Oils developed for this service provide improved control of engine deposits,
oil oxidation and engine wear relative to oils developed for previous categories.
These oils also provide protection against rust and corrosion. Oils meeting
API Service Category SG may be used where API Service Categories SF, SF/
CC, SE or SE/CC are recommended.
• The IID gasoline engine test has been correlated with vehicles used
in short-trip service prior to 1978, particularly with regard to rusting.
• The IIIE gasoline engine test has been correlated with vehicles used
in high-temperature service prior to 1988, particularly with regard to oil
thickening and valve train wear.
• The VE gasoline engine test has been correlated with vehicles used in
stop-and-go service prior to 1988, particularly with regard to sludge and
valve train wear.
• The L-38 gasoline engine test requirement provides a measurement
of copper-lead bearing weight loss and piston varnish under high
temperature operating conditions.
• The 1-H2 diesel engine test requirement provides a measurement
of high-temperature deposits.

Oils meeting the performance requirements of the following diesel and gasoline
engine tests: The 1-G2 diesel engine test has been correlated with indirect
injection engines used in heavy-duty service, particularly with regard to piston
and ring groove deposits. The T-6, T-7 and NTC-400 are direct injection
diesel engine tests. The T-6 has been correlated with vehicles equipped with
engines used in high-speed operation prior to 1980, particularly with regard
to deposits, oil consumption and wear. The T-7 test has been correlated
with vehicles equipped with engines used in lugging operation prior to 1984,
particularly with regard to oil thickening. The NTC-400 diesel engine test has
been correlated with vehicles equipped with engines in highway operation prior
to 1983, particularly with regard to oil consumption, deposits and wear.
The L-38 gasoline engine test requirement provides a measurement of
copper-lead bearing weight loss under high-temperature operating conditions.
The T-6, T-7, NTC 400 and L-38 engines: See API CE Category
for explanation.
The 1K diesel engine test, which has been correlated with direct injection
engines used in heavy-duty service prior to 1990, particularly with regard
to piston and ring groove deposits. It has been demonstrated that the 1K
test, in combination with test method D5968, the bench corrosion test, can
be substituted for the NTC-400 test as an acceptable means to demonstrate
performance against this category.
Test method D6483, the T-9 diesel engine test can be used as an alternate
for the T-6 test and its limits.
Test method D5967, the F8A version, and its limits can be used as an
alternate for the T-7 test and its limits.
These oils are especially effective to sustain engine durability even under
adverse applications that may stress wear control, high temperature stability,
and soot handling properties. In addition, optimum protection is provided
against non-ferrous corrosion, oxidative and insoluble thickening, foaming,
and viscosity loss due to shear. These oils also have the performance
capability to afford a more flexible approach to oil drain intervals in
accordance with the recommendations of the individual engine builders
for their specific engines.
CH-4 oils are superior in performance to those meeting API CF-4 and API CG-4
and can effectively lubricate engines calling for those API Service Categories.
Engine oils that meet the API Service Category CI-4 designation have been
tested in accordance with the ACC Code and may use the API Base Oil
Interchangeability Guidelines and the API Guidelines for SAE Viscocity-Grade
Engine Testing.
CI-4 oils are superior in performance to those meeting API CH-4, CG-4, and
CF-4 and may be used in engines calling for those API Service Categories.
CI-4+ Introduced in 2006, with greater soot control over API CI-4 , Mack T-8E
moving to Mack T-11
API Service Category CJ-4 describes oils for use in high-speed four-stroke
cycle diesel engines designed to meet 2007 model year on-highway exhaust
emission standards as well as for previous model years.
These oils are compounded for use in all applications with diesel fuels ranging
in sulphur content up to 500ppm (0.05% by weight). However, the use of these
oils with greater than 15ppm (0.0015% by weight) sulphur fuel may impact after
treatment system durability and/or oil drain interval.
Engine oils that meet the API Service Category CJ-4 designation have been
tested in accordance with the ACC Code and may use the API Base Oil
Interchangeability Guidelines and the API Guidelines for SAE Viscosity-Grade
Engine Testing.
