Domestic standards lag behind foreign oil in China


Dr. Crichton, Infineum's Global Industrial Liaison Manager, is engaged in the research and development of lubricants, fuel oils and their additives. In the report titled "Development of European Emissions Regulations and Trends in the Upgrading of Internal Combustion Engine Oils", it is believed that as China's emissions regulations closely follow the world trend, from 2003, the implementation of the EU I, from 2005, the implementation of the EU II, China's OEM It also has to adopt various technical means to meet more stringent emission regulations, which requires higher performance lubricants, and this requirement will accelerate the upgrading of lubricants. Relevant experts pointed out that China's current lubricant oil standards were established in 1995, and reached the SF level in terms of gasoline engine oil standards; while foreign countries have now reached the SL level and are about to enact SM level standards. (Note: The engine oil quality grade is as follows: SA-SB-SC-SD-SE-SF-SG-SH-SJ-SL-SM.) Experts believe that China's oil standards are five grades worse than those of foreign countries. In other words, it has been nearly 20 years behind. The condition of different oil products and specifications coexist in China. The status quo of high and low grade, old and new vehicle conditions coexisting determines the situation of high, medium, and low grade oil coexistence in the lubricant market, and the current national standards, industry standards, and corporate standards for lubricants. The fact that the protocol standards coexist. Mr. Zhang Chunhui, director and senior engineer of the Great Wall Lubricant Application Research Center of Sinopec, said that the oils involved in the current national standards for engine oil have been eliminated in the US API and ACEA product specifications. The existing national standards cannot meet modern automobiles. Manufacturers OEM (lubricant manufacturers for the initial production of automobile manufacturers to install oil, but not the brand) oil requirements, especially the requirements of large multinational joint venture car companies. Exploiting New Products and Expensive Costs Large, Medium, and Small Companies Defeat Experts Since there are no unified, advanced standards, our current standards are basically the same as using the US API standards. However, the problem is that oil products adopt US standards and vehicles are imported from Europe and Japan. Therefore, China's oil suppliers have to implement two sets of standards in order to meet the requirements of European and Japanese automobile manufacturers. Lubricants must comply with the national standards. Standards, but also in line with the European and Japanese automobile manufacturers of corporate standards, get their certification, that is, OEM certification. The two sets of standards brought unnecessary trouble and huge economic investment to the lubricant production plant. This is because the investment in a large number of bench tests necessary to develop oil products that meet the OEM certification standards (in the informal sense, the bench is a simulated car) is difficult to count. A test in only one standard will cost tens of US dollars, and a full set of standards will cost millions of dollars. If it is unsuccessful, it will continue to be tested repeatedly. In addition, due to the reference to foreign standards, it is necessary to purchase rigs for testing from abroad. However, due to the lack of methods, many rig tests must be conducted in foreign research laboratories. Giants such as PetroChina and Sinopec have the strength to undertake part of the bench test, and some small and medium-sized companies are simply at a loss. Does the standard of foreign oil apply to the conditions in China? So some companies basically bought foreign certified oils for packaging. In addition, companies purchase certified compounding agents from abroad and use their own base oil to reconcile their requirements. This “conforms” with foreign certification standards. This is not only the practice of certain representative domestic companies, but also the fastest and easiest. The most economical way. But in fact, Dr. Fu Xingguo, director of the research and development center of PetroChina Lubricant Company, pointed out that this is unscientific because in the lubricant, the base oil accounts for 99%, the compounding agent only 1%, and the Chinese and foreign base oils may not be exactly the same. Therefore, although the compounding agent has not changed, the base oil has changed, but it is still ridiculous to say that it is still "in line with" the standard. Even if it really meets the standards, will this kind of oil be suitable for the various conditions of China's automobile air conditions, road conditions, and conditions of use in China? Director Zhang Chunhui also questioned whether the full or majority adoption of foreign standards can satisfy China’s impact due to differences in fuel quality in China, different roads in China, inaccurate use of user overload, and certain differences in vehicle technology and foreign factors. The use of national conditions vehicles? Ever since China's lubricants still have "core"? Many domestic oil experts have pointed out that if China's lubricant industry continues to follow this line of thinking, it may well be that, like the automobile industry, it does not have its own "core." They believe that the absence of an engine and the lack of design dominance are two critical factors that are currently a deadly weakness in China's auto industry. If the lubricant industry itself does not have its own OEM standards, it will only follow foreign standards, and sooner or later will one day meet. Become an empty shell. At that time, only foreign technologies can be fully used. Base oils are used as raw materials from the underground to purchase the compounding agent of others and then blended into refined oil. However, such oils still face the question of whether it is suitable for Chinese cars. If our country has its own OEM standard, Dr. Fu Xingguo believes that although the World Trade Organization joins in advocating the reduction of trade barriers, the national standard as a guiding principle cannot be less, because it concerns the competitiveness of enterprises and the country. The OEM's work is determined by the nature of OEM lubricants, and it is also a need for the development of China's lubricants market. If China has its own OEM standards, foreign oil will not be driven straight through without a threshold, and they must meet China's standards when entering China. China's lubricant industry is not a matter of profit or profit, but is a matter of corporate security and national security. Lubricants are like flowing blood. The lives of others who can transfuse their blood can be long. Only when they can make blood, vitality can flourish. Is China capable of setting up OEM standards? In fact, the original heavy-duty trucks such as Dongfeng and Liberation were developed by our country's own engines, and we did our own engine bench tests and developed oils ourselves. Even now, the lubricating oil companies of Sinopec and PetroChina and their subordinate lubricant companies have obtained a considerable number of lubricant product technical certifications from headquarters of multinational automotive companies, demonstrating that the technical level and quality level of oil products have reached the corresponding loading oil and Service stations use the international level of oil. In many joint ventures, local brands of lubricants have not been recognized as loading oil. The reason, Director Zhang Chunhui analyzed that, on the one hand, the company's work and services are not in place, and it is not fully recognized by the multinational automotive companies. On the other hand, it also shows that the joint venture companies are leading in the technology and products of automotive-related materials and components. The initiative to upgrade and improve optimization is not enough. In China, OEMs such as FAW and FAW have implemented their own lubricant specifications and standardized oil use, but whether they can change the specifications of the auto industry, establish a unified lubricant standard for the automotive industry, and realize China's The standardization of automotive lubricants is a question worth exploring. However, there are many oil experts have strongly questioned that the establishment of their own OEM standards has a very important premise, that our country's auto manufacturers must have the ability of automotive engine design and development. Lubricating oil is for the engine. The engine is the main driving force for upgrading the oil. Without its own engine technology, how to produce its own oil? This is a question worthy of consideration and reflection by all auto manufacturers in China. When will the new Chinese standard set off your hijab? Sources said that China will soon introduce a more advanced oil quality certification standards. It was revised on the basis of the 1995 standard. Now that the standard has completed the draft, it is in the process of submission. However, when reporters tried every means to contact the Chinese Academy of Petroleum and Chemical Sciences responsible for standard setting, they asked about the contents of the standards. From the president to the scientific research staff, they all remained silent. I do not know what medicine they bought. It seems that the issue is too sensitive to them. It seems that we only have to wait, wait, and wait, waiting for the agencies responsible for standard setting, waiting for the efforts of car manufacturers and oil companies.
