This has been coming for some time now, but was delayed for technical reasons. Check out the link to read about the new oils.
The #1 reason that well-tuned stock or FBO Turbocharged Direct Injection engines pop is due to the calcium-based detergents in the SN oils. The calcium combines with the micro-droplets of fuel in the combustion chamber, especially on trailing throttle after a hard poke, to set up the gigantic single-detonation (or even multiple) event when you get back on the throttle to spray fuel into the CC that collapses stock rods and even lifts heads on upgraded rods. I've popped two Turbo DI engines due to this phenomenon, one Mazda DISI 2.3 and one Ford Ecoboost 2.3. I was running a specific motor oil that had a high calcium content for diesel engines. There's much more technical info on the interwebs as well.
It might have been eight years in the making, but ILSAC GF-6 is now just a few months away, with first allowable use set for May 1 2020. Jeff Thompson, Infineum Executive Market Manager for Lubricant Additives in North America, takes time out to revisit the drivers behind the upgrade, to explore...