API CJ-4 oils exceed the performance criteria of API CI-4 with CI-4 PLUS,
CI-4, CH-4, CG-4 and CF-4 and can effectively lubricate engines calling for
those API Service Categories. When using CJ-4 oil with higher than 15 ppm
sulphur fuel, consult the engine manufacturer for service interval.
The first licence date for API CJ-4 was October 15, 2006.
Effective May 1, 2006, marketers may license products meeting API CJ-4
requirements as API CI-4 with CI-4 PLUS, CI-4, CH-4, CG-4, and CF-4.
CK-4 CK-4 is one of two diesel specifications introduced under Proposed Category
11 (PC-11), the other being API FA-4.
API service category CK-4 describes oils for use in high-speed four-stroke
cycle diesel engines designed to meet 2017 model year on-highway and Tier
4 non-road exhaust emission standards as well as for previous model year
diesel engines. These oils are formulated for use in all applications with diesel
fuels ranging in sulfur content up to 500 ppm. However, the use of these oils
with greater than 15 ppm sulfur fuel may impact exhaust aftertreatment system
durability and/or oil drain interval.
API CK-4 oils are especially effective at sustaining emission control system
durability where particulate filters and other advanced aftertreatment systems
are used. API CK-4 oils are designed to provide enhanced protection against
oil oxidation, viscosity loss due to shear, and oil aeration as well as protection
against catalyst poisoning, particulate filter blocking, engine wear, piston
deposits, degradation of low- and high-temperature properties, and soot-
related viscosity increase.
API CK-4 oils exceed the performance criteria of API CJ-4, CI-4 with CI-4
PLUS, CI-4, and CH-4 and can effectively lubricate engines calling for those
API Service Categories. When using CK-4 oil with higher than 15 ppm sulfur
fuel, consult the engine manufacturer for service interval recommendations.
API service category FA-4 describes certain xW-30 oils specifically formulated
for use in select high-speed four-stroke cycle diesel engines designed to meet
2017 model year on-highway greenhouse gas (GHG) emission standards. These
oils are formulated for use in on-highway applications with diesel fuel sulfur
content up to 15 ppm. Individual engine manufacturer recommendations should
be consulted to ascertain compatibility with API FA-4 oils.
API FA-4 oils are blended to a high temperature high shear (HTHS) viscosity
range of 2.9cP-3.2cP to assist in reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions.
These oils are especially effective at sustaining emission control system
durability where particulate filters and other advanced aftertreatment systems
are used. API FA-4 oils are designed to provide enhanced protection against
oil oxidation, viscosity loss due to shear, and oil aeration as well as protection
against catalyst poisoning, particulate filter blocking, engine wear, piston
deposits, degradation of low- and high-temperature properties, and soot'
related viscosity increase.
API FA-4 oils are neither interchangeable nor backward compatible with
API CK-4, CJ-4, CI-4 with CI-4 PLUS, CI-4, and CH-4 oils. Refer to engine
manufacturer recommendations to determine if API FA-4 oils are suitable for
use. API FA-4 oils are not recommended for use with fuels having greater than
15 ppm sulfur. For fuels with sulfur contents greater than 15 ppm, refer to
engine manufacturer recommendations.

Note:
(4) All reference materials and limits for RE1, RE2, RE3, RE4 and DBL-AEM can be used until acceptable new reference materials (proposed from CEC-L-039-96)
are available and appropriate limits have been set. The Daimler requirements for DBL-AEM D8948/200 are VDA 675301, 7 days ± 2 h, 150°C ± 2°C, closed cup
test. RE1, RE2, RE3, RE4 based on CEC and DBL-AEM based on Daimler AG data may continue to be used “grandfathered” for the lifetime of the ACEA 2012
sequences.
Note:
(5) Until a CEC Test Method is developed, the oxidation behavior of engine oil formulations must be proved by GFC-Lu-43A-11. Test results
obtained by this procedure will be accepted under the condition that they come from labs having participated to the official round robin and
comply with the quality criteria of GFC.

that a full L-039 data set including RE1, RE2, RE3 & RE4 + the Daimler DBL-AEM (requirements specified by Daimler AG), provided the requirements as specified in ACEA 2012 are met.
Note:
(6) Parameter is not an official CEC parameter.
