ENEOS USA Inc. recently announced that ENEOS X Prime 0W-8 fully synthetic motor oil will be available in spring 2023.

The ultra-low-viscosity 0W-8 was created in partnership with Asian OEMs, which requested the special formulation to meet stringent emissions and economy standards. Not only will ENEOS X Prime 0W-8 oil be supplied to manufacturers for factory-fill requirements, but it also it will be available for oil changes by dealer networks and for DIY maintenance.

Applications

ENEOS X Prime 0W-8 is 100% synthetic oil developed in partnership with Asian automakers for use in the latest hybrid electric vehicles (HEV) and plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEV) where 0W-8 is specified. This currently includes vehicles from Honda, Toyota, Nissan and Mitsubishi. The oil also is suitable for battery electric vehicles (BEV) fitted with thermal gasoline engines used as a range extender. A number of 2023 production vehicles will require 0W-8, including the Toyota Yaris, Honda Fit, and Nissan Dayz.

Testing and Standards

ENEOS extensively market-tested X Prime 0W-8 in Japan for nine years to produce this optimized formula, which provides extreme fuel efficiency with maximum engine protection, while meeting the required domestic standards, according to the company. ENEOS helped establish the JASO GLV-1 specification, creating and establishing the testing methods while performing engine-testing methods with OEM-provided test engines. ENEOS 0W-8 meets these new JASO GLV-1 standards. No API or ILSAC 0W-8 testing standards currently exist.

Packaging

ENEOS USA Inc. will release ENEOS X Prime 0W-8 in single 1-quart containers (part No. 3000-300). More information will be available closer to production.

As part of this partnership, ENEOS has in-house testing facilities where the company follows strategies developed with each OEM partner to meet their vehicle and performance specifications, particularly for the tighter tolerances of Asian engines that are now being seen more in European and domestic vehicles.

ENEOS provides R&D and factory fill for Asian automakers in factories around the world. This access provides ENEOS with unreleased vehicle specifications, allowing the organization to develop lubrication formulations that specifically meet (or exceed) vehicle needs. Because of these partnerships, ENEOS products are designed to anticipate future requirements beyond current domestic vehicle standards.

      Standard Motor Products, Inc. (SMP) announced an expansion of its Standard Gasoline Fuel Injection program. The company said the program includes more than 1,100 all-new, not remanufactured, Gasoline Direct Injection (GDI), Multi-Port Fuel Injection (MFI), and Throttle Body Injection (TBI) injectors, along with GDI high-pressure fuel pumps, fuel feed lines, fuel pressure dampers, fuel pressure sensors, fuel pressure regulators, service kits and more.
      Fuel Injector Coverage and Testing

      link hidden, please login to view noted that its gas fuel injectors are 100% new, never remanufactured, and deliver OE-matching spray patterns and flow rates to help optimize fuel mileage and performance. SMP-manufactured fuel injectors are designed and built in SMP’s IATF 16949-certified facility in Greenville, South Carolina. The company added that all Standard fuel injectors undergo extensive testing, including initial life-cycle validation and 100% end-of-line testing. The testing regimen involves more than 35 different tests and inspections, including endurance, spray pattern, thermal cycles, vibration, shock load, and dynamic and static flow. Multiple new GDI and MFI injectors have recently been released, adding coverage for millions of import vehicles, including the 2020–25 Nissan Frontier and 2021–25 Subaru Crosstrek. Additionally, MFI fuel injector multi-packs are available, covering more than 31 million vehicles.
      GDI High-Pressure Fuel Pumps and Kits
      GDI systems rely on a constant supply of fuel at high pressure.

For long-term durability, Standard high-pressure fuel pumps feature stainless steel internal components and high-temperature seals. Each pump is engineered to optimize GDI performance and lab tested and validated on actual vehicles to ensure performance and longevity, the company said. More than 115 SKUs are currently available for import and domestic vehicles. Blue Streak GDI high-pressure fuel pump kits include everything needed for a high-pressure fuel pump service in one box and are available for import and domestic applications. GDI high-pressure fuel pumps have recently been released for Audi and Volkswagen vehicles like the 2020–25 Audi Q3 and the 2019–24 Volkswagen Jetta, as well as 1.2 million BMW vehicles through the 2025 model year.
      “The Standard Fuel Injection Program is constantly expanding as we are regularly adding new fuel injectors, GDI high-pressure fuel pumps and other related components,” said John Herc, vice president of vehicle control marketing at SMP. “Our program is the most comprehensive in the industry, and we are working hard to keep it that way for our distribution partners and for the technicians who depend on Standard.”

      Fuchs Lubricants Co. recently highlighted its Titan GT1 Flex 5 SAE 0W-20. It’s an engine oil that meets the demanding needs of today’s highly stressed, downsized, and hybrid passenger car engines. As OEMs continue to engineer vehicles for higher efficiency and fuel economy, Titan GT1 Flex 5 SAE 0W-20 delivers a low-viscosity formulation that supports fuel-saving characteristics, reduced CO2 emissions and reliable performance under severe operating conditions.
      OEM Approvals and Requirements
      Selected BMW, Mercedes-Benz, and Jaguar Land Rover models approve the use of Titan GT1 Flex 5 SAE 0W-20. It also meets the engine oil requirements of Ford, Chrysler, Volvo and other manufacturers specifying ILSAC GF-6A and API SP. The product also carries key OEM approvals, including BMW Longlife-17 FE+, Jaguar Land Rover STJLR.03.5006, MB-Approval 229.71, MB-Approval 229.72 and OV 040 1547. It aligns with additional recommendations such as Chrysler MS-12145, Fiat 9.55535-GSX, Ford WSS-M2C947-A, Ford WSS-M2C947-B1, Ford WSS-M2C962-A1, ILSAC GF-5, Jaguar Land Rover STJLR.51.5122, Volvo VCC RBS0-2AE and VWC 53057. This broad coverage allows distributors, workshops and fleets to simplify inventory. It also enables servicing of a wide mix of European, Asian and American vehicles.
      Engineered for Modern Engines and Operating Conditions
      Titan GT1 Flex 5 SAE 0W-20 is tailored for vehicles with start-stop systems, downsized aggregates and extended high-speed operation in challenging temperature environments. Advanced formula with BluEV-Technology enhances aging stability. The goal is to help the oil maintain viscosity and protection even under high outside temperatures and during sustained highway driving.
      LSPI Protection and Extended Drain Intervals
      The oil also offers targeted protection against low-speed pre-ignition (LSPI). The company noted this is critical concern in modern turbocharged gasoline engines, supporting reliable combustion and engine durability.
