The separation system on the Classes of ACE motor oils. Decoding motor oil ACEA A3 B3 B4 What does

Almost every label canister with motor oil you can find information about its viscosity class, specifications and admission of automakers. Let's try to decrypt the value of the marking of motor oils:

What can be on the label canister with butter:

1. SAE viscosity class. One of the main quality characteristics of the oil is, as is known, its viscosity. It is from it that depends the degree of oil distribution over friction surfaces, and ultimately - the engine resource. For all-seated oils, the first digit (next to W) is a winter class, after hyphena "Summer" class. The smaller the numbers - the more liquid oil. From the class of viscosity, the correct engine lubrication depends, especially during the start and warm-up engine at negative temperatures. Liquid oil works better at negative temperatures and saves fuel by 2%. More dense oil is more reliable when engine overheats, in a hot climate and for old worn engines. The most common classes are safe for any engines: 5W-30 and 5W-40. Under the conditions of extremely low temperatures (-40 and below), oils 0W-20 and 0W-30 are recommended. For old and worn: 15W-40. Be careful with the oils of classes 0W-40 and 0W-50, they can be dangerous for your engine.
2. Specifications. Specifications were invented to facilitate the choice of oil by car enthusiasts and professionals. When using oil on "its" specification, the wear and risk of the engine breakdown are reduced, the "avgar" of oil, fuel consumption, decreases the noise, improve driving performance Engine (especially at low temperatures), and also increases the service life of the catalyst, and the exhaust cleaning system. Most common classes (American and Asian gasoline engines from 2010 g) (oils with high operational properties For modern gasoline and light diesel engines)
3. Tolerances of automakers. Among European manufacturers are also distributed a tolerance system. In the hierarchy of marking, admission stands on the highest stage. The presence of admission means that the oil in one form or another has passed the "quality control" inside the manufacturer of your car and is recommended to apply on certain models and under certain conditions. Examples of tolerances: MB-Approval 229.5,
4. Barcode. Often, the label does not set the country of production, but according to the first diggers of the bar code you can always determine exactly where the oil is made. See the first digit table of the most common barcodes:
5. Part number and production date.The party number is specified as a rule on the canister with oil (not on the label), it unique number Which is assigned party lubricant produced in one day on one stirrer. There may also include the date of production. Although the shelf life of the oils is as many as three years, it will not be superfluous that the product is not shifted. If you have suspicions in, you need to send a party number and photo labels to the manufacturer, in the overwhelming majority of cases of your appeal will consider and you will promptly receive an answer
6. Pseudo-Arching.In most cases, motor oil manufacturers add a large amount of information to the label, which is not generally accepted standard markingBut it should be allocated for this oil among others, show its advantages. Usually this marking has no technical root and is the fruit of the creativity of marketers who exploit our delusion with you. Examples: FULLY SYNTETIC, HC, cleansing, estant, with the addition of smart molecules, anti-wear, etc.
7. Special categories of motor oils. There are engine oils, special mainly industrial applications. As a rule, these oils are seriously different from ordinary car differ in characteristics, they are not allowed to apply them. Examples: ship, aircraft, for gas-piston stationary engines, tractor oils.

Now consider these groups.

Viscosity Oil Marking

The viscosity of the oil is determined at high temperatures and high speed of shift surfaces, characterized by three indicators - dynamic, kinematic, as well as viscosity index. Let's say change dynamic viscosity Shows how the engine oil will behave under pressure. It is measured in Pouas (P). Kinematic viscosity characterizes the change in oil properties under the action of forces, for example, centrifugal, and is measured in centistoxes (CST) or in mm2 / s. But the viscosity index gives an assessment of the dependence of the viscosity of the oil from temperature. The wider temperature Rangein which the necessary fluidity and viscosity of the oil must be ensured, the higher the index should be. Only then motor oil can be considered high quality.

According to the viscous characteristics of the oil, it is customary to be divided into all-season, summer and winter.

All season include classes oil:
SAE 0W-30, SAE 0W-40, SAE 5W-30, SAE 5W-40, SAE 10W-30, SAE 10W-40, SAE 15W-40, SAE 20W-40.

When marking all-season oils Two viscosity numbers must be present, the first - viscosity at low temperatures, the second - at high.

Summer, most viscous, oils of classes:
SAE 20, SAE 30, SAE 40, SAE 50, SAE 60.

The number after SAE denotes the degree of viscosity than it is more, the greater the viscosity of the particular oil.

