Comments 156918 Matthew Ansari Chevron Global Lubricants Q-5 Technical Voting Negative since Q-5 should not be modified per industry consensus No change. 208635 Brent Calcut Afton Chemical Corporation Table Q-5 Technical Fuel economy limits for W-16 should not be listed in Annex Q. No change. All revisions should be included in Annex G. 111040 Barbara Dennis BP Lubricants USA Inc. Table Q5 General As written, the revised GF-5 specification has 0W-16 and 5W-16 grades requiring a TEOST 33C. These grades should not require a TEOST 33C. The note on the TEOST 33C should state: No TEOST 33c limit for SAE 0W-16, 0W-20 and 5W-16. 143769 Reginald Dias Phillips 66? General One ILSAC memeber has made request to withdraw this ballot because the accompanying Annex document is not inclusive of all GF-5 updates from the previous revison. 4
Comments 149427 Gail Evans Lubrizol Corporation, The Table Q-5 General It is our understanding that this ballot will be reissued with a correction. We reserve our vote & any comments for the reissued ballot. 83439 Joan Evans Infineum USA L.P. Table Q-5 Technical Table is not updated with latest changes from Ballot November 2012 adding HTHS requirement update the Table and re issue the ballot 154409 Luc Girard Petro-Canada Table 1 General The wording of this ballot does not incorporate HTHS limits previously balloted Rework entire document while being mindful of the previously balloted HTHS limits 205163 David Gray Evonik Oil Additives Annex Q General We belive this issue should be determined by direct marketers of finished fluids and do not wish to adversely impact the decision. 128880 James Linden TOTAL Lubricants USA, Inc. Table Q General Based upon comments at the February 12 LG meeting this ballot will need to be re-issued to correct mistakes in the ballot. The updated version of Annex Q (but not yet published) does not permit the inclusion of oils with HTHS values below 2.6 mpa-s for GF-5, thus listing fuel economy requirements for such oils in Annex Q makes no sense. A footnote describing the fuel economy requirements for xw-16 oils could be included in Table G-5 5
Comments 159079 Glenn Mazzamaro Vanderbilt Chemicals LLC Table Q-5 General For FEISum, the difference between W-30 oils and W- 20 oil limit is 0.7 while this difference for FEI2 is 0.3. This is consistent with FEISum having a contribution from FEI1 and FEI2. When moving from W-20 to W-16 oils, the proposed FEISum difference is 0.3, but the FEI2 difference is zero, so there is no contribution to FEISum from FEI2, which is inconsistent with all other viscosity grades. FEI2 limits increase from 0.6 to 0.9 to 1.2 as we move down in viscosity grades from 10W-30 to W-30 to W-20, so we would expect a higher FEI2 limit for W-16 oils than for W-20 oils. For W-16 oils, the Seq. VID limit for FEI2 is 1.3%. 6
Comments 125188 Michael Ragomo ExxonMobil Table Q-5 Technical The original intent for expanding SAE J300 to include xw- 16 grades was such that these grades would be included with GF-6 specification development. Table Q-5 Technical Sequence VID limits for ILSAC GF-5 and API SN Resource Conserving were established from significant work (~70 tests). These data were roughly split evenly between xw-20 and xw-30 grades, and the xw-20 oils run were roughly split evenly between 0W-20 and 5W-20 grades. No xw-16 data were included in the matrix data that led to the establishment of the current GF-5 ILSAC limits. Table Q-5 Technical Proposed Sequence VID limits for ILSAC GF-5 (and would apply to API SN Resource Conserving) for xw-16 grades are based on limited data. It is not evident whether only favorable data were presented. It is also not evident whether industry data (both for and against these limits) has been requested or considered in this proposal. Table Q-5 Technical Proposed Sequence VID limit for xw-16 grades sets a precedent for GF-6 limits prematurely, and may not align with findings from Sequence VIE matrix testing. Table Q-5 Technical TEOST 33C limits should not be included for xw-16 grades. Defer inclusion of SAE xw-16 grades in ILSAC GF-5 or API SN Resource Conserving specification. Allow xw- 16 grades to be licensable against API SN (only) specification, with limits under the middle column of Annex 5, Table G-5. Include xw-16 grades with ILSAC GF-6 matrix testing to ensure a robust statistical design is used to properly evaluate these grades before setting Propose including xw-16 grades with ILSAC GF-6 matrix testing to ensure a robust statistical design is used to properly evaluate these grades before setting Propose including xw-16 grades with ILSAC GF-6 matrix testing to ensure a robust statistical design is used to properly evaluate these grades before setting Propose including xw-16 grades with ILSAC GF-6 matrix testing to ensure a robust statistical design is used to properly evaluate these grades before setting Expand current note to also exclude SAE 0W-16 and 5W-16 grades. 7
Comments 124835 Ron Romano Ford Motor Company Table Q5 Technical This ballot should be withdrawn. The vesion of Q5 that was modified was not the latest version and does not show the changes to Q5 agreed on in the Nov 2012 ballot. The changes in Q5 in this ballot contradict the Table Q5 agreed to in 11/2012. Based on the 11/2012 changes, Table Q5 should have a min HTHS150 requirement of 2.6 so W-16 can't be part of table Q5 and GF-5. It was agreed upon by ILSAC and API that W-16 viscosity grades would not be included in GF-5. 110349 Thom Smith Ashland Consumer Markets Table Q-5 General The marked up version of Annex Q is not the latest version. Does not include HTHS restriciton 158185 Jerry Wang Chevron Oronite Company LLC Table Q-5 General xw-16 oils were not evaluated during VID test development or during GF-5 limit negotiation. Available data show examples of possible performance but not sufficient to create a new limit Use existing limits such as the one for other viscosity grades or xw-20 8
Ballot Change to API 1509 Annex Q Addition of SAE 0W-16 & 5W-16 Engine Oils Ballot Revision A revision to Ballot Change to API 1509 Annex Q Addition of SAE 0W-16 & 5W-16 Engine Oils has been issued. It was necessary to revise the ballot of Annex Q, Table Q-5 because the text in the ballot did not include specifications for High Shear/High Temperature Viscosity and Shear stability (10-hour stripped KV @ 100 C) which were balloted and accepted into the standard in November 2012. The revised ballot of Annex Q, Table Q-5 includes the missing specifications as Bold Underline text. There is no change to the changes to Annex Q, Table Q-5 which are being balloted. (Yellow Highlight) Ballot Instructions Ballot Change to API 1509 Annex Q Addition of SAE 0W-16 & 5W-16 Engine Oils ILSAC (International Lubricant Specification Advisory Committee) and JAMA (Japan Automobile Manufacturers Association) have requested the inclusion of the new SAE 0W-16 and SAE 5W-16 viscosity grades in API 1509, Annex Q ILSAC Minimum Performance Standards for Passenger Car Engine Oils. ILSAC/JAMA provided an example of Annex Q with the proposed changes. Lubricants Group reviewed the proposed changes to API 1509, Annex Q and agreed to ballot them for inclusion into API 1509, Annex Q. Lubricants Group Members should review Annex Q with the changes highlighted. Lubricants Group Members should cast their vote using the API eballot System. All Votes will be counted and all Comments will be reviewed and resolved before the ballot results are final. Non Lubricants Group Members may review Annex Q with the changes highlighted. Non Lubricants Group Members can comment on the ballot using the API eballot System. All Comments will be reviewed and resolved before the ballot results are final. The Ballot Closes on Monday February 17, 2014. All Ballots and comments must be received by this date. If approved the Effective Date of the Change to API 1509 will be February 17, 2014. Page 1 of 5
