Slide 18 CEC test development influencing release date Complete Under development Additional requirement DV6 Oil dispersion OM 646 LA Biodiesel EP6 Gasoline piston cleanliness CEC L-109 M271 EVO Bench oxidation Sludge Elastomer compatibility Sufficient time between test development and release is needed to ensure a smooth transition ACEA specifications must keep pace with engine technology TU5 succession being discussed TU3, M111FE, VW TDI and Sequence VG will need to be discussed ACEA European Oil Sequences expected in 2015 The key focus of attention for lubricant formulators in Europe is the revision to the ACEA European Oil Sequences. Timing for the next ACEA sequences is mainly being driven by the progress of CEC test developments. While some tests are ready, some of the most critical tests for the ACEA update are still under development and are proving to be difficult to complete. The good news is that CEC has already completed the DV6 oil dispersion test, which will replace the DV4 and the CEC L-109 Oxidation test, which is supposed to replace the GFC Oxidation test in the ACEA sequences. However, the OM646LA biodiesel test and the M271 EVO sludge test are still under development. In addition, new developments including the EP6 gasoline piston cleanliness and the new elastomer compatibility tests are now in progress. In our view it is essential to leave sufficient time between test development and specification release date to allow stakeholders to understand the tests, discuss limits and collect sufficient data to ensure a smooth and timely transition to the new ACEA sequences. Clearly the ACEA specifications must keep pace with advancements in engine technology and be representative of the vehicle fleet it is meant to protect. Which means that replacing tests are either coming to the end of life or which are no longer representative is an evergreen topic for ACEA. Succession options for TU5 test are already being discussed for the next ACEA sequences and for the subsequent ACEA issues the replacement of TU3, M111FE, VW TDI and the Sequence VG will all become important topics for discussion. It is imperative that ATIEL, ACEA, and ATC work collaboratively for a long term test replacement strategy to maintain the current ACEA sequences.
Slide 19 Proposed new C5 Category Driven by OEM demand for fuel economy SAE 0W-20 and SAE 5W-20 viscosity grades Engine performance requirements = ACEA C2 M111 fuel economy test 3.0% minimum Draft ACEA C5 Category HTHS 2.6 < 2.9 mpa s Shear Stability Stay in grade Noack 13% TBN Sulphur 0.3% m/m Phosphorus 0.09 0.07% m/m Sulphated Ash 0.8% m/m Chlorine Report Opportunity to reduce complexity The structure of the light-duty sequences has remained unchanged since the introduction of the ACEA C4 Category in 2007 but for the next issue we expect a new C5 mid-saps category for lower viscosity grades SAE 5 and OW-20 to be included with High Temperature High Shear as low as 2.6, which is driven by OEM requirements for improved fuel economy. While the engine performance requirements are expected to be the same as the ACEA C2 category, the M one eleven fuel economy test limit increases by another 0.5% in Fuel Economy improvement to 3%. In our view this presents a good opportunity to reassess the need for all the current categories to remain, and explore if the complexity of the sequences can be reduced. Bruce Royan, Lubricant Technology Manager at Infineum comments on the ACEA update.
Slide 20 Bruce Royan Infineum UK Ltd Lubricants Technology Manager The new ACEA sequences will bring further complexity to the European marketplace. It is important that we deliver higher levels of fuel economy through lubrication in Europe; nevertheless, the approach being taken will fragment further an already very fragmented marketplace. One of the key challenges has been the development of new engine tests that are both reproducible and repeatable and will server the purpose required within the ACEA specification.