Winter, less viscous, classes oils:
SAE 0W, SAE 5W, SAE 10W, SAE 15W, SAE 20W.

In the symbols of winter engine oils, the letter W - Winter (Winter) should be present.

Specialized oils (summer, winter) Currently in the consumer market are practically not found, they gradually displaced all-season, but it does not mean that you can use any of the all-season motor oils offered on the market.

To properly choose oil for a particular engine, you need to consider a number of factors

1. Requirements of the manufacturer of the car outlined in the instruction manual (service book).

Engine design can be very different from each other. When developing new motors, designers are oriented on a certain viscosity of the oil. Therefore, different models - different power Oil aluminosions, bandwidth diameter, Honinovy \u200b\u200bsize, different parameters for heat removal. Therefore, before buying engine oil, look into the instruction manual, as a last resort, use one of the chambers of the oil on the Shell, Mobile website, Castrol, etc. All of them pick up the oil on the Orsollaler system, where the requirements of automakers and the selection of oils goes on them.

2. Climatic operating conditions of the car.

Everything is quite simple than colder ambient temperature, the less the viscosity class should be motor oil (Number of SAE letters):

3. Lifecycle and current status of the engine.

With a long service life of the car, the gaps in the engine friction pairs are significantly increasing, which requires the use of more viscous oil to provide satisfactory pressure in the lubricant system. This is especially important in the summer when the car engine can be heated to maximum temperatures.

For old worn engines, the resource of which is coming to an end, recommend using motor oils, the class of which is higher than those specified by the service book. This may be the SAE 15W-40 classes, SAE 20W-40, for completely old engines it is better to stay on classes: SAE 15W-50, SAE 20W-50. Attention, pouring an elevated class oil pay attention to the temperature. A viscous oil with a strong frost - it can not be a medicine, but a poison that will kill the engine.

4. Fuel economy or driving racing style?

If the savings are 1-2% important to you and in your service book, it is allowed to use low viscosity oils (0W-20, 5W-20, 5W-30) - pay attention to the brands of the oils of the SAE class. On the contrary, if the fuel economy you do not care and you like to squeeze the pedal to the floor, choose as thick oil as possible from the fact that it is allowed for your motor. Fat film between driving details - will reduce wear and prevent possible breakdownscaused by extreme operating conditions.

API and ACEA Specifications

In addition to the designations of viscosity, there are other letter notation on the labels beginning with letters. This marking leads its pedigree from the United States, which is why the requirements for pouring oil corresponding to a specific API class can be found primarily from American and Asian car brands. Letting the API marking decryption. API classification divides oil into two main categories:

• S (Service) suggests that this oil is intended for gasoline engines passenger cars, minibuses and small load trucks;
• Category C (COMMERCIAL) used in diesel engines Commercial cars.

After the letter S indicates the "version" of the specification A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, J, L, N (Each improvement in the specification is indicated by the new letter of the Latin alphabet). As a rule, the later specification, the higher the level of the main operational properties of the oil. Only oils with the latest specifications are suitable for newest engines. At the expense of the opposite there are contradictory opinions. Despite the fact that the API assures in backward compatibility, many retro-automatic owners use the oils of early, and even canceled categories.

After the letter C (diesel), the level of the main operational properties of the oil is indicated, which is indicated by the letters: A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, I, J. Additionally, after the letter, the digit indicates the type of diesel engine: 2 - Two-stroke, 4 - four-stroke. Currently, classes are mainly used: CF, CF-2, CF-4, CG-4, CH-4, CI-4, CI-4 PLUS, CJ-4. Oils at later categories, more expensive and designed primarily for cars with exhaust cleaning system (catalyst, EGR, diesel filter)

In the US, a certain type of marking API is required in the illustration. (1) - category API (2) Viscosity class (3) Designation - that oil is environmentally friendly / resource-saving. The API Special Commission regularly checks oil in stores, reveals and punishes marking violators, and those whose oil does not correspond to the level of the claimed specification.

In addition to the above, abbreviation can be present in the designation of motor oil - classification of the association of European car manufacturers. According to the specifics of this classification of oil, they are divided into three classes: a / b - for gasoline and diesel engines of passenger cars, C - for gasoline and diesel engines equipped with a catalyst, E - for diesel engines of trucks. Per alphabetic design Should a category - a figure that characterizes the level of basic operational properties this oil. Also at the end of the specification - the year of adoption of the category can be given.