(7) The limits shown are based on those applied in the U.S. market requirements. ACEA will continuously review the situation to ensure that these limits are appropriate for European vehicles
and lubricants. Once the successor test Seq. VH, which is still under development, is fully ASTM approved, the Seq. VH may be run with limits officially communicated by ACEA.
(8) The CEC-L-038-94 (TU3M) test was removed from these sequences since hardware will run out in early 2017. However, in order to assure / support wear protection although TU3 is
removed, ACEA intends to introduce the ASTM Seq. IVB test as a TU3-successor regarding valve train wear with the next oil sequences revision, with limits for Seq. IVB then to be defined
as based on ILSAC spec.
(9) Until the new CEC test method L-107 is fully developed, the gasoline sludge protection performance of engine oil formulations must be proven by the M271 sludge test procedure as
described by Daimler AG. Test results obtained by the M271 procedure will be accepted only under the condition that they come from test rigs being referenced and quality controlled
by Daimler AG. Limits are based on the same reference oil as with the old M111 sludge test. Once the L-107 procedure is fully CEC-pproved, the L-107 may be used, with limits officially

(1) Some specifics read-across rules applied, check the Product Approval System (Specifications).
Above requirements apply to both 2006 and 2011. Friction requirements below differ between 2006 and 2011 Specifications.
Note:
(1) Test shall be conducted by diesel injector method under the standard test conditions (30 cycles).
The JASO T903 specifications were implemented to ensure oils with the correct viscosity and friction characteristics were
available in the market for four-stroke motorcycles. These oils must meet a minimum requirement of API SG, SH. SJ,
SL, SM*, NS** or ILSAC GF-2, GF-3 or ACEA A1/B1, A3/B3, A5/B5, C2, C3, C4 and must meet these physical/chemical
requirements in addition to the JASO T904: 2006 friction test.
* SM excluding SM-EC
** SN excluding SN-RC
Note:
NMMA developed the FCW specifications for four-stroke outboard engines, in response to the increasing need for a
dedicated lubricant for this application, as opposed to the use of a traditional passenger car engine oil. Oils seeking
NMMA FCW approval must meet a minimum of API SG in addition to responding to the corrosion inhibition and anti-wear
requirements of an outboard engine.

and for SAE 15W-40, 20W-40, 15W-50, 20W-50.
p.) Corresonding ACEA Sequence or DDC specification level is indicated. Since the performance level of these specifications is different to MB specification they cannot be used alternatively to
MB specification.
u.) Detailed rating for Mack T-12, Cummins ISM and Cat C-13 according to API CJ-4 Merit Systems; Mack T-12 Cylinder Liner Wear and Top Ring Weight Loss results obtained as part of an API
CK-4 or FA-4 approval program, which includes a passing Volvo T-13 at the API CK-4 or API FA-4 level, may be used to satisfy the requirements of the Mack T-12 for MB-Approval 228.31
Conditions for approvals and the use of performance claims (MB sheets) against MB oil specifications
MB requires that any claims for oil performance to meet the mentioned MB specifications, must be based on credible data and controlled tests in accredited test laboratories.
All engine performance testing used to support a claim of compliance with these MB oil specifications must be generated according to the MB Read Across Guidelines and the European Engine
Lubricants Quality Management System (EELQMS).
The validity period of rebrands and reblends is limited by the validity period of the original and is therefore limited to max. 5 years.
From the introduction date of a new version of the MB Specification the previous version is still valid for one year. During this period of time both specification versions are valid for approvals.
Package Pass approvals: For every treat rate a trading approval is required. The trading approvals are handled like approvals for new oil formulations.

Conditions for approvals and the use of performance claims (MB sheets) against MB oil specifications
MB requires that any claims for oil performance to meet the mentioned MB specifications, must be based on credible data and controlled tests in accredited test laboratories.
All engine performance testing used to support a claim of compliance with these MB oil specifications must be generated according to the MB Read Across Guidelines and the European Engine
Lubricants Quality Management System (EELQMS).
The validity period of rebrands and reblends is limited by the validity period of the original and is therefore limited to max. 5 years.
