Fuel and Lubricant Effects on Exhaust Emissions from a Light-Duty CIDI Powered Vehicle

Abstract

The effects of fuel and engine lubricant on particulate and gaseous exhaust emissions from a modern, light-duty diesel vehicle were determined. Four engine crankcase lubricants and six fuels were evaluated by operating the test vehicle on a 48-inch single roll chassis dynamometer, utilizing the Federal Test Procedure (FTP-75) for light-duty vehicles and the SFTP-US06 aggressive driving cycle. Lubricants used were both conventional and synthetic formulations, and varied in viscosity from SAE 0W30 to SAE 15W50. The fuels were a prototype ultra-low sulfur diesel, and blends containing various oxygenate compounds. A water macroemulsion fuel was also evaluated.
