Using 434-2 only, IIIHA mean is lower than IIIGA by 0.1151 so the IIIGA Equivalent SN Limit in IIIHA is

10.8870 (53476)

Using 434 blends, IIIHA mean is higher than IIIGA by 0.3396 so the IIIGA Equivalent SN Limit in IIIHA is

By regressing IIIHA MRV Viscosity Severity Adjusted results against IIIGA targets, determine the corresponding result for LnMRV of 11.0021 (60000), the IIIGA SN Limit. 11

Using 434 and 438 blends, extrapolation from linear equation suggests IIIGA Equivalent SN Limit in IIIHA is

10.8119 (49609)

17

IIIGB PHOS Equivalent Limit in IIIHB using 434-2 and 438-1

By regressing IIIHB PHOS Severity Adjusted results against IIIGB Targets, determine the corresponding result for a PHOS of 79, the IIIG SN Limit. 18

25

IIIHB PHOS Oil 434-2

27

IIIHB PHOS Oil 438-1

To allow 438-1 to pass 38% of the time, the IIIGB Equivalent Limit in the IIIHB should be 79.

Comments• Please note that the IIIH with Chemistry B and Base oil W only

made it to 79 hours before it had to be shut down.

• In spite of 2 of the IIIH runs on Chemistry A failing, I think overall the Relationship between IIIG and IIIH there is fairly close.

• The work with Chemistry B, however shows a marked deviation from the first set of data and from the precision matrix work.

If this is the only chemistry with an issue it is probably something we will just have to live with.

If, however; it is not an anomaly I am concerned with using IIIH as a substitute for the IIIG.
