Conference Paper Description

Engine oils and their additives are formulated to meet required performance areas such as lubrication, detergency, dispersancy, anti-wear, and so on. Understanding degradation of engine oil additives is important to formulate oils with long time durability. Engine oil additives have been found to affect abnormal combustion in turbocharged gasoline direct injection (TGDI) engines, called low speed pre-ignition (LSPI). Some of metal containing additives such as zinc dithiophosphates (ZnDTP) and molybdenum dithiocarbamates (MoDTC) have been found to reduce LSPI events. In this study, we investigated degradation of ZnDTP and MoDTC in gasoline engine operation and effects of the degradation on LSPI performance.