From the introduction date of a new version of the MB Specification the previous version is still valid for one year. During this period of time both specification versions are valid for approvals.

API Lubricant Service Designation for Automotive Manual Transmission1 & Axles
This material was prepared by the Lubricants Service Classification Task Force
of the Fuels and Lubricants Committee, Marketing Department, American
Petroleum Institute, to assist manufacturers and users of automotive equipment
in the selection of transmission and axle lubricants for the operating conditions
as described.
In developing the language for the service classifications, a need was recognised
to supplement the descriptions for certain gear lubricants, particularly those
for hypoid gears, by referring to a series of tests which would serve as a “test
language” to provide more detailed information on the performance requirements
of such lubricant. This “test language” was developed by Section III of Technical
Division B on Automotive Lubricants of ASTM Committee D-2, and reference is
made to these test procedures in the API service designations described below.
This system of designations replaced all previous API gear lubricant designations
and became effective May 1, 1969. These designations are as follows:-
API GL-1 Designates the type of service characteristic of automotive spiral-bevel and
worm-gear axles and some manually operated transmissions operating under
such mild conditions of low unit pressures and sliding velocities, that straight
mineral oil can be used satisfactorily. Oxidation and rust inhibitors, defoamers, and
pour depressants may be utilised to improve the characteristics of lubricants for
this service. Frictional modifiers and extreme pressure agents shall not be utilised.
API GL-2 Designates the type of service characteristic of automotive type worm-gear axles
operating under such conditions of load temperature and sliding velocities, that
lubricants satisfactory for API GL-1 service will not suffice.
API GL-3 Designates the type of service characteristic of manual transmissions and
spiral-bevel axles operating under moderately severe conditions of speed
and load. These service conditions require a lubricant having load carrying
capacities greater than those which will satisfy API GL-1 service, but below
the requirements of lubricants satisfying API GL-4 service.
09/18 - Driveline - 2
API Lubricant Service Designation
API GL-4 This classification is still used commercially to describe lubricants, but the
equipment required for the anti-scoring test procedures to verify lubricant
performance is no longer available.
Lubricants suitable for this service are those which provide anti-score
protection equal to or better than that defined by CRC Reference Gear Oil
RGO-105 and have been subjected to the test procedures and provide the
performance levels described in ASTM STP-512A, dated March 1987(3).
API GL-5 Designates the type of service characteristic of gears, particularly hypoid in
passenger cars and other automotive equipment operated under high-speed,
shock-load; high-speed, low-torque; and low-speed, high-torque conditions.
Lubricants suitable for this service are those which provide anti-score
protection equal to or better than that defined by CRC Reference Gear Oil
RGO-110 and have been subjected to the test procedures and provide the
performance levels described in ASTM D7450(2).
API GL-6 This category is obsolete and is listed for historical reference only.
The equipment used to measure performance is no longer available.
Note: API GL-4 oils are not suitable for highly-loaded hypoid axles. API GL-4 oils
are used in synchronised manual transmissions and transaxles as well as
in mild hypoid and spiral bevel axles.

rated including cracking, hardness and blistering.
Scope: The Rolling Bearing Lubricant Test Rig FE8 can be used to study the
tribological system “Rolling Bearing”.
The test rig can be adapted to the most diverse operating and environmental
conditions. This makes it extremely versatile, allowing field applications as
well as lubricants, materials and roller bearings to be studied under their
specific operating conditions.
Equipment: FE8 test rig with adaptors to run oil or grease lubricants and roller or ball
bearings.
Method: A bearing is run to specific conditions for an allotted time either using a grease
or oil lubricant.
Rating: A visual check for pitting of the bearing surfaces and post test weight loss,
plus any increase in coefficient friction.
Method: The method consists of an enclosed gearbox with 1 litre of oil to be tested.
The gear pair are used to mix the oil with the air and effect foam formation
over a 5 minute period.
Rating: A visual rating on a numerical scale measuring the foam formation on top
of the test oil.
Significance: The addition of suitable additives to reduce the effects of foaming thus
reducing the possibilities of pitting and seizure.
Method: The four-ball EP tester is operated with one steel ball rotating against three steel
balls held stationary in the form of a cradle. The lubricant under test covers
the lower three balls. The speed of rotation, loading and duration time is set
dependant on method.
