Highly efficient combustion engines are one of the cornerstones of our mobility. Due to the combustion process, an engine oil has to fulfil additional tasks that, for example, transmission oils or hydraulic fluids do not have. At the same time, they work under challenging conditions. This video training gives a better understanding of these special features and demonstates, to take them into account when selecting the most suitable engine oil.

It contains the following videos:

  • Combustion engines: Lubrication
    Video length: 14:41 Minutes
    Target: Get to know the functions of a combustion engine oil and how base oil and additive collaborate to get it done.

  • Combustion engines: Neutral specification systems
    Video length: 20:04 Minutes
    Target: Get to know the system of important international engine oil specifications like API, ACEA and ILSAC and work with it.

  • Combustion engines: OEM approvals
    Video length: 08:06 Minutes
    Target: Get to know the system of important OEM engine oil specifications.


In addition to the videos, you can download the used presentations as PDF files.
