The evolution of EURO emissions legislation has been key to reduce emission levels of passenger cars (PCMO) and heavy-duty vehicles (HDDO) in Europe.

New Q8 Formula Truck products support the 3 market drivers for the HDD-Market
Three main market drivers continue to force a rapid change in the European heavy duty diesel (HDD) market. The continuous focus on efficiency, durability and emissions impacts future engine design. Engine oil technology as part of the engine design, is a key ingredient on the fuel saving menu.
Low HTHS oils: the art of balancing fuel efficiency and engine protection
Engine oil manufacturers are challenged to balance the fragile equilibrium between oil efficiency and reducing engine wear. Q8Oils offers low HTHS engine oils for the PCMO- and HDDO market that reduce fuel consumption while maintaining engine protection.
Critical engine parts for lubrication
An engine is assembled of many individual parts. A good oil flow to the critical areas is essential to guarantee the efficient and trouble-free operation of the engine. By lubricating an engine with the right engine oil, the engine will run smoother and offer better engine durability saving you maintenance- and fuel costs.
How to avoid LSPI challenges in downsized car engines
To meet the increasingly stringent emission regulations and fuel economy demands, car manufacturers are forced to downsize engines while improving their power and torque.
New synthetic multipurpose gear oils for passenger cars
Q8Oils launches 2 new Synthetic multi-purpose, dedicated Manual Transmission Fluids for Passenger Car & Light Duty vehicles, to be used in synchromesh manual gearboxes and synchromesh manual transaxles where there also is a demand for high load carrying.
Introducing: Q8 CHF 22S
Q8Oils is happy to announce the new Q8 CHF 22S, a new synthetic high VI (>300) hydraulic fluid for automotive hydraulic systems using high quality synthetic base oils in combination with specially selected additives.
Introducing: new Q8 Brake Fluids
Q8Oils launches two new Brake Fluid products meeting the requirements for DOT 4+ and DOT 4 LV: Q8 Brake Fluid DOT 4+ and Q8 Brake Fluid DOT 4 LV.
Preventing engine damage caused by LSPI
The increasingly stringent emission regulations and fuel-economy demands have forced engine manufacturers to downsize engines while improving their power and torque. The downside of today’s smaller engines with higher power density is their risk to abnormal disruptive combustion, such as knocking and a new phenomenon called low speed pre-ignition (LSPI).
How after treatment devices help to meet emissions standards
Emission regulations are an hot item for the automotive industry. To meet the latest Euro VI regulations, truck manufacturers integrate an after treatment device (ATD) in the engine to limit the exhaust of undesired pollutants.
