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) Pass/Fail Criteria Parameter Pass Limit MRV @ EOT 60,000 cP maximum (original grade or next highest) Yield stress <35 Pa We welcome your inquiries.
