Key decision embodied in the updated line of motor oils - new technology of enhanced oil film"...
Oil Castrol EDGE technology FSTТехнология, which experts Castrol called FST (Fluid Strength Technology), - company response to growth pressures in modern engines. For example, measurements show that the specific pressure in the contact zone of the Cam of the Cam with the follower can be up to ten tons per square centimeter (this, incidentally, is ten times greater than the pressure at the bottom of the Mariana trench). New technology allows an oil film to be more stable and more resistant to extreme loads. In the area of contact of the Cam with the follower oil is experiencing a lot of pressure and responds to increased viscosity, reducing the area of contact of metal parts. A side effect of using oils updated line of EDGE - reduction of friction losses, because due to the increased strength of the film, the intensity of the interaction of metal parts is sharply reduced. During factory tests, this allowed power units, which were bathed in enhanced oil without a break to study for a week at maximum capacity!
