1. Cetane Improver
ZR668 is a highly pure aliphatic amine nitrate that boosts diesel ignition quality. With a low viscosity (< 3 cSt) and clear appearance, it’s ideal for blending with all base-stock groups.
2. Dispersants & Detergents
C9231 (ashless dispersant) combats sludge and varnish in diesel crankcases.
C9330 (300 TBN calcium sulphonate) and C9340 (405 TBN magnesium sulphonate) offer superior detergent performance at typical treat rates of 0.1–20 %.
3. Antiwear ZDDPs
C9417 and C9425 are mixed primary/secondary and dialkyl zinc dithiophosphates, respectively.
They deliver robust antiwear and antioxidant protection in both PCMO and HD formulations.
4. Passenger-Car & DI Oil Packages
D1212 and D1222 form a cascade system covering API CF-1 through CA and SF/CC categories, with MB-Approval 227.1/227.0.
D1240 is a cost-effective minimum-treat SJ→SB package, backed by Caterpillar TO-2, Detroit Diesel, and Allison C3 claims.
5. Heavy-Duty Diesel Packages
A versatile series—from D3314 (ACEA E7/E4, MB 228.5, Cummins CES-20072) to D3424 (Global DHD-1/ACEA E3‐E7, MB 228.3, MAN 3275)—covers mid-SAPS, full-SAPS, low-ash and “dual-treat” top-tier formulations. D3336 stands out for mid-SAPS CJ-4 performance in both 10W-40 and 5W-30 viscosities.
6. Gas-Engine Oil Additives
M7280 combines salicylate detergent technology for natural-gas, landfill-gas and bio-gas engines, delivering robust TBN and tailored ash levels.
Complementary boosters (e.g. M7125) fine-tune TBN or ash to meet specific gas-engine OEM specs.
7. Passenger-Car PCMO Packages
P5096–P5630 series meet API SL/SJ and ILSAC GF-5 at 6.4 % treat.
P5711 (12.5 % treat) achieves API SN/SN-RC, ILSAC GF-5 and GM 4718M in full-synthetic Group III bases.
P6000/P6003 hit MB-229.31/229.51, VW 502/505, ACEA C2/C3 and BMW Longlife-04 claims at ~12–16 % treat.
8. VI Modifiers, PPDs & Specialty Additives
SV150–SV261 improve viscosity index and shear stability in PCMO and HDD oils.
T4031–T4580 series of pour-point depressants enable low-temperature fluidity.
V351/V385 friction modifiers optimize fuel economy.
S1866/S1869/S1885/S911 protect against corrosion and oxidation in niche applications.
Conclusion
This complete Infineum matrix empowers formulators to select the precise additive—or cascade of packages—for every application, from high-performance diesel engines to next-gen low-ash PCMO. With OEM approvals spanning Mercedes-Benz, Cummins, MAN, Volvo, VW, GM and more, you can craft lubricants that meet or exceed both industry standards and manufacturer warranties.
