The Rise of Ultra-Low Viscosity Engine Oils: Launching Oscar Jade Zero FE 0W8 & 0W12
By Oscar Lubricants
The internal combustion engine is evolving. With stricter fuel economy regulations and carbon emission targets, automakers are embracing ultra-low viscosity engine oils to achieve greater efficiency without compromising engine protection.
At Oscar Lubricants, we’re proud to be at the forefront of this shift with the official launch of:
Oscar Jade Zero FE 0W8 – Conforming to JASO GLV-1 for next-generation Japanese vehicles
Oscar Jade Zero FE 0W12 – Approved for BMW LL-22FE++, the newest standard from BMW for fuel-efficient engines
These products represent our most advanced formulations yet—engineered for friction reduction, fuel economy, and rapid engine protection during cold starts.
What Is 0W8 and 0W12 – And Why Does It Matter?
Traditional oils like 5W30 or 10W40 are too viscous for the micro-tolerances and advanced fuel-saving mechanisms in modern engines. Enter the 0W8 and 0W12 grades—ultra-low viscosity lubricants that:
- Minimize hydrodynamic friction losses
- Improve fuel economy by up to 3% compared to higher viscosities
- Enable faster oil circulation at startup, reducing wear
- Support hybrid, turbocharged, and small displacement engines under strict emission norms
- But these benefits only come when the formulation is chemically balanced with advanced base oils and additive systems that provide durability under heat and pressure.
Introducing Oscar Jade Zero FE Series
Oscar Jade Zero FE 0W8 – JASO GLV-1 Compliant
Designed for new Japanese vehicles from Toyota, Honda, Nissan, and Mazda, this oil meets the stringent JASO GLV-1 specification, which requires:
- Ultra-low HTHS (High Temperature High Shear) viscosity
- Severe fuel economy performance
- Advanced timing chain wear protection
- Excellent piston cleanliness and sludge control
This makes it ideal for hybrid systems, stop-start engines, and vehicles operating in high ambient temperature regions like the Middle East.
Oscar Jade Zero FE 0W12 – BMW LL-22FE++ Compliant
Built to serve the latest BMW high-efficiency powertrains, Oscar Jade Zero FE 0W12:
- Exceeds fuel efficiency targets set by BMW LL-22FE++
- Delivers low volatility and stable film strength under thermal stress
- Meets OEM needs for tighter clearances and lightweight engine materials
This formulation is optimized for turbocharged inline-3 and inline-4 engines, especially in electric-assisted or mild hybrid systems.
The Chemistry Behind the Innovation
Both oils are formulated using Group IV (PAO) and Group V synthetic esters, combined with:
- Advanced Friction Modifiers – Reduce drag and improve fuel efficiency
- Anti-Wear Agents – Ensure protection even with a thinner film
- High-Performance Dispersants – Keep engines clean despite lower detergency tolerance
- Low-SAPS Chemistry – Emission system compatibility for GPF and TWC
Despite their low viscosity, Oscar Jade Zero FE oils retain excellent oxidation stability, volatility control, and cam wear resistance, proven in both lab and field trials.
Tested for the GCC and Global Markets
At Oscar Lubricants, we understand that ultra-low viscosity oils must not only meet lab specs—but also survive real-world stress in hot climates.
That’s why Oscar Jade Zero FE 0W8 and 0W12 have been validated under:
- NOACK Volatility (ASTM D5800)
- HTHS Viscosity (CEC L-036-90)
- Sequence IVB Chain Wear
- Cold Start Pumpability (ASTM D5293)
This ensures that our new oils deliver fuel economy and wear protection, whether you’re in Dubai traffic or on the German Autobahn.
Now Available
Oscar Jade Zero FE 0W8 and 0W12 are available in:
