1. The reason for the development of Dexos® motor oil technology

Nowadays, manufacturers tend to downsize engines to create more compact and attractive vehicles. Additionally, cars are increasingly equipped with features such as direct fuel injection and turbocharging to optimize fuel consumption.

However, these new, lightweight engines tend to run hotter and operate under more pressure, necessitating stronger protection. Therefore, the need arose to develop a new type of oil to address these challenges, which is why Dexos® technology was created, marking a new turning point in the production of gasoline engine oils.
