Summary of Test Method4.1 Each test engine is assembled with many new parts and essentially all aspects of assembly are specified in detail.4.2 The test stand is equipped to

45、 control speed, load, AFR, and various other operating parameters.4.3 The test is run for a total of 216 h, consisting of 54 cycles of 4 h each. Each cycle consists of three stages.4.4 While the operating conditions are varied within each cycle, overall they can be characterized as a mixture oflow-t

46、emperature and moderate-temperature, light and medium duty operating conditions.4.5 To accelerate deposit formation, the level of oxides of nitrogen in the blowby and the rate of blowby into the crankcase aresignificantly increased. The fresh air breathing of the crankcase is eliminated and the oil

47、and coolant temperatures are lowered toinduce condensation of water and fuel.4.6 The performance of the test engine oil is evaluated at the end of the test by dismantling the engine and measuring the levelof deposit formation.5. Significance and Use5.1 This test method is used to evaluate an automot

48、ive engine oils control of engine deposits under operating conditionsdeliberately selected to accelerate deposit formation. This test method was correlated with field service data, determined fromD6593 134side-by-side comparisons of two or more oils in police, taxi fleets, and delivery van services.

49、 The same field service oils were thenused in developing the operating conditions of this test procedure.5.2 This test method, along with other test methods, defines the minimum performance level of the API Category SL (detailedinformation about this category is included in Specification D4485). This test method is also incorporated in automobilemanufacturers factory-fill specifications.5.3 The basic engine used in this test method is representative of many that are in modern automobiles. This factor, along withthe accelerated operating condition
