Basestocks from the Group I or Group II classification used by the American Petroleum Institute (API) can readily meet these requirements with suitable detergent inhibitor (DI) and viscosity index improver (VII) systems. VIA) which is tiered according to viscosity grade: 1.4% minimum for SAE 5W-20, 1.1% minimum for SAE 5W-30 and 0.5% minimum for SAE 10W-30. GF-2 also requires a minimum level of fuel economy versus a reference oil (BC-2) in a standard engine test (Seq. Under current GF-2 American Petroleum Institute (API) classification standards for PCMOs, SAE 5W-20, 5W-30 or 10W-30 oils must have volatilities as measured by gas chromatography distillation (GCD) of no more than 17%, or Noack volatilities of no more than 22%.
