Understanding MID-SAPS Technology in Modern Engine Oils
In today’s advanced lubrication technology, MID-SAPS (Medium Sulphated Ash, Phosphorus, and Sulfur) formulations represent a crucial balance between engine protection and environmental compatibility. At Caretta, we incorporate this innovative technology into our premium engine oils to meet the demanding requirements of modern vehicles while addressing strict emission regulations.
MID-SAPS oils contain carefully calibrated levels of additive components – typically 0.4-0.8% sulphated ash, ≤0.07% phosphorus, and ≤0.3% sulfur. This precise formulation offers significant advantages:
For vehicle engines, MID-SAPS technology provides:
-
Optimal protection for critical engine components
-
Reduced ash deposits in combustion chambers
-
Compatibility with advanced emission control systems (DPF, GPF, SCR)
-
Extended service life of catalytic converters
For diesel particulate filters (DPF), these oils:
-
Minimize ash accumulation that can clog filters
-
Help maintain proper exhaust flow
-
Reduce the need for frequent DPF regeneration
Our Dutch-engineered MID-SAPS oils at Caretta deliver:
✓ Enhanced wear protection through advanced additive packages
✓ Improved fuel efficiency without compromising performance
✓ Full compliance with leading OEM specifications (ACEA C2/C3, API SP)
✓ Extended drain intervals for reduced maintenance costs
Why choose MID-SAPS?
As emission standards become increasingly stringent (Euro 6/7, Tier 4), MID-SAPS technology represents the ideal compromise between robust engine protection and environmental responsibility. These formulations are particularly recommended for:
-
Vehicles equipped with diesel particulate filters (DPF)
-
Modern turbocharged gasoline direct injection (TGDI) engines
-
Hybrid powertrains requiring extended oil life
At Caretta, our MID-SAPS formulations undergo rigorous testing to ensure they meet the highest performance standards while protecting your engine and the environment.
