Engine Oils
Virtually all modern multi-weight oils comprise additives that turns it into detergent oils. Almost all commercial lubricants contain additives to enhance their performance in amounts ranging from 1% to 20% or more.
Modern multigrade oil, cleans the soot of the internal engine parts and suspends the soot particles in the oil. The particles are too small to be trapped by the oil filter and stay in the oil until you change it. These particles make the oil turn darker. These tiny particles do not harm your engine. When the oil becomes saturated with soot particles and is unable to suspend any more, the particles remain on the engine parts. Fortunately, with the current oil change intervals the oil is changed long before the oil is saturated. Additionally the additive package provides other characteristics e.g. it provides anti-wear and anti-oxidant ensuring that the oxidation of oil will be retarded.
The main engine oil additives are classified according to the ACEA (European Automobile Manufacturers Association) the API (American Petroleum Institute) and SAE (Viscosity Grade Classification). This classification is shown on the oil after the viscosity classification : e.g. 10W40 API SL/SJ/CF ACEA A3-98, B3-98, B4-98 BMW Longlife Oil VW 500/502/505 and Daimler Chrysler 229.1
