Sequence IIIGA Engine Test
(ASTM D7320)
Specifications
• API SM/SN
• ILSAC GF-4/GF-5
Objective
• Evaluate the cold-temperature viscosity performance of
an end-of-test lubricant sample.
Field Service Simulated
• High-speed service under relatively high
ambient conditions.
Test Fixture
• 1996/1997 3.8 L Series II General Motors V6 fuel-injected
gasoline engine.
D019076
Test Parameters
• Using unleaded gasoline, the engine runs a 10-minute
initial lubricant leveling procedure followed by a 15-minute
slow ramp-up to speed and load conditions.
• The engine then operates at 94 kW, 3600 rpm, and
150°C lubricant temperature for 100 hours, interrupted at
20-hour intervals for lubricant level checks.
Test Parts Evaluation
• None.
Used Lubricant Analysis
• Apparent viscosity (ASTM D4684)
• Cold cranking simulator (ASTM D5293)
