Lubricating Oils for Internal Combustion Engines

1. Scope And Field of Application The Gulf standard is concerned with lubricating oils for internal combustion

engines suitable for gasoline and diesel engine services excluding marine

application.

2. Complementary References*

2.1 GSO 126/1990 “Methods of Sampling lubricating Oils”.

2.2 GSO ISO 3987:2011 “Petroleum products - Lubricating oils and

additives - Determination of sulfated ash”

2.3 GSO 873/1997 “Determination of Apparent Viscosity for Engine Oils

at Low Temperature Using the Cold Crank Simulator”.

2.4 GSO896/1997 “Determination of Phosphorous Content in Lubricating

Oils and Additives”.

2.5 GSO1078/2003 “Determination of Kinematic Viscosity and Dynamic

Viscosity for Petroleum Products”..

2.6 GSO ISO 2909/2008 “Calculation of Viscosity Index from Kinematic

Viscosity”.

2.7 GSO ISO 3771/2011 “Determination of Base Number-Perchloric

Acid Potentiometric Titration Method”.

2.8 GSO ISO 6247/2008 “Determination of Foaming Characteristics of

Lubricating Oils”.

3. Definition 3.1 Mineral Base oil: Petroleum product produced after refining,

(separating fuel distillates) by extracting asphalt, aromatics, resins,

unstable materials, wax and moisture to improve its characteristics.

Also it can be separate mineral oil base types according to whether

they are Conventional or hydro-processed. Conventional base oils are

refined using traditional methods (applying chemicals) and tend to

leave undesirables behind, such as sulfur, oxygen, nitrogen and carbon

3


compounds, and trace metals. These can affect the performance of the

oil.

Mineral base oils that have been hydro-processed have undergone

additional, more advanced refining processes than their conventional

counterparts. The name "hydro-processed" is derived from the fact

that refineries use hydrogen reactions (in a process known as hydro-

cracking) to remove impurities. When base oils are subjected to even

more hydroprocessing, they attain the status of “severe”

hydroprocessed oils, which means they contain minimal amounts of

impurities.

Hydro-isomerized mineral oils reconstruct cracked waxes into

branched paraffin’s. This technology is growing globally to meet

global standards for lubricants.

3.2 Base stock: Mineral or synthetic oil or mixture of both.

3.3 Additives: Chemical materials designed to be mixed with base stocks

to enhance its performance properties.

3.4 Lubrication: The act of adding lubricating oil to reduce friction and

wear between the moving parts, to control the increase in temperature

rise caused by the friction, to minimize corrosion and to remove

residues resulting from internal combustion.

4. Classification

Lubricating oils are classified according to their viscosity and

performance as follows:

4.1 Classification according to viscosity

Lubricating oils are classified according to viscosity based on SAE

classification (see Table 1).

Multigrade oils are the combination of winter (W) and summer

grades.

4.2 Classification according to performance

Lubricating oils are classified according to performance based on API

classification (see Table 2& Table 3).

Multigrade oils are the combination of winter (W) and summer

grades.

4.2.1 Service categories for passenger car oils:

The lubricants covered by these categories are for gasoline

passenger cars, some trucks and off-highway equipment. (Service

category “S”).

Note: The letter following service category “S” indicates the performance

category of the oils.

4.2.1.1. SJ-1997 Gasoline Engine Service Category SJ was adopted in 1996 to describe engine oil and was

first mandated in 1997. It is for use in service typical of gasoline

engines in present and earlier passenger cars, van and light trucks

operating under vehicle manufacturer’s recommended maintenance

procedures. Oils meeting API SJ requirement have been tested

according to The American Chemistry Council (ACC) Product

Approval Code of Practice and may utilize the API base oil

interchange and viscosity grade engine testing guidelines. (They

may be used where API Service Obsolete Categories SH and earlier

categories are recommended). Note: SJ represents the minimum category used in this gulf standard.

4.2.1.2. SL-2001 Gasoline Engine Service Category SL was adopted to describe engine oils for use in 2001.

These oils are use in service typical of gasoline engines in present

and earlier passenger cars, sport utility vehicles, vans and light

trucks operating under vehicle manufacturers, recommended

maintenance procedure. Engine oils that meet API service category

SL requirements have been tested according to the American

Chemistry Council (ACC) Product Approval Code of Practice and

may utilize the API Base Oil Interchange and Viscosity Grade

Engine Testing Guidelines. They may be used where API Service

Category SJ and earlier categories are recommended.

