We\u2019ve seen one of the toughest Dakars in recent years. How did the Repsol lubricants respond?<\/em><br \/>\nTP:<\/strong>\u00a0After analysing the used oil, we were able to verify its physical-chemical properties such as viscosity and TBN (Total Base Number, which measures the engine oil capacity). Its characteristics were very similar to those of an oil that hasn\u2019t been used. This means that it worked perfectly during the entire race; there was a very small amount of oxidation and degradation. This shows that the high-tech components and high-quality additives that we included in the mix worked correctly. We\u2019re pleased with the results and we\u2019ve demonstrated that using the best products is key for withstanding the conditions of a difficult race like the Dakar.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>BR: What specific challenges do Repsol lubricants face at the Dakar?<\/strong><\/em><br \/>\nTP: For one, the cold start is very important. We want to help the engine reach its optimum performance level as soon as possible, and that means we need synthetic bases with very low viscosity. But later, when the engine is hot, it\u2019s important to protect the machinery, which is why we\u2019ve put in additives that thicken the mix under hot conditions. The trick is to strike a balance between the two situations. When it\u2019s cold, there is more wear, and to prevent that as much as possible, you need to protect the engine with anti-wear additives and friction modifiers. When it\u2019s hot, the additives need to help the engine withstand the workload. These are two different situations with different needs, and the challenge is to find something that works for both.<\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/bxrepsol.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com\/static\/2022\/08\/05055814\/Dakar-2018-Isidre-Esteve-subida1.jpg\" alt=\"coche rally dakar repsol surcando paisaje boscoso\" itemprop=\"image\"  \/><\/p>\n<p><em><strong>BR: Could we take the lubricant for Isidre Esteve\u2019s car and use it for our road vehicle?<\/strong><\/em><br \/>\nTP: I wouldn\u2019t recommend it! Road vehicles\u2019 engines need a much lower level of viscosity. Our normal car is not subjected to the strain, temperature changes, or workload we mentioned. With an everyday lubricant, you\u2019re looking to save fuel, so we\u2019d go with oils like 0w-30 or 5w-30 with a lower viscosity. Of course, when we talk about the Dakar we\u2019re not thinking about saving fuel. Drivers have to cover hundreds of kilometres at high RPM in a dusty environment. The most important thing is for the engine to be protected in all conditions, especially when it\u2019s got a full workload, and that\u2019s what you get with a high-viscosity oil.<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>BR: How do you test the lubricants at the Repsol Technology Lab?<\/em><br \/>\nTP:<\/strong>\u00a0We test the lubricants using test engines, outside the vehicle. They\u2019re located in a laboratory that\u2019s fully monitored with a huge number of sensors: exhaust temperature, water intake, water output, cooling, exhaust gases\u2026we put different oils in the test engine and calculate their power curve. If we\u2019re using lubricants that save fuel, we work to reduce friction and increase fuel efficiency. Since at the Dakar what we\u2019re looking for is protection against wear, we put the engine in challenging conditions with a high workload to see what temperatures it reaches and if there\u2019s a drop in performance. After we perform the tests, we compare the formulas we tested and choose the one that best suits the vehicle\u2019s needs. Then we move on to the real tests.<strong>\u00a0Isidre Esteve and the Repsol Rally Team relied on our oil at the Morocco Rally. This allowed us to receive feedback on how the product performed under real conditions<\/strong>. The analysis of the used oil showed that it was in excellent condition, with very little oxidation and a very small amount of residue from worn metal.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>BR: What about the gearbox oil? How did it fare?<\/strong><\/em><br \/>\nTP: Unlike engine oil, transmission oil needs extreme pressure additives. When the driver changes gears, parts of the gears come into contact with one another. The oil and additives are responsible for preventing damage to the gears, so it\u2019s very important for the product to include the appropriate additives. Transmission lubricants have a high viscosity to protect the components, but they shouldn\u2019t provide much resistance, so they\u2019re a completely different product. Like the engine oil, when we analysed the used oil, we saw that it was almost like new and had little degradation.<\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/bxrepsol.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com\/static\/2022\/08\/05055817\/Dakar-2018-Isidre-Esteve.jpg\" alt=\"Coche Repsol de Rally Dakar surcando terreno \u00e1rido\" itemprop=\"image\"  \/><\/p>\n<p><em><strong>BR: What do you think about Isidre Esteve\u2019s results at the Dakar this year?<\/strong><\/em><br \/>\nTP: We\u2019re very happy. He was fantastic. He finished several positions ahead of last year, and for us it was very gratifying to collaborate with this project. I\u2019d also like to congratulate Carlos Sainz for his victory.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>BR: Have you ever thought of hopping into a Rally car?<\/strong><\/em><br \/>\nTP: I\u2019ve never driven one, but I did sit in the passenger\u2019s seat on the Jarama circuit. We went around four or five times, and it was sensational. The speeds that the vehicles get up to and when they take the curves\u2026you can\u2019t even imagine it until you ride in a Rally car. Jarama doesn\u2019t have a dirt track, but it helps you get an idea of the enormous amount of skill it takes to drive a vehicle with these characteristics.<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>BR: Thanks for your time, Tom\u00e1s!
