Creating a successful engine oil formulation requires balance, expertise and an accurate assessment of conditions. This article explores how these three things are crucial in providing the correct amount of TBN for your oil.

TBN (Total Base Number) is an important part of the detergent in an engine oil. It is designed to react and neutralize acids in the engine. Afton understands TBN and develops engine oil additive packages to work in the markets and conditions a customer needs to optimize their engine oil needs. To help stop our customers from paying more for chemistry than is needed and help ensure longer drain intervals, we have produced a fact sheet answering some of the important questions surrounding TBN.

We all want to wake up to a blue sky. Afton Chemical as part of its commitment to making the world a better place is continually investing in and providing technology that enables fuels to burn cleaner and vehicle run smoother.

The world’s first Electrified Transmission Fluid additive specifically created for all eAxle types including direct-cooled electric motors with multi-speed systems.

Understanding these new demands and the potential contradictory impact on other performance needs is the lubricant formulator's role. Understanding the evolutionary path that engineers have followed to enhance the internal combustion engine's efficiency in modern designs provides the key insight for formulators to design the optimum lubricant for those engines, performance without compromise. The latest Afton technology for GM dexos™1 aims to meet the minimum standard to anticipate the performance areas where a superior lubricant can provide a genuine benefit to GM and deliver that optimum solution.
