Abstract
To avoid an unacceptably high exhaust gas back pressure when operating diesel engines equipped with a particle filter in the exhaust gas stream, an engine lubricating oil is used that has a catalytically active content of an iron compound in an amount of 5 to 20,000 ppm. The use of the additive facilitates the regeneration of the diesel particle filters by burning, especially under operating conditions of the diesel engine that lead only to relatively low exhaust gas temperatures. Iron compounds proposed are ferrocene, ferrocene derivatives, and iron salts of organic acids.
