Everyone knows that thinner oils make more power, but that usually comes at a price - engine durability. Looking ahead to 2017 and the increased CAFÉ (Corporate Fuel Economy Requirements), engine manufacturers are turning to emerging technologies to gain valuable drops of fuel economy. The use of coatings (dry film lubricants) and advanced synthetic base oils enables engine builders to use lower viscosity oils without compromising on durability. For street performance enthusiasts, this means improved fuel economy. For the racer, this means increased horsepower.
