"The actual vehicle test was selected as a 1.5LJust to make sure we are comparing apples to apples, I read on page 1:
Vehicle tests show that the consumption of fuel oil for vehicles using research and development engine oil will drop by 12%, and noise will drop by an average of 7dB.
Now what is "research and development engine oil"? Is this a special lube they came up with for the purpose? I know they talked of getting the best selling 20 & 30 grade oils for use in their testing later on in the paper. But what type of oil did this--the best selling 20 grade, or something one of them concocted?
EDIT: OK I see this R&D oil is what they call their "debugging oil." that is what did better on their test. What exactly is that?
For the record, I don't doubt that an oil that reduces friction to the point of a 12% increase in fuel consumption will be quieter. I was just wondering what is being compared to what, that's all.
Does it really matter? Think the main jist of the study was to show that oil viscosity and formulation can make a difference in engine performance, including its running noise level..
That Chinese study is the poorest lube-related study I've ever seen. It doesn't even tell anything at all about physical data of the lubricants used and anything at all about test equipment used. Perhaps for reasons. Conclusion: Completely worthless. Garbage. Thanks for wasting my time.

Read the Conclusions in section 6, then go into the paper and figure out how they made those conclusions.Does it actually show anything?

it´s not always about sound, unintentionally i was lugging small engine in 5th at city speeds..
to my surprise, it did not sounded like it would fall apart.
in the past oci without organic tungsten, it would be impossible do so, harsh. i love this tech.
