Since most European OEMs are favouring SCR (Selective Catalytic Reduction), I don’t really need to use a low-SAPS oil. Correct?
Different vehicle makers will in general take different views on this. However, all the major OEMs are supporting low-SAPS engine oil specifications of one type or another. Shell’s new low-SAPS oils offer significantly better protection and performance that can benefit virtually all engine types and ages.