Other specifications

Quite rare, mostly japanese cars You can meet specifications Global DHD I.. Creating these specifications was an attempt to combine the requirements of the API and ACEA with the requirements of Japanese automakers. However, this idea did not receive a special development and the second version did not appear. For Japanese and Korean motorcycles, the specification is distributed . For 2-stroke engines (FA, FB, FC, FD, as the properties increase, and for clear MA and MB). For engine hydrocycles and snowmobiles - oriented to the specification NMMA.

Now you can easily understand the labeling features on the labels canister with engine oils. If nevertheless, something is incomprehensible and the questions remained - ask in the comments, I will definitely answer. Attention: due to the large number of automatic spam comments on premocodents, i.e. Your question will be published when I respond to him (I do it about once a week). If you want to receive an oil brand recommendation please specify a car model, engine characteristics (diesel or gasoline, volume, model, year), operating conditions, which oil is filled now, which recommendations are written in the service book).

Lubricating oils are used by a person of 3.5 thousand years. Even the simplest cars need them. Before the appearance of oil and products of its processing, vegetable and animal fats were used. For example, during operation steam machines Rapeseed oil was used. This material adheres well to metal surfaces and is not washed with water and ferry.

In 1859, oil refining products appeared, served as the basis for creating mineral oils. With the advent of polymer modifiers of viscosity, a transition from summer and winter to all-season compositions was possible.

Types of motor oils

The product is a composition of materials. It consists of two parts: it is the base oil and additive complex. The latter provide the variety of product properties. Depending on the production method basic oil It is divided into three types.

1. Mineral, obtained from oil (Mineral).

2. Synthetic, resulting in complex petrochemical synthesis. Marking of synthetic engine oil - FULLY SYNTHETIC. The most qualitative and expensive.

3. Mineral-based semi-synthetic with the addition of highly efficient synthetic components (semi-synthetic). Reasonable compromise price / quality ratio.

Synthetic oils have a number of advantages in relation to mineral.

Purpose

The main purpose of lubrication is the formation of fine and at the same time durable film on the surface of the rubbing parts to prevent direct contact of their micronether. Thus, wear comes down to a minimum.

Appointment of motor oils: universal, for gasoline and diesel engines. Separate group - for two-stroke power plants. This is evidenced by the corresponding marking of motor oils: the value "Diesel", "2t" or "2 TACT". Her absence indicates a universal application.

Choice

How to choose the marking contains many indicators, but the consumer is interested in two of them:

Quality level (whether it is suitable for a specific car);

Viscosity (whether it is suitable for a certain season and climate).

A special approach requires new, modern cars.

Answers to two main questions gives marking of engine oil. Decryption of it - in the generally accepted indexing system.

There are several of them. Most often, three - SAE, API and ACEA are used. Sometimes ilsac is added to them.

SAE standard

Classification is based on viscous characteristics. They are in this system - the main.

SAE (Association of Automotive Engineers of America) establishes, which range of viscosity indicators includes engine oil.

Marking uses this indicator measured in conventional units. What it is more, the higher the viscosity.

Standard Sets three groups of oils: summer, winter and all-season. The latter is most common.

From the title different species It becomes clear that according to this label, based on the SAE standard, you can also find out only one thing: whether oil is suitable for use in a specific season in certain climatic conditions or not. Just this.

The standard sets three groups of oils. They differ in seasonality of use.

1. 0W, 5W, 10W, 15W, 20W, 25W - Winter oils. Their six. The parameter with the index W (WINTER) is "Winter". What it is less, the more effective "cold" use. The minimum value is 0.

2. 20, 30, 40, 50, 60 - summer oils. Five them. The parameter without sign W - "Summer". Shows the preservation of viscosity while increasing the temperature. Than this parameter is higher, the more efficient the use of oil in the heat. Maximum value - 60.

3. 10W-50, etc. - all-season. The number of them is 23.

For example, the 5W30 marking means that it is all-season use. It is recommended to use in the range of air temperatures from -30 to +20 degrees.

So, what information characterizing motor oil, SAE marking gives the consumer?

These are information on the temperature characteristics of the environment under which the following is ensured:

1. Scrolling crankshaft a regular electric starter at a cold start.

2. Oil pumping mode through engine highways. When cold start, it must provide a pressure at which dry friction in the pairing is eliminated.