Load-Wear An index of the ability of the lubricant to prevent wear at applied loads. The
Index: equation for load-wear index reflects the ability of a lubricant to carry a high load
without welding and to allow only relatively small wear scars at loads below the
weld point.
Weld Point: The lowest load in kilograms at which the rotating ball welds to the three
stationary balls.
Wear The mean scar wear diameters are measured from the 3 stationary balls after
running test conditions.
Specifications: The user should determine to his own satisfaction whether the results
correlate with field performance or other bench test machines.
Method: Three 12.7 mm diameter steel balls are clamped together and covered with
the lubricant under test. A fourth steel ball is pressed with a force of 147
or 392 N into the cavity formed by the three balls for the “three-point contact”.
The temperature of the test lubricant is regulated at 75°C and the top ball is
rotated at 1200 rpm for 60 minutes. Lubricants are compared by using the
average size of the scar diameters worn on the lower three clamped balls.
Specifications: The user of this method should determine to his own satisfaction whether
the results of this procedure correlate with field performance or other bench
test machines.
(Stage Test) The load on the tooth flanks is increased in stages from Stage 1 to load
stage 10.
(Shock Test) The expected failure load is applied to an unused gear flank.
Ratings: The gears are inspected visually without removal at the end of each load stage.
The failure load stage is reached when the sum of the damaged area’s width
exceeds 10mm.
In addition for the stage test. If load stage 10 is reached without occurrence
of damage, the wheel has to be weighed. If the weight loss exceeds 20mg the
scuffing load carrying capacity of the lubricant is not defined.
Scope: Assess the relative load-carrying capacities of oils when used to lubricate steel/
steel spur gears.
Equipment: The FZG spur gear test rig consists of a closed power circuit with drive and
test gears connected by two torsion shafts. One of the shafts has a positive
clutch for application of the load.
Method: Special gear wheels are run in the lubricant under test at a constant speed
for a fixed time. The initial oil temperature is controlled but allowed to rise
freely during each stage of the test. Loading is raised in stages. The test is
continued until the damage load stage is reached, but if no damage occurs
at load stage 12 the test is terminated.
Ratings: The gears are inspected visually, without removal, at the end of each load stage.
Results: The load stage in which failure occurs is reported together with the test
conditions; e.g. A/8.3/90, where A = gear type, 8.3 = pinion speed at pitch
circle in m/sec, and 90 = initial temperature in oil sump in °C. These are
the usual conditions, but they can be changed as required.
Specifications: Results are reported in terms of the highest pass stage for the CEC method
or the first fail load stage, for the DIN Method.
Scope: Based on a test originally developed by Chevron, this procedure has been
adopted by ASTM D4998-89 for the evaluation of final drive lubricants for use
in agriculture tractors and similar off-road applications.
Method: Using the same test equipment and gear wheels as for the FZG load-carrying
capacity test, this procedure requires a fixed load durability run to the
following conditions.
Results: The data is reported as total weight loss for both test gears, together with
the total number of teeth exhibiting wear. The precision of the method
has not been determined.
Note: CEC test method development working group has abandoned the method until
further research studies are completed. This is due to poor discrimination.
Equipment: FZG test rig with a 25/1 gear reduction gearbox due to the low
speed requirement.
Method: The test is split into 3 stages and uses steel spur gears dipped in
approximately 2 litres of oil. The gear set is weighed before test.
Result: The result is determined by the weight loss after every stage
Scope: For testing suitable gear oils in the viscosity range from ISOVG 32 to
ISOVG 220 to discriminate pitting performance.
Equipment: The FZG spur gear test rig consists of a closed power circuit with drive and
test gears connected by 2 torsion shafts.
One of the shafts has a positive clutch for application of the load.
Method: FVA Project No 2/IV - A set of test gears are run in approximately 1.5 litres of
fluid with a constant tooth loading for up to 300 hours.
A visual inspection is carried out every 24 hours.
Results: The failure criteria is a pitting area on an individual tooth at least 4% of the
active flank. This corresponds to approximately 5mm2.
