Turbocharged Direct injection Is Engine Oil’s Next Big Hurdle

My 1.6L DI turbocharged Juke absolutely DESTROYED oil viscosity. Turned 2 different brands of oil into 5w-20, PU 10w-30, QSUD 5w-30, QSUD in 2000 miles, PU in 3000 highway miles.

How do you know that the manufacturer didn't take this into account when specing the oil? Just because it happened doesnt make it a bad thing.

I do not know if they planned on this, or not.

All specs equal, of course I'd select for the lower NOACK. Why wouldn't I?

Low SAPS and low NOACK.
Maybe I will try the new Valvoline Maxlife Full Synthetic High Mileage 10w30...SAPS 1.0, NOACK 6.3. Not exactly low SAPS, though.

This should help keep nasty deposits from forming.

If that's your goal, then try M1 5w-30 ESP.

 

[OneEyeJack]

For my 0w-30 Red Line the percentage is 9.

NOACK Evap Loss,
1hr @ 482°F (250°C)

Are there different NOACK tests results being quoted that might confuse the issue?

Maybe dumb question -what is NOACK? and does it pretain to regular petroleum also?

Yup...That's a good one. $8.66/L at Amazon. Might have to try it.