3. Reliable lubrication in summer in conditions of long-term work in hard mode.

API classification

Developer - American Institute of Petroleum products. API allows you to choose an oil for the car depending on the year of its manufacture. After all, the process of improving machines, which consists in the release of more high-speed, lungs and perfect engines, continuously.

Classification is focused on cars produced in America.

Adopted letter marking of engine oil. Decoding is such. S (Service) - gasoline, c (commercial) - diesel. Operational qualities denotes the second label letter, in order from A and further - as quality improves. For example, the SJ class was introduced quite recently. At the same time, he pushed sh. SJ classification is assigned expensive and high-quality oils on a synthetic basis. They are designed for the most modern machines.

Cheaper SH in some parameters are inferior to SJ, they are ideal for cars production of 1994-1989 and earlier. The SF class is focused on older fat and simple motors.

Universal Engine Oil: Marking Dual, for example: SF / CC, CD / SF, etc. SF / CC - "Rather gasoline", CD / SF- "Rather diesel". Example - in the photo.

Due to the dynamic development of diesel engines, their complication occurs: the equipment of turbocharged, etc. For such power plants, special solutions are required. Therefore, the leading manufacturers include in an assortment of oils for diesel engines. These compositions receive a special labeling "Diesel".

In a separate group, oils for gasoline power plants with energy saving function are isolated. They have an additional EU designation (ENERGY CONSERVING).

Classification of the Association of European Automakers (ACEA)

It is characterized by more stringent requirements for the quality of oils. This is due to the fact that in Europe specific operating conditions of cars and several other engine designs.

ACEA classification It characterizes the operation of motor oil in high temperatures.

ACEA allocates four classes with marking A, B, C, E. Designed for gasoline, diesel engines, as well as power plants equipped with neutralizers.

The classification in a separate group allocates energy-saving oils. They have some features. When using them, fuel economy is achieved by reducing the thickness of the oil film at high operating temperatures. Some, mostly Japanese, engines are designed precisely under such brands. Energy-saving oils are used only in cases where they are recommended by the car manufacturer. So, BMW and Mercedes-Benz advise them at all do not apply these brands on the machines.

What does the marking of motor oils via ACEA? Classes A and B in the aspect of energy saving are marked equally. What does it mean? Classes A1, A5, B1 and B5 - energy-saving. The rest are standard oils. This is A2, A3, B2, B3 and B4. Energy saving oils are not used in old cars. They require more reliable protection.

Double marking, as A3 / B4, is used to designate universal oils (gasoline or diesel).

A significant part of American and some European automakers are recommended for their compositions compositions corresponding to ACEA A3 / B4, the Japanese concern - ACEA A1 / B2 or A5 / B5.

Classification of ilsac

The brainchild of two Associations of automakers - Japan and America. It has three classes of oils that provide energy saving and intended for passenger gasoline machines. Marking: GF-1, GF-2 and GF-3.

These oils are optimally suitable for cars from the rising sun. For the American selected by ILSAC, the API is equivalent.

API and ASA classification establish oil performance. Moreover, their values \u200b\u200bare minimally permissible. Despite the fact that the manufacturers of oils and additives are coordinated with the manufacturers of car manufacturers, they are not always satisfied with the manufacturers. Tests on standard methods cannot fully take into account the features of the operation of new modern engines. Therefore, automakers reserve the right to formulate their specifications that put forward special requirements.

Conducting tests of oils on its engines, they are either pick them up, guided by one of the generally accepted classifications, or develop their own norms indicating the brands that are most suitable and allowed.

Specifications of automakers B. obligatory Indicated on the package next to the labeling class of operational properties. This requirement is carried out strictly.

All over the world adopted a single marking of engine oil. The decoding of it gives an unequivocal answer to the question about the scope of product.

Consider on the example. So, the marking of the oil of motor 5W40.

This is a synthetic composition for all-season exploitation at air temperature from -30 to +35 degrees.

According to aPI classification CJ-4, oil is used for cars manufactured after 2006 and equipped with high-speed diesel engines that comply with emission standards from 2007. Used when working on fuel, which contains no more than 0.05% sulfur. Effective for vehicles with and exhaust recycling system. When working on high-quality, containing no more than 0.0015% sulfur fuel, provides an increased mileage before replacing.

Thus, the Motor 5W40 oil marking indicated on the package contains a sufficient amount of information to determine its suitability for operation on specific car models.

