API Service Classification “S” Service
“S” Service - (Service Stations, Garages, New Car Dealers etc.) The following descriptions of the categories in the API Engine Service Classification System are intended as guides to aid in the selection of proper engine oils for significantly different engine service conditions. The performance requirements for these categories are technically described in SAE J183-June 1991, Engine Oil Performance and Engine Service Classification (except for SH). SA
Formerly for Utility Gasoline and Diesel Engine Service Service typical of older engines operated under such mild conditions that the protection afforded by compounded oils is not required. This category should not be used in any engine unless specifically recommended by the equipment manufacturer.
SB
For Minimum Duty Gasoline Engine Service Service typical of older gasoline engines operated under such mild conditions that only minimum protection afforded by compounding is desired. Oils designed for this service have been used since the 1930’s and provide only antiscuff capability and resistance to oil oxidation and bearing corrosion. They should not be used in any engine unless specifically recommended by the equipment manufacturer.
SC
For 1964 Gasoline Engine Warranty Maintenance Service Service typical of gasoline engines in 1964 through 1967 models of passenger cars and some trucks operating under engine manufacturers’ warranties in effect during those model years. Oils designed for this service provide control of high and low temperature deposits, wear, rust and corrosion in gasoline engines.
SD

API Lubricant Service Designation for Automotive Manual Transmission(1) & Axles
This material was prepared by the Lubricants service Classification Task Force of the Fuels and Lubricants Committee, Marketing Department, American Petroleum Institute, to assist manufacturers and users of automotive equipment in the selection of transmission and axle lubricants for the operating conditions as described. In transmissions, and particularly in rear axles, gears of different designs are available for a variety of different service conditions. Selection of a lubricant for specific applications involves careful consideration of the operating conditions and the chemical and physical characteristics of the lubricant to meet these service conditions. Until recently, transmission and differential lubricants were described in qualitative terms and by a variety of designations, each one attempting to describe both the lubricant and the service conditions under which the lubricant must perform. Consideration of these lubricant designations to a minimum number was deemed highly desirable in the light of present day technology. The American Petroleum Institute, therefore, prepared six lubricant service designations for automotive manual transmissions and axles, each designation referring to the performance required of a gear lubricant for a specific type of automotive service. These designations also recognise the possibility that lubricant may be developed for more than one service classification and as a result may be so designated. In developing the language for the service classifications, a need was recognised to supplement the descriptions for certain gear lubricants, particularly those for hypoid gears, by referring to a series of tests which would serve as a “test language” to provide more detailed information on the performance requirements of such lubricant. This “test language” was developed by Section III of Technical Division B on Automotive Lubricants of ASTM Committee D-2, and reference is made to these test procedures in the API service designations described below. This system of designations replaced all previous API gear lubricant designations and became effective May 1, 1969. These designations are as follows:API-GL-1
Designates the type of service characteristic of automotive spiral-bevel and worm-gear axles and some manually operated transmissions operating under such mild conditions of low unit pressures and sliding velocities, that straight mineral oil can be used satisfactorily. Oxidation and rust inhibitors, defoamers, and pour depressants may be utilised to improve the characteristics of lubricants for this service. Frictional modifiers and extreme pressure agents shall not be utilised.
API-GL-2
Designates the type of service characteristic of automotive type worm-gear axles operating under such conditions of load temperature and sliding velocities, that lubricants satisfactory for API-GL-1 service will not suffice.
API-GL-3
Designates the type of service characteristic of manual transmissions and spiral-bevel axles operating under moderately severe conditions of speed and load. These service conditions require a lubricant having load carrying capacities greater than those which will satisfy API-GL-1 service, but below the requirements of lubricants satisfying API-GL-4 service.

API Lubricant Service Designation
API-GL-4
This classification is still used commercially to describe lubricants, but the equipment required for the anti-scoring test procedures to verify lubricant performance is no longer available. Designates the type of service characteristic of gears, particularly hypoid(2) in passenger cars and other automotive type of equipment operated under high-speed, low-torque, and low-speed, high-torque conditions. Lubricants suitable for this service are those which provide anti-score protection equal to or better than that defined by CRC Reference Gear Oil RGO-105 and have been subjected to the test procedures and provide the performance levels described in ASTM STP-512A, dated March 1987(3).
API-GL-5
Designates the type of service characteristic of gears, particularly hypoid in passenger cars and other automotive equipment operated under high-speed, shock-load; high-speed, low-torque; and low-speed, high-torque conditions. Lubricants suitable for this service are those which provide anti-score protection equal to or better than that defined by CRC Reference Gear Oil RGO-110 and have been subjected to the test procedures and provide the performance levels described in ASTM STP-512A dated March 1987(2).
API-GL-6
This category is obsolete and is listed for historical reference only. The equipment used to measure performance is no longer available.
Footnotes:
(1). Automatic or semi-automatic transmissions, fluid couplings, torque converters, and tractor hydraulic systems usually require special lubricants. For the proper lubricant to be used, consult the manufacturer or lubricant supplier. (2). Limited - slip differentials generally have special lubricant requirements. The lubricant supplier shall be consulted regarding the suitability of their lubricant for such differentials. Information helpful in evaluating lubricants for this type of service may be found in the latest edition of ASTM & STP-512A. (3). The complete publication is titled “Laboratory Performance Tests for Automotive Gear Lubricants intended for API-GL-5 Service.”
Note:
04/02
API GL-4 oils are not suitable for highly-loaded hypoid axles. API GL-4 oils are used in synchronised manual transmissions and transaxles as well as in mild hypoid and spiral bevel axles.

