I need an explanation of SAPS and also Sulphated Ash, and what they mean.
From the Shell web page:
Shell Rotella T Triple Protection 15w40 (CJ-4)
Heavy Duty Diesel Engine Oil
http://www.epc.shell.com/Docs/GPCDOC_Local_TDS_Canada_Shell_Rotella_T_Triple_Protection_15W-40_%28CJ-4%29_%28en-CA%29_TDS_v1.pdf
Shell Rotella T Triple Protection oil uses the latest "Low-SAPS" additive technology to protect under the most severe conditions found in modern low emission engines.
What does SAPS mean?
And also I seen 2 heavy duty oil specs, one with a Sulphated Ash% of 1, and the other a Sulphated Ash% of 1.36
What is Sulphated Ash? and is sulphated ash good or bad.
And will the 1.36% ash oil harm my motorcycle?
