• Chinese regulator speeding up with ambitious targets


• China VI strongly indicates the necessity of DPF/GPF
• Turbocharged or natural charged gasoline direct injection
and downsizing of the engine triggers LSPI
• Shifting base stock market provides new formulation opportunity
• Total cost of ownership becoming more important to fleet managers

Future PCMO ̶ Higher Quality, Lower Viscosity

Market Trends Implication to PCMO


Local consumers become more International OEMs start to develop engines
demanding for customisation and even specify oil locally, e.g. GM PATAC

OEMs offering global platform to Chinese


market with globally standardised oils Quality upgrade accelerates, SN will
become the mainstream by 2020 while SL
and below grades diminishing
Car owners become more technology conscious

Government sets ambitious FE target: FE is the all overwhelming imperative, lower


China CAFE: 5.0L/100km in 2020 viscosity oil more desirable than ever (e.g. 0WX)

Lubes formulation with reduced


China VI requires installation of GPF
SAPS expected to prevail

TGDI and GDI engines account for Carefully re-balanced formulation to address
over 40% of new passenger cars oxidation challenge and minimise LSPI event

OEM approved oil enjoys Further fragmentation of the market, increasing


quality credit in the market share of ACEA and OEM approved oils
