Renewable Engine Oils Test
摘要
Evaluation of the Evolve Lubricants, Inc. (“Evolve Lubricants”) renewable non-petroleum crankcase finished lubricant with respect to wear under severe operating conditions using the Porsche MA203 3.0-liter turbo charged engine and gasoline fuel POSK E25. The test was performed on behalf of Porsche AG (“Porsche”) by APL Automobil-Pruftechnik Landau GmbH, Landau, Germany during July 2021. The unique test is designed to provide valuable data not highlighted in current ACEA tests. This includes oil ageing before wear testing, simulated high performance and racetrack conditions, high piston ring grove temperatures, worst case fuel scenarios addressing hybrid use cases with significant oil dilution and no oil top up or revitalization during the test. The entirety of the testing sequence and total test length is proprietary to Porsche. The length and duration of the test exceeded one hundred hours.
