SpectraSyn Plus™ 3.6
- Flash Point (°F): 435
- Kinematic Viscosity @ 100°C (cSt): 3.6
- Kinematic Viscosity @ 40°C (cSt): 15.4
- Pour Point (°F): < -85
To meet increasingly stringent emission regulations, automotive original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) demand lower and lower lubricant viscosity grades for engine and transmission oils. Formulators turn to lighter base oils, which typically have better low-temperature fluidity but also tend to have high volatility that can increase emissions and oil consumption.
With its exceptional combination of low volatility and low-temperature viscosity, SpectraSyn Plus™ PAO synthetic base stocks allow the formulator to further optimize their base stock blends to achieve the required performance.
SpectraSyn Plus PAO is available in three viscosity grades:
- 3.6 cSt - Ideal for high-performance, low-temperature applications, such as greases and driveline fluids
- 4 cSt - Suited to a wide range of automotive applications due to Noack, CCS and viscosity characteristics
- 6 cSt - Suited for automotive and industrial applications that require good low-temperature and low-volatility performance.
Key Benefits
Low volatility for extended drain intervals
Improved energy efficiency
Low CCS viscosity for better engine starting and low-temperature oil flow
Cost-effective low-temperature and volatility performance when blended with mineral oils
Tailored to meet your needs across applications
Engine oil
Today’s engine oil market revolves mainly around one goal – sustainability. Lowering CO2 emissions to meet stricter regulations requires oils that enhance fuel economy and last longer.
Applicable products:
- SpectraSyn™ PAO
- SpectraSyn™ Plus PAO
- Esterex™ esters
Grease
Compared to mineral oil-based grease, synthetic greases provide enhanced performance in wider temperature ranges, at increased operating speeds, under increasing loads and power densities, and in equipment located in more remote areas that require longer product life.
Applicable products:
- SpectraSyn™ Elite mPAO
- SpectraSyn™ PAO
Automotive gear oil
Lowering CO2 emissions has become the top priority in today’s automotive gear oil marketplace. Formulators must satisfy their customers’ needs to minimize emissions through enhanced fuel economy while maintaining wear protection.

Proven performance
Enhanced volatility
In the ASTM D445 tests, SpectraSyn Plus™ PAO demonstrates a better balance of Kinematic viscosity (at 100°C) and Noack volatility compared to Group III and Group IV reference oils.
Improved volatility
ASTM D2270 measures the apparent viscosity of engine oils and base stocks between -5°C and -35°C using a Cold Cranking Simulator (CCS). Noack volatility is measured by ASTM D5800. SpectraSyn Plus™ PAO demonstrates improved volatility compared to a reference conventional PAO.
