TITAN GT1 EVO SAE 0W-20
Latest Engine Oil for BMW
LONGLIFE-14 FE+
TITAN GT1 EVO SAE 0W-20 has become one of the world’s first engine oils to
be approved for the new BMW specification Longlife-14 FE+
F
uchs, the pioneer of 0W-20 engine oils
with the world’s first zinc-free 0W-20,
has consistently developed and refined
its additive technology and combined it with
the state-of-the-art XTL technology. A truly
top-grade SAE 0W-20 engine oil is the result.
➲ The valve
train wear
measured in the
CEC-L-38-A-94
test in the TU3M
engine) was 75%
below the limit
compared to
the reference oil
(see the graph
showing the valve
train wear test)
TITAN GT1 EVO SAE 0W-20 currently
represents the absolute pinnacle of engine oil
development. It not only impresses in basic
requirements such as wear protection and
resistance to aging – it also sets new standards
in the topical subjects of compatibility with
bio-fuels and reducing consumption and CO2
emissions.
TITAN GT1 EVO SAE 0W-20 was developed
specifically for use in the latest generation of
BMW petrol engines – N20, inline 4-cylinder,
2.0 l turbocharging – and subjected to
extensive tests by BMW. This engine was
initially fitted in the X1 xDrive28i, replacing the
6-cylinder engine used previously. Today, it is
used throughout the entire BMW model range
with an output of between 154 and 242 bhp.
➲ The relative
cam and
the cylinder
wear in the
CEC-L-99 test
saw a 71%
reduction
compared to the
reference oil (see
second graph)
TITAN GT1 EVO SAE 0W-20 is also used as
a reference oil for the development of future
BMW petrol engine generations.
As the world’s first product on
the aftermarket to be approved
in accordance with the new BMW
specification Longlife-14 FE+,
TITAN GT1 EVO SAE 0W-20 will
soon be available from authorised
Further tests show:
•
In the CEC-L-88-T-02 engine test TITAN GT1 EVO SAE 0W-20 showed a
60% reduction in absolute viscosity increase compared to the reference oil.
•
No bore polishing was found in the cylinder bore test CEC-L-99.
•
Despite the low viscosity, the evaporation loss is nearly 20% below the limit
(according to CEC-L-40-A-93 (Noack)).
