Here's the story.
My Ford 5.0L V8 has a duel fuel setup. It runs on petrol or LPG gas. I understand that LPG has higher combustion temperatures, and therefore a "low ash" oil is recommended.
Now, the special LPG engine oil I am running at the moment has a SA of 1.3. Castrol GTX Gas has 1.0. There is a new BP Visco Gas oil that has a SA of only 0.5. So, at first glance, the BP oil would the the best for the engine.
My question is "would this 0.5 oil have any effect on engine wear, assuming the ash content is derived from AW additives.?"
Can someone please give an informed answer on this?
Thanks
Dave
