a- Standards, shown in yellow, are established by API, SAE and others. b-Test Method used for metal analysis is ASTM ASTM D5185. c- ASTM D5185-09 Reproducibility by Element. d- This specification is expressed to two significant figures, therefore results up to 15.5 are considered on specification for 5W-30s. e- This specification is expressed to one significant figure, therefore results between 550 and 849 are considered on specification. f- Motor Oils with API Service Categories prior to API SJ do not have a NOACK Volatility standard.
