This study explores how reducing lubricant viscosity affects fuel economy in passenger cars through experimental characterization and semi-predictive modelling. Thus; three engine oils (0W-20; 5W-30; and 5W-40) were tested for their rheological and tribological properties. Data were introduced into a detailed GT-Suite model of a turbocharged gasoline SUV. Simulations over six different driving cycles; including European homologation and real-driving conditions; used a fast-running model (FRM) to assess engine friction and wear protection. Results showed that lower viscosity oils; especially; 0W-20; significantly reduced frictional losses; enhancing fuel economy. However; lower viscosity also increased contact friction under high power demand; raising durability concerns. A comprehensive evaluation of lubricants performance; offering insights into the trade-offs between fuel economy improvements and potential durability risks. © 2024 The Authors;