This is the Association of European Car Manufacturers. This organization was created to lobby the interests of automakers. One of the activities of ACEA was the issuance of requirements for the use of motor oils in engines of companies in this organization of companies.
To date, its membership is very impressive: BMW, Daf, Daimler-Crysler, Fiat, Ford, GM-Europe, Jaguar Land Rover., Man, Porshe, Psa Peugeot Citroen, Renault, Saab-Scania, Toyota, Volkswagen, Volvo.

The latest edition of the ACE motor oil classification was adopted in 2004. From this year, motor oils for diesel and gasoline engines of passenger cars in ASA are combined into one category. But, due to the fact that not all the newest cars that are classified by new edition ASEA, can be used in engines of earlier releases, manufacturers of automobiles still write on the packages of motor oil assigned earlier grades of quality according to the previous revision of 2002.

Please note that any machine manufacturer, which uses ACEA standards in its advertising and on packaging, must necessarily conduct the necessary tests according to the requirements of the organization responsible for matching the quality of motor oils ACEA standards.

What do the numbers and letters in the class ASA?

In the latest edition of ACEA (2004), the car is divided into three categories:

A / B. - Motor oils for gasoline and diesel engines. This category included all previously designed classes A and B (until 2004 a - auto-oil for gasoline engines, in - for diesel). To date, there are four classes in this category: A1 / B1-04, A3 / B3-04, A3 / B4-04, A5 / B5-04.

FROM - New Class - Automasla for diesel and gasoline engines that meet the latest tightened requirements for ecology exhaust gases EURO-4 (as amended 2005). These engine oil are compatible with catalysts and diesel filters. Actually, it is the innovation in European environmental requirements and caused the reconstruction of the ACEA classification. To date, there are three classes in this new category: C1-04, C2-04, C3-04.

E. - Motor oils for loaded diesel engines of heavy vehicles. This category existed from the very introduction of a classification (since 1995). In 2004, cosmetic changes were made, 2 new E6 and E7 classes were added, and two other, obsolete class were excluded.

Description of classes and categories

Motor oils by definition cannot comply with the Unified Standard. Various engines and types of gearboxes, operating conditions - all these factors are forced to produce technical fluids with different parameters.

To consumers (automobile owners and car owners) are not combined in compatibility supplies With aggregates, it was decided to create a quality standards system.

Initially, oils were classified only by viscosity (SAE). Then the API quality system was created (American Petroleum Institute), which was used in North America.

Immediately after its introduction, the Association of European Engineers a similar classification of ACEA oils was developed, for the European market. Both standards exist in parallel, not conflicting with each other.

What does the standard say

The classification of motor oil on ACEA was designed to lobby the interests of European automakers. In addition, several concerns from the United States with branches in Europe entered the "support group".

Here is an incomplete list of founders of the Standard: BMW, Volkswagen AG, Porshe, Daimler, Land Rover, Jaguar, Fiat, PSA, Renault, Ford-Europe, GM-Europe, Crysler-Europe, Toyota, Man, Volvo, Saab-Scania, DAF. As deciphered (more precisely, what information does the standard carries in itself)?

What to pay attention to when buying a motor oil - Video Consultation

If the SAE abbreviation speaks only about viscosity, then in ACEA laid data on compatibility with specific engines. And lists of compatible aggregates are agreed with car convenues - participants of the certification program.

In classification according to the ASE standard, minimal basic requirements for oil quality are laid. That is, their observance (in contrast to the selection by SAE), guarantees the trouble-free operation of the motor or gearbox. In addition, this classification provides information on the following parameters and properties:

• basic base;
• a set of additional additives;
• chemical composition;
• physical properties;
• purpose (type of fuel, load on the engine, operating conditions of the aggregate).

Marking and their meanings

The classification of motor oils by ACEA can be applied to packaging along with other standards, such as API, ILSAC and GOST.

Important! From the point of view of the consumer, this particular certificate guarantees high quality. Conditions for testing oils To obtain the ACEA specification, significantly higher, in comparison with the rest of the standards. European requirements of tougher North American, Asian and Russian.

Despite the compactness of the classifier (for example, AEA A1 / B1), there is enough voluminous information into the abbreviation. During the existence of the standard (starting since 1996), the layout of characters changed several times.

The first certification options assumed a separate labeling for gasoline and diesel engines (ACEA A or ACEA B). Starting from 2004, all oils presented to obtain admission are simultaneously tested for all types of fuel.

