What’s new Moto Line
What’s new Moto Line The new Euro 4 exhaust gas standard for trucks takes effect in Europe next year. MOTOREX has already held a seminar to communicate all the relevant details of Euro 4/5 and presented its revolutionary new MOTOREX FOCUS 4 motor oil. The targeted use of a gasoline additive provides protection where nobody can see: in the heart of the motorcycle. An important consideration, especially before winter storage. LowSAPS paves the way for Euro 4/5 Protecting inner value: gasoline additives 8 The EGR/CRT system used in buses retains over 95% of soot particles, thus making a contribution to better air quality.

KG The future limits of the Euro 4 standard require engines with modern exhaust aftertreatment systems, some of which can only comply with the standard in combination with a new motor oil. Exhaust aftertreatment systems Currently, two key methods of nitrogen oxide reduction are favored. The first variant is the Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) already known from Euro 3 vehicles, in which a proportion of the exhaust gas flow is first cooled and then returned to the combustion chamber. This reduces the combustion temperature and the formation of nitrogen oxides is suppressed. The second variant is Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR). SCR injects a precisely calculated quantity of a harmless urea/ water solution into the exhaust gas flow. The urea combines with the nitrogen oxides in a chemical reaction and is converted to harmless water and nitrogen. The urea solution, marketed as AdBlue ® , is carried in a separate tank in the vehicle and has to be regularly refilled. As both methods only reduce nitrogen oxides, further techniques are required to simultaneously reduce soot emissions. The CRT (Continuously Regenerating Trap) consists of a combination of an oxidation catalytic converter and a particle filter. Solution: LowSAPS technology The combination of engine management and exhaust aftertreatment is in itself insufficient to achieve the emissions objective. The motor oil also has to make a significant contribution to achieving the goal. However, the efficiency of aftertreatment is negatively affected by motor oil components such as sulfur, phosphorus and sulfated ash (SAPS). The objective for motor oil developers is therefore to drastically reduce the fractions of SAPS. However, these components are precisely the substances which have been used to date to lend the motor oil its desired properties. A new additive technology was needed. MOTOREX FOCUS 4 SAE 10W/40 The new MOTOREX FOCUS 4 motor oil with LowSAPS technology for heavy diesel vehicles fulfills the stringent Euro 4 exhaust gas standard. It was developed in close cooperation with the engine manufacturers and is officially approved to Daimler- Chrysler MB 228.51 and MAN 3477. Please contact us for further information. Modern sulfur-free gasoline is a highly complex mixture which can change significantly after only a few months in a motorcycle fuel tank. Condensate, reduced ignitability, deposits and other undesired compounds can be prevented with a suitable gasoline additive. Eliminates condensate: MOTOREX POWER PLUS Motorcycle fuel systems are sensitive to condensate, which develops in the tank due to temperature fluctuations and can lead to running problems and corrosion, resulting in serious defects. MOTOREX POWER PLUS binds condensate, protecting and caring for the entire fuel system. It is suitable for all 2 and 4-cycle engines with or without catalytic converters as well as for the normal commercial gasoline types. Trouble-free winter storage: MOTOREX FUEL STABILIZER Professionals recommend that motorcycle fuel tanks be filled completely for extended periods of non-use and for winter storage. Using MOTOREX FUEL STABILIZER maintains the combustion accelerators in the gasoline, thus ensuring ignitability of the fuel even after lengthy periods out of use. Oxidation and the associated varnish or gum-like deposits are also prevented. FUEL STABILIZER is suitable for all gasoline engines. Protects valves and valve seats: MOTOREX VALVE GUARD Valves in 4-cycle gasoline engines open and close up to several thousand times per minute. Before the introduction of unleaded gasoline, the lead in the fuel raised the gasoline’s octane number, thus increasing resistance to knocking, and also lubricated the valves and their seats, protecting them from wear. Now, high resistance to knocking is achieved without lead in modern super gasoline with octane numbers up to 100. MOTOREX VALVE GUARD is the environmentally compatible way of protecting the valves in all 4-cycle gasoline engines that date from the age of leaded gasoline. The integrated metering chamber in the 250 ml bottle (enough for 250 l of fuel!) enables easy and exact measurement of the additive while fueling. Modern tanks are usually coated inside. Older tanks, however, can rust in contact with H 2 O and oxygen. VALVE GUARD replaces the lubricating effect of lead in engines which used to operate on leaded gasoline. 9