4.2.1.3. SM-2005 Gasoline Engine Service Category SM was adopted for use in describing engine oils available

in 2004. These oils are for use in service of gasoline engines in

current and earlier passenger cars, sport utility vehicles, vans, and

light-duty trucks operating under vehicle manufacturers

recommended maintenance procedures.

Engine oils that the API Service Category SM designation may be

used where API Service Category SL and earlier S categories have

been recommended.

5


Engine oils meeting API Service Category SM requirements have

been tested according to American chemistry Council (ACC)

Product Approval Code of Practice and may utilize the API Base Oil

Interchangeability and viscosity engine testing guidelines.

4.2.1.4. SN-2010 Gasoline Engine Service API Service Category SN was for use in describing Engine Oils

available in 2010. These oils are for use in service typical gasoline

engines in current and earlier passenger cars. Sport utility vehicles,

vans, and light-duty trucks operating under vehicle manufacturers

recommended maintenance procedures.

The API lubricants Group finalized the user language and test

requirements for both API SN and its supplemental Category-

Resource Conserving (RC). This new supplemental category

expands the previous Energy Conserving supplemental Category

(which provided only fuel economy claims) by also adding greater

emission system protection, turbocharger

Protection and enabling engines to operate on ethanol-containing

fuels up to E85. API SN, when licensed with Resource Conserving,

is equivalent to ILSAC GF-5.

The first allowable license date for API SN coincides with the

ILSAC GF-5 first license date of October 1, 2010.

4.2.2. Categories for Diesel Engines Oils

The lubricants covered by this category commercial (category “C”)

cover diesel engine trucks and diesel powered off-highway

equipment (fleets, contractors, farmers, etc.).

Note: The letter following commercial category “C” indicates the performance

category of the oil.

4.2.2.1 CH-4- 1998 Severe – Duty Diesel Engine Service

API Service Category CH-4 describes oils for use in high speed,

four- stroke cycle diesel engines used in highway and off-road

application. CH-4 oils provide effective control over engine deposits,

wear, corrosion, oxidation stability and soot accumulation. These oils

are especially effective in engines designed to meet 1999 emission

6


standard and may also be used in engines requiring API Service

Category CG-4. Oils designated for this service have been in

existence since 1999. CH-4 oils are engineered for use with diesel

fuels ranging in sulfur content up to 0.5% weight.

Note: CH-4 represents the minimum category used in this gulf standard

4.2.2.2 CI-4-2002 Severe Duty Diesel Engine Service

The API CI-4 Service category describes oils for use in those high

– speed , four- stroke cycle diesel engines designed to meet 2004

exhaust emission standards and was implemented in October 2002 .

These oils are compounded for use in all applications with diesel

fuels ranging in sulfur content up 0.05% by weight. These oils are

especially effective at sustaining engine durability where Exhaust

Gas Recirculation (EGR) and other exhaust emission component

may be used. Optimum protection is provided for control of

corrosive wear tendencies , low and high temperature stability , soot

handling properties, piston deposit control , valve train wear , Oxidative thickening, foaming and viscosity loss due to shear. API

CI-4 oils are superior in performance to those meeting API CH-4,

CG-4 and CF-4 and can effectively lubricate engines calling for

those API Service Categories.

4.2.2.3 CI- 4 PLUS in Conjunction with API Service Category CI-4

API Service Category CI-4 engine oils that also carry the

classification CI-4PLUS are formulated to provide a higher level of

protection against soot-related viscosity increase and viscosity loss

due to shear in vehicles powered by diesel engines.

4.2.2.4 CJ-4-2007 Severe Duty Diesel Engine Service:-

API service category CJ-4 describes oils for use in high-speed, four-

stroke cycle diesel engines designed to meet 2007 exhaust emission

standards as well as for previous model years.

Engines using this higher performance motor oil can experience

significantly less wear in the valve train and power cylinder areas of

the engine. In addition, API CJ-4 motor oil provides increased

protection against heat and increased soot handling capabilities, which

can help enforce engine cleanliness.

7

GSO STANDARD GSO 1785 /2012 API CJ-4 oil will be required to protect the engine and allow for

maximum durability of the exhaust after-treatment system.

2007 diesel engine will also require the use of Ultra-low sulphur

Diesel fuel.

In 2007 the fuel sulphur levels for off-highway are being reduced to

500 ppm – the same as today’s on-highway stand-and has

demonstrated the performance and suitability of API CJ-4 oils in

millions of miles of testing using conventional <500 ppm sulphur fuel

operators of off-highway who also have on-highway trucks can

benefit from the convenience of one oil for virtually all applications.