It makes no sense to remember abbreviations with mono tolerance, such consumables are no longer produced.

Main classification of oils according to ACEA standard (including outdated)

1. Class A - certified compatibility with power plants operating only on gasoline. The content of sulfur and sulfate ash is higher than modern standards environmental safety EURO.
2. Class B - admission is suitable for heavy fuel engines. Load class on diesel force aggregate: "Light Duty", that is, light and medium. The percentage of sulfate ash is reduced to modern norms, the sulfur content is quite high.
3. Class C - Standard is designed for a fairly large line of motors. Works with gasoline engines equipped with a catalytic neutralizer, as well as with diesel engines equipped with summer filter. It is characterized by the average and low content of sulfate ash and sulfur, oil meets the high requirements of environmental safety.
4. Class E is a fairly narrow standard, intended for the powerful diesel engines working in the difficult conditions "Heavy Duty".

Detailed ACEA Classification

After 2012, ACEA introduced many additional subclasses:

• For passenger cars equipped with diesel and gasoline engines. Measures small and average load. 4 categories of Motor Oil ACEA: A3 / B4, A1 / B1, A3 / B3, A5 / B5;
• For commercial diesel engineering and heavy trucks of category from C1 to C4, the engine must comply with EURO 4 environmental standards;
• For motors operating on any fuel, in the presence of in the design of exhaust gas purification systems (catalyst, DPF) - another 4 categories: E4, E6, E7, E9.

The last figure denotes a consistent increase in class and compatibility class. If in power installation It is prescribed to use ACEA A3 / B3 oil, then the ACEA A5 / B5 can be poured into it. No backward compatibility.

Details about Classes ACEA - Video

The most sought-after categories with decoding:

• A1 / B1 - stable to bundle oil, are designed to prolong the replacement interval. Minor friction losses. The main use is gasoline and diesel engines working on small loads. The classifier is not universal - you should study the tolerances of the car manufacturer.
• A3 / B3 - designed for gasoline engines with high degree Forcing, including turbine. When operating with diesel fuel, on the contrary, used on low-loaded DVS. Universal weather exploitation, increased replacement intervals.
• A3 / B4 - Development of the previous specification: Work on turbocharged diesel engines with high forcing. Have backward compatibility with A3 / B3.
• A5 / B5 is a relatively fresh standard that has enjoyed advantages (more precisely - requirements) of previous classifications. In addition to environmental tolerances, oil refers to the category of highly economical. In addition, the lubricant is practically not consumed "on the Ear". It has backward compatibility with previous classes. The exception is only the lack of compatibility with specific engines (indicated in the instructions for regulatory work).

Important! If there are several quality standards on packaging with motor oil, it is better to navigate exactly on ACEA.

Acea. - Association created by the largest European manufacturers (Alfa Romeo, BMW, Citroen, Peugeot, Fiat, Renault, Volkswagen, Daimler Benz, British Leyland, DAF).
It was founded as a result of the CCMC merge with ATIEL. The CCMC specification, which is currently replaced by ACEA, classify products as G for gasoline, PD for lungs and D for heavy diesel engines.
ACEA Specifications were designed to improve quality, performance and better attitude towards the surrounding environment.
Accepting aCEA specifications implies:

• Introduction to the operation of new innovation materials, in comparison with the currently used
• Analysis and certification of quality levels of each used formula
• The obligation of manufacturers does not make changes to the approved formulas
• ISO 9001/2 Factory Certification
• Consent of manufacturers with ATIEL standards, organization, together with CCMC identifying methods and parameters of the basis of ACEA certificates

Tests required by ACEA specifications are added to the CCMC formulated and make them more stringent.

The following letters classly class types:
[A] - gasoline engines
[B] - Light diesel engines
[C] - Fangs with devices to reduce the number of exhaust
[E] - Heavy diesel engines
Digital categories indicate various methods Applications associated with a certain class of engines specified by letters. The latest update of the ACEA specifications occurred in February 2002.
Responsibility for choosing the desired ACEA category lies on the engine manufacturer.
Oils addressed to a specific category can also comply with the requirements of another, but the oil of a certain category and class should be poured into specific engines.
The reference for the year is only for industrial necessities, giving information about the level and quality of the materials used. More than fresh editions of the specifications mean that new tests were conducted or new requirements were introduced into the category. At the same time, the editors retain backward compatibility, new will always fully maintain the level of old, except when a new category is introduced.
