
integrated part of engine design, allowing car
manufacturers to develop engines that are
even more efficient.
The ACEA oil sequences reflect the
minimum performance level requirements of
engine lubricants covering basic test param-
eters like engine cleanliness, wear, sludge
and oil degradation. However, existing CEC
test methods need to be adapted to the most
recent evolution stages of engine technol-
ogies. Furthermore, new test parameters
linked to the use of biofuels will become part
of the forthcoming new ACEA oil sequences.
In parallel, European car manufacturers
are updating their in-house lubricant require-
ments to address new specific oil-related
issues like low-speed pre-ignition (LSPI) or
turbocharger efficiency. And, last but not
least, there is an increasing demand for tests
and resources to evaluate one of the key
performance parameters of today’s vehicle
lubricants, their fuel-saving properties.
All these changing requirements will fur-
ther increase the complexity and challenges
to develop European lubricants and it is
obvious that future CO2 emission targets can
only be reached by further developments
of engine lubricants and adapted testing
capabilities.
TonoNasch studied chemistry
at Muenster University. He
graduated in 1994 anddidhis
PhD in the fieldof solid state
chemistry. In 1997 he joined
ISP, the Institute for Fuels &Lubes Testing.
Today he is themanagingdirector and a
shareholder of ISP, running test facilities in
Germany and France.

Specialty gas compression is an important
application area for compressor lubricants.
BASF synthetic lubricants provide solutions
to a broad range of specialty gas applications,
including hydrogen, hydrocarbons, LPG, LNG,
chemical gases, etc. In this presentation, we
will introduce Plurasafe CL Gas 9 and Plurasafe
CL HC 1400, whichwere designed to provide
solutions for these special requirements.
Kai Su is theGlobal Technology

Tarrytown, N.J., U.S.A. Prior to
this position hewas Senior
Scientist at BASF from2007 to 2010. Kai
obtainedhis PhD in Polymer Chemistry from
TheGraduateCenter, City University of New
York, U.S.A. in 2007.

Base oil refineries are gradually shifting from
producing Group I to Groups II or III due to
higher yields and value. The changing base oil
composition is posing challenges for formulat-
ing industrial specialties like rust preventive oils
and quenching oils due to the decreasing po-
larity of base oils fromGroups I through III oils.
