ACEA 2012 EUROPEAN OIL SEQUENCES FOR SERVICE-FILL OILS
Dec. 2012
This document details the ACEA 2012 European Oil Sequences for Service-fill Oils for Gasoline engines, for Light Duty
Diesel engines, for Gasoline & Diesel engines with after treatment devices and for Heavy Duty Diesel engines. These sequences define the minimum quality level of a product for presentation to ACEA members. Performance parameters other than those covered by the tests shown or more stringent limits may be indicated by individual member companies.
These sequences will replace the ACEA 2010 sequences as a means of defining engine lubricant quality from st 1 December 2012.
CONDITIONS FOR USE OF PERFORMANCE CLAIMS AGAINST THE ACEA OIL SEQUENCES
ACEA requires that any claims for Oil performance to meet these sequences must be based on credible data and controlled tests in accredited test laboratories.
ACEA requires that engine performance testing used to support a claim of compliance with these ACEA sequences should be generated according to the European Engine Lubricants Quality Management System (EELQMS), but ACEA reserves the right to define alternatives in exceptional cases.