Method: The two part procedure comprises a load stage test followed by an endurance
test. During the load stage test, the ability of the gear lubricant tribological
systems to resist micropitting is determined. The endurance test provides
information on the progress of the damage after a higher number of
load cycles.
Results: The gears are examined for weight loss, area of micropitting and involute
profile deviation.
Scope: The method evaluates oil in respect of static friction and stick slip behaviour
when used in machine slideway applications.
Method: Slideways supporting a sliding block is lubricated with the test oil. The slideway
is gradually inclined until the sliding block begins to move. The angle at which
the block moves 20 microns is used to calculate the ‘Schmidt Coefficient of
Friction’. Developed by the Hans Schmidt Tribology Laboratory for their original
slideway test machine.
300 run-in cycles are carried out with the SKC 3 plastic test and 400 with the
Grey Cast Iron test. After completing the run-in, 10 test cycles are carried out
to determine the ‘Schmidt Coefficient of Friction’ of the oil.
Results: Graphical plots of all the run-in and test cycles are presented along with the
calculated results of the 10 test cycles.
Scope: To correlate shear stability with the permanent viscosity drop expected
in field service.
Scope: To evaluate rust and corrosion properties of a lubricant with the presence
of water.
Method: Bearings run in an oil/water mixture for 8 hrs. The rig then stands idle for a
period of 16 hrs. This cycle is then repeated with a final running of 8 hrs
before standing idle for 108 hrs. The bearings are then rated.
Rating: Bearings are visually rated on a scale of 1-5 depending on the amount of
corrosion present.
Scope: The Brugger Test determines the load capacity of industrial, transmission and
hydraulic lubricants. The test provides a useful technique for evaluating the
wear protection of a lubricant under conditions of minimal lubrication.
Method: A 25 mm diameter steel friction roller is rotated at 940 rpm (1.2 m/sec) against
an 18 mm diameter fixed steel cylinder roller with a force of 400 N applied
by a lever mechanism for 30 seconds. The surfaces are lubricated with a 5 ml
sample poured over the assembly one minute before the start of the test.
Significance: The user should determine to his own satisfaction whether the
results correlate with field performance or other bench test machines.
Equipment: The test uses the Timken Wear and Lubricant Testing Machine, in which
a pivoted test block is applied to the periphery of a rotating cylinder (cup)
in such a way that the pressure of application can be controlled.
Method: The machine is operated with the steel cup rotating at 800 r/min. Two
determinations are made: the minimum load that will rupture the lubricant
film and cause scoring or seizure; and the maximum load (OK load) that
will not rupture the lubricant film.
Specifications: The method is widely used for specifications purposes and is used to
differentiate between lubricants having low, medium or high extreme-pressure
characteristics. The results may not correlate with results from service.
Method: An adaptor, containing a standard single row taper roller bearing, is installed
in a Four-Ball test machine. 40ml of test oil is introduced into a cup surrounding
the bearing and the machine is run at 1500 r/min. with a 5 KN bearing axial
load, for test duration of 20 hours. The oil temperature is held at 60°C.
The percentage loss in kinematic viscosity of the oil after each test run
is plotted against time.
Significance: The method is being standardised for specifications purposes and is a rapid
means of assessing the shear stability of a wide range of lubricants.
Equipment: A machine capable of creating a mixed rolling/sliding contact using a steel ball
and a steel disc inside a fluid containing chamber.
Method: In the standard configuration the test specimens are a 19.05mm (3/4”) steel
ball and a 46mm diameter steel disc. The ball is loaded against the face of the
disc and the ball and disc are driven independently to create a mixed rolling/
sliding contact. The frictional force between the ball and disc is measured by
a force transducer. Additional sensors measure the applied load, the lubricant
temperature and (optionally) the electrical contact resistance between the
specimens and the relative wear between them
Result: The friction generated can be measured over a range of conditions using the
Stribeck curve method.
Scope: To reproduce the lubricated contact conditions which can lead to either
micro or macro pitting in an accelerated timescale.
Method: A test roller is held centrally and rotated by 3 test rigs while immersed in oil.
Loading is then applied.
Result: Failure criteria based on Roller weight loss, visual appearance and track width
change.
