High VI PAO & mPAO Synthetic Base Oils for Modern Engine Oil Formulations

As global regulations continue driving lower emissions and higher fuel efficiency, engine oil formulators are increasingly adopting low-viscosity synthetic base oils that provide outstanding durability without sacrificing engine protection.

ZMPC High VI PAO and mPAO Synthetic Base Oils are engineered for next-generation passenger car motor oils (PCMO) and heavy-duty engine oils (HDEO), helping lubricant manufacturers achieve fuel economy targets, extended drain intervals, and superior engine cleanliness.

Compared with conventional mineral base oils, PAO and mPAO synthetic base stocks offer exceptional low-temperature fluidity, lower volatility, improved oxidation resistance, and enhanced wear protection.

Key Benefits

• High Viscosity Index (VI)

• Low Noack Volatility

• Excellent Oxidation Stability

• Superior Thermal Stability

• Outstanding Low-Temperature Performance

• Enhanced Fuel Economy

• Excellent Shear Stability

• Extended Oil Drain Capability

Optimized for Low-Viscosity Engine Oils

Modern engines increasingly require lower viscosity grades such as:

• SAE 0W-16

• SAE 0W-20

• SAE 0W-30

• SAE 5W-20

• SAE 5W-30

ZMPC PAO and mPAO help formulators maintain engine protection while achieving improved fuel efficiency and reduced emissions.

Lower Volatility for Reduced Oil Consumption

Low-volatility synthetic hydrocarbons help reduce oil evaporation under high operating temperatures.

Benefits include:

• Reduced oil consumption

• Lower emissions

• Improved piston cleanliness

• Extended lubricant service life

Enhanced Oxidation Resistance

Advanced synthetic base oils maintain viscosity and resist degradation under severe operating conditions.

Advantages include:

• Longer oil life

• Reduced sludge formation

• Improved deposit control

• Cleaner engine operation

Applications

• Passenger Car Motor Oils (PCMO)

• Heavy-Duty Diesel Engine Oils (HDEO)

• Fuel Economy Engine Oils

• Long Drain Motor Oils

• Low Viscosity Engine Oils

• Hybrid Vehicle Engine Oils

• Synthetic Automotive Lubricants

Designed for Future Engine Oil Technologies

With the ongoing shift toward lower viscosity grades, longer drain intervals, and stricter emissions requirements, high-performance synthetic base oils are becoming essential components of modern engine oil formulations.

ZMPC PAO and mPAO provide the balance of fuel economy, wear protection, volatility control, and oxidation resistance required for next-generation automotive lubricants.
