a- Click here for product label. b- Standards, shown in orange, are established by API, SAE and others. Ranges, shown in teal, represent the high and low data for the major brands tested. c-Test Method for metal analysis is ASTM ASTM D5185. d- Although silicon is used as an antifoam additive in lubricants, concentrations above 7ppm have been linked to contamination from abrasive material, e- Average of the 13 major brands of API SN ILSAC GF-5 tested in September 2011. f- Intial test result 15.5; recheck 15.1. The specification of 15 max is expressed in two significant figures and therefore this result meets specification. |
