Non-detergent oil is typically a type of mineral oil that lacks additives such as detergents, which are designed to keep engine parts clean by suspending dirt and preventing sludge buildup. This type of oil is often used in applications like older engines, certain industrial machinery, and equipment that does not require the same level of cleanliness as modern engines. Non-detergent oils are generally not recommended for modern vehicles, as they can lead to increased wear and deposits. Examples include some formulations of SAE 30 or 40 oils specifically labeled as non-detergent.
