Technical Conclusion:
The analysis of the oil formulation reveals critical deficiencies regarding LSPI (Low-Speed Pre-Ignition) protection and the absence of magnesium additives:
Key Issues:
- Lack of LSPI Protection:
- Magnesium Content: Absent in this oil formulation. Oils that comply with MB 229.51-2022 typically contain magnesium to enhance LSPI protection, which is essential for modern turbocharged gasoline direct-injection engines.
- Specification Impact:
- Compliance Limitations: Without magnesium and the necessary LSPI protection, this oil fails to meet the MB 229.51-2022 standard. The absence of these critical features indicates that this oil may, at best, comply with the older MB 229.51-2016 standard. This standard does not address the more stringent LSPI requirements essential for protecting modern engines.
Consequences for Modern Engines:
- Reduced Engine Protection: The lack of magnesium and LSPI protection poses a risk to engines that are particularly susceptible to LSPI, especially high-performance or turbocharged engines. This may lead to significant engine damage over time, potentially resulting in costly repairs and reduced engine lifespan.
Conclusion:
The absence of magnesium and LSPI protection in this oil formulation indicates a failure to meet the modern standards set by MB 229.51-2022. As a result, it may only align with older standards that do not adequately protect contemporary engines. It is recommended to choose oils that comply with the latest specifications to ensure optimal protection and performance for high-performance and turbocharged engines.
