monitored is the testing volume per month, along with the
test capacity and impact of possible VH fuel outage and
running base oil interchange/viscosity grade read-across
(BOI/VGRA) matrices.
The specification development process is proving slow
and costly. Hardware is changing quickly, and chemistry
needed to address lubrication is changing. This complexity
is leading to concerns about the sustainability of our current
specification development process, backward compatibility
and test relevance going forward. Stakeholders are aware of
the issues and have come together to work on them in the
newly formed API-sponsored work group, Lubes Specification Development Review Group (LSDRG). Along with the
other stakeholders, ACC PAP is helping work the strategic
aspects of these systems in order to seek improvements to
the category development model to enable time-efficient
development cycles, promote cost-efficient testing, develop

field-relevant tests, enable lubricant innovation and provide
customer benefits.
1. The purpose of the ACC COP is to ensure that a particular engine lubricant
meets its performance specifications. This will be accomplished through the
use of specified engine tests, procedures and record keeping. ACC PAP task
forces support the elements of the COP by defining the requirements of an
engine lubricant candidate data package to confirm performance against
the industry specifications, auditing test labs and sponsors to confirm compliance with the COP, monitoring candidate test activity and generating data
to support test development and specification development in the industry
specification development processes. ACC PAP supports the ASTM test
development activities by providing funds to conduct precision matrices for
new tests and API 1509 Annexes E & F BOI/VGRA guideline development.
