Trends and changes in the oil industry are always related to fuel economy and related viscosity and can be viewed through the following lens.
Engine durability
When a manufacturer works on designing an engine, he considers two things: the overall reliability and the durability of the engine, the engine must last for a minimum set time.
Currently, most of the work is assigned to durability: manufacturers aim for small engines with long life; however, the power requirements of engines are increasing. This is the biggest challenge when trying to deliver a compact and durable end result without compromising power.
Emissions legislation
Emissions regulations are also subject to change and trends. This makes sense: we must, and want to, continue to reduce harmful emissions in the future. Therefore, it is important to efficiently design new machines according to strict and evolving emissions regulations.
