Tightening emissions regulations and fuel economy standards are driving demand for high performance automotive lubricants.

"Over the past couple of years we have seen a shift from 6-centistoke to 4-centistoke viscosity demand, and that transition has been enabled by an increased market penetration of low viscosity oils, like the SAE 0W-type products that are coming into the marketplace. ExxonMobil has a 3.6-centistoke PAO with good NOACK volatility characteristics, which is taking hold, primarily in some of our Japanese markets, with some of the SAE 0W products that are now being offered.”
