Who uses Low SAPS Engine Oil?
If you currently use use AdBlue®, you will also need to use Low SAPS Engine Oil in your vehicle.
It is a requirement in any diesel vehicle fitted with a DPF (diesel particulate filter) to use one of the ‘low SAPS’ engine oils.
But, you may wonder why you have to use Low SAPS Engine Oil, what it actually is, and where you can get it from?
What actually are Low SAPS Oils?
Low SAPS Oil is simply oil that has low levels of Sulphated Ash, Phosphorous, and Sulphur.
Each manufacturer will decide which SAPS level will be most effective for their engine and will choose an ACEA C rating, which you will find in your vehicle’s handbook.
Keep a look out for the following ACEA C ratings:
1. C1 Low SAPS (0.5% ash) fuel efficient.
2. C2 Mid SAPS (0.8% ash) fuel efficient, better suited to higher performance engines.
3. C3 Mid SAPS (0.8% ash) less fuel efficient, even more in favour of performance.
Why Do I Need Low SAPS Engine Oils?
You need to use Low SAPS oil because Sulphated Ash, Phosphorous, and Sulphur are all substances that can build-up and block your vehicle’s DPF.
This is why it is important to have an oil that is low in these substances, to avoid blockages.
If the vehicle’s DPF is blocked, it will impact engine performance, increase emissions, and can even put the vehicle on ‘limp-mode’, preventing you from driving normally.
