1、Designation:D448522Standard Specification forPerformance of Active API Service Category Engine Oils1This standard is issued under the fixed designation D4485;the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or,in the case of revision,the year of last revision.A
2、 number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval.Asuperscript epsilon()indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.INTRODUCTIONThis specification covers all the currently active American Petroleum Institute(API)engine oilperformance categories that have been defin
3、ed in accordance with theASTM consensus process.Thereare organizations with specifications not subject to the ASTM consensus process,such as theInternational Lubricant Standardization and Approval Committee(ILSAC),American PetroleumInstitute(API SM,SN SP Specifications),and the Association des Const
4、ructeurs EuropeansdAutomobiles(ACEA).Certain of these specifications,which have been defined primarily by the useof current ASTM test methods,have also been included in the Appendixes for information.In the ASTM system,a specific API designation is assigned to each category.The system isopen-ended,t
5、hat is,new designations are assigned for use with new categories as each new set of oilperformance characteristics are defined.Oil categories may be referenced by engine builders inmaking lubricant recommendations,and used by lubricant suppliers and customers in identifyingproducts for specific appl
6、ications.Where applicable,candidate oil programs are conducted inaccordance with theAmerican Chemistry Council(ACC)PetroleumAdditives ProductApproval Codeof Practice.Other service categories not shown in this document have historically been used to describe engineoil performance(SA,SB,SC,SD,SE,SF,SG
7、,SH and CA,CB,CC,CD,CD-II,CE,CF,CF-2,CF-4,CG-4)(see 3.1.2).SA is not included because it does not have specified engine performancerequirements.SH is not included because it was a category that could not be licensed for gasolineengine oil use in theAPI Service Symbol after Dec.2,2010.The others are
8、not included because theyare based on test methods for which engine parts,test fuel,or reference oils,or a combination thereof,are no longer available.Also,the ASTM 5-Car and Sequence VI Procedures are obsolete and havebeen deleted from the category Energy Conserving and Energy Conserving II(defined
9、 by SequenceVI).Information on excluded older categories and obsolete test requirements can be found in SAEJ183.1.Scope*1.1 This specification covers engine oils for light-duty andheavy-duty internal combustion engines used under a variety ofoperating conditions in automobiles,trucks,vans,buses,ando