David Brown Number S1.53 101
January 1985
DBGI Specification for Mineral Based Lubricating Oils for use in Industrial Enclosed Gear Units. Scope:
This specification covers the requirements for ten grades and three classifications of mineral based lubricating oils for use in DAVID BROWN enclosed gear units. The grades are numbered 0 to 9 and will be associated with a classification character. M - straight mineral oils A - anti-wear or mild EP additive oils E - industrial extreme pressure additive oils
Description:
The lubricants shall be stable homogeneous blends of highly refined mineral oils and additives. They should not contain any grit, abrasives, sediments or other impurities. The lubricants should be branded products on general sale or intended to be so.
Classification:
For mineral based lubricant the following general classifications will be used: Type M These lubricants will usually contain additives to reduce corrosion, oxidation and foaming. They may contain other additives designed to improve their performance in service. They should not contain additives which will adversely affect the performance of sprag holdback (or similar) devices. Type A These lubricants will usually contain anti-wear or mild extreme pressure additives which improve the load carrying properties of the base oil. Type E These lubricants will contain additives which are designed to improve the load carrying properties of the base oil. They should not contain any lead or lead based additives. The requirements for all three lubricant types are the same or similar in all respects except for carrying capacity.

Note: (1) When VG32 or VG46 oils are used in cold climate, pour points lower than -9°C are required. (2) Required only in those applications where condensation of atmospheric moisture is a problem. Where this does not apply, oils with dispersant additives, which tend to have poor water separating properties, may be used satisfactorily.

Equipment:
Method:
Load-Wear Index:
Weld Point:
Specifications:
04/02
A standardised machine design is used.
The four-ball EP tester is operated with one steel ball rotating against three steel balls held stationary in the form of a cradle. The lubricant under test covers the lower three balls. The speed of rotation is 1780 rpm. A series of tests of 10 seconds duration are made at increasing load until welding occurs.
An index of the ability of the lubricant to prevent wear at applied loads. The equation for load-wear index reflects the ability of a lubricant to carry a high load without welding and to allow only relatively small wear scars at loads below the weld point.
The lowest load in kilograms at which the rotating ball welds to the three stationary balls.
The user should determine to his own satisfaction whether the results correlate with field performance or other bench test machines.

FZG Load-Carrying Capacity Test IP334/DIN 51354 Scope:
Equipment:
Assess the relative load-carrying capacities of oils when used to lubricate steel/steel spur gears.
The FZG spur gear test rig consists of a closed power circuit with drive and test gears connected by two torsion shafts. One of the shafts has a positive clutch for application of the load.
Method:
Special gear wheels are run in the lubricant under test at a constant speed for a fixed time. The initial oil temperature is controlled but allowed to rise freely during each stage of the test. Loading is raised in stages. The test is continued until the damage load stage is reached, but if no damage occurs at load stage 12 the test is terminated.
Ratings:
The gears are inspected visually, without removal, at the end of each load stage. The failure load stage is determined by the summation of deep scoring, seizure lines or seizure areas on any of the gear teeth.
Results:
The load stage in which failure occurs is reported together with the test conditions; e.g. A/8.3/90, where A = gear type, 8.3 = pinion speed at pitch circle in m/sec, and 90 = initial temperature in oil sump in °C. These are the usual conditions, but they can be changed as required.
Specifications:
Results are reported in terms of the highest pass stage for the IP method or the first fail load stage, for the DIN Method.

Schmidt/Ethyl Tribo Tester Slideway Oil Test
Scope:
Method:
The method evaluates oil in respect of static friction and stick slip behaviour when used in machine slideway applications.
A slideway supporting a sliding block is lubricated with the test oil. The slideway is gradually inclined until the sliding block begins to move. The angle at which the block moves 20 µm is used to calculate the ‘Schmidt Coefficient of Friction’ which uses a calculation developed by the Hans Schmidt Tribology Laboratory for their original slideway test machine. The method uses two combinations of test materials: (a) Grey Cast Iron on Grey Cast Iron (b) SKC 3 plastic on Grey Cast Iron 300 run-in cycles are carried out with the SKC 3 plastic test and 400 with the Grey Cast Iron test. After completing the run-in, 10 test cycles are carried out to determine the ‘Schmidt Coefficient of Friction’ of the oil.
Results:

Timken Extreme-Pressure Test ASTM D2782 Scope:
Covers the determination of load-carrying capacity of lubricating fluids by means of the Timken Extreme-Pressure Tester.
Equipment:
The test uses the Timken Wear and Lubricant Testing Machine, in which a pivoted test block is applied to the periphery of a rotating cylinder (cup) in such a way that the pressure of application can be controlled.
Method:
The machine is operated with the steel cup rotating at 800 r/min. Two determinations are made: the minimum load that will rupture the lubricant film and cause scoring or seizure; and the maximum load (OK load) that will not rupture the lubricant film. Testing is initiated at an applied load of 30 lbs and increased in increments of 10 lbs until scoring occurs. The load is then reduced by 5 lbs to determine the final score load and OK load values. Each load stage is run for a 10 minute duration and the lubricant temperature is brought to 38°C at the start of each stage.
Specifications:
04/02
The method is widely used for specification purposes and is used to differentiate between lubricants having low, medium or high extreme-pressure characteristics. The results may not correlate with results from service.
