This test method was developed to evaluate automotive engine oils for protection against oil thickening and engine wear during moderately high-speed, high-temperature service. The increase in oil viscosity obtained in this test indicates the tendency of an oil to thicken because of oxidation. In automotive service, such thickening can cause oil pump starvation and resultant catastrophic engine failures. The deposit ratings for an oil indicate the tendency for the formation of deposits throughout the engine, including those that can cause sticking of the piston rings in their grooves. This can be involved in the loss of compression pressures in the engine. The camshaft and lifter wear values obtained in this test provide a measure of the anti-wear quality of an oil under conditions of high unit pressure mechanical contact. The test method was developed to correlate with oils of known good and poor protection against oil thickening and engine wear. Specially formulated oils that produce less than desirable results with unleaded fuels were also used during the development of this test. The Sequence IIIG engine oil test has replaced the Sequence IIIF test and can be used in specifications and classifications of engine lubricating oils, such as the following: Specification D 4485, Military Specification MIL-PRF-2104, and SAE Classification J183. |

| 1. Scope | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| p id="s00002">1.1 This test method covers an engine test
procedure for evaluating automotive engine oils for certain
high-temperature performance characteristics, including oil
thickening, varnish deposition, oil consumption, as well as engine
wear. Such oils include both single viscosity grade and
multiviscosity grade oils that are used in both spark-ignition,
gasoline-fueled engines, as well as in diesel engines.
Note 1—Companion test methods used to evaluate engine oil performance for specification requirements are discussed in SAE J304. 1.2 The values stated in SI units shall be regarded as the standard. The values given in parentheses are provided for information purposes only. The only exception is where there is no direct SI equivalent such as screw threads, national pipe threads/diameters, and tubing size. 1.3 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use. Specific warning statements are provided in 6.14.1.1 and 7.1. |
