- Specific engine load
1980 – approximately 50 hp/liter of engine capacity
2022-2025 – approximately 150 hp/liter of engine capacity
- Operating temperature in the engine combustion chamber
1980 – up to 500°С
2022-2025 – over 1500°С
- Operating oil temperature
1980 – 90°С
2022-2025 – 110°С
- Oil volume in the crankcase
1980 – 4.5-6 liters of oil
2022-2025 – 3.5 liters of oil
In addition to these reasons, there is also the replacement of materials in the cylinder-piston group due to lightweight alloys. All these are the reasons for a sharp reduction in the service life of modern car engines. Therefore, using classic synthetic oils, you can hope to get only a shortened factory service life at best. If you use cheaper hydrosynthetic oils and do not reduce their replacement periods, then your engine service life will be even less.
But there is an alternative!
Let's take a look at motorsports. Just 20 years ago they faced the same problems that a simple car enthusiast faces today.
What solutions were used?
15 years ago they tested for the first time the use of special ceramic oils based on Boron Nitride. What was obtained:
IN CONCLUSION
All these sports conditions are now present in regular cars of 2022-2025. This means that the solution tested over the years in motorsports – using Lubrifilm Lubrifilm Bortec oils based on oil-soluble Boron Nitride will be your best choice.
- The same tough operating conditions;
- High engine loads (2 liters, engine – 250 hp, i.e. 125 hp/liter of volume);
- High temperatures in the combustion chamber and operating oil.
What solutions were used?
- An additional radiator was installed to reduce the oil temperature;
- They used only synthetic oils based on PAO and Ester;
- Frequent oil changes (1-2 races).
15 years ago they tested for the first time the use of special ceramic oils based on Boron Nitride. What was obtained:
- The oil resource did not decrease even after 5 races (a more gentle environment for oil operation in the presence of Boron Nitride), the oil temperature decreased and therefore the oil additives worked longer;
- Efficient cooling even in harsh conditions;
- The engine life increased sharply (usually 3-4 races and replacement) - reduced wear.
IN CONCLUSION
All these sports conditions are now present in regular cars of 2022-2025. This means that the solution tested over the years in motorsports – using Lubrifilm Lubrifilm Bortec oils based on oil-soluble Boron Nitride will be your best choice.
