31、EX1.1 API Category GL-5 is routinely referenced around theworld. There has not been, however, an ASTM Standard thatdefined the performance requirements of gear oils intended forAPI Category GL-5 service. This absence of a readily availableASTM standard may have resulted in confusion in the market-pl

32、ace, and made it difficult to communicate updates or changesin test procedures and pass or fail criteria used to evaluate theperformance of lubricants against the performance require-ments of API Category GL-5.
