Full Description

1.1This test method describes a bench procedure to simulate the oil aging encountered in Test Method D7320, the Sequence IIIG engine test method. These aged oils are then tested for kinematic viscosity and for low-temperature pumpability properties as described in the Sequence IIIGA engine test, Appendix X1 of Test Method D7320.

1.2Units-The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as standard. No other units of measurement are included in this standard.

1.2.1Exceptions-There are no SI equivalents for some apparatus in Section 6, and there are some figures where inch units are to be regarded as standard.
