ACEA A1/B1-10 Overview

ACEA A1/B1-10
Overview
ACEA A1/B1 oils are Mainline lubricants. They are designed for use in gasoline and light duty diesel engines that have been
specifically designed to use a low viscosity oil. ACEA A1/B1 oils are typically used in older vehicles as they do not provide the
minimum performance demanded by the latest OEM specifications. These oils may be unsuitable for use in some engines.
ACEA A1/B1 oils are typically low HTHS (3.5cP) SAE 5W-30 based on API Group III base oils. The main physical and chemical
requirements for ACEA A1/B1 are shown below:

The low HTHS (3.5cP) required by ACEA A1/B1 limits the number of additional performance claims that can be coupled with ACEA
A1/B1.
Prior to ACEA 2008, ACEA A1/B1 was usually coupled with the Ford specification, WSS-M2C913-B. However, a new edition of this
specification has been introduced by Ford which requires a higher minimum ACEA performance level of ACEA A5/B5-10. This will
further reduce the range of applications for which ACEA A1/B1-10 oils are suitable.
Changes
ACEA A1/B1 was first introduced into the ACEA Oil Sequences in 2004, however, it is based upon the original ACEA A1 and ACEA
B1 sequences that were introduced in 1996.
For ACEA 2010 a number of changes to the requirements for ACEA A1/B1 have been made which fundamentally change the
performance required to meet ACEA A1/B1-10. These include the inclusion of the VW TDI engine test, as a replacement for the VW
ICTD and the inclusion of the new OM646LA engine test, as a replacement for the OM602A, along with increases in sludge
handling.

The introduction of a minimum Total Base Number (TBN) of 8.0 mgKOH/g affects the number of ACEA sequences that can be
combined with ACEA A1/B1-08. Prior to ACEA 2010, depending upon the performance of the engine oil, it was possible to combine
ACEA A1/B1 with a number of other sequences including ACEA C1 and C2. However, as engine oils meeting the ACEA C
Sequences are formulated to a lower sulphated ash level they tend to deliver a TBN of less than 8.0 mgKOH/g. Therefore, with the
introduction of ACEA 2010 it is unlikely that engine oils meeting the ACEA C sequences will also be able to meet ACEA A1/B1.
The inclusion of the VW TDI engine test, which evaluates direct injection diesel piston cleanliness and ring sticking, changes ACEA
A1/B1 the most. Previously ACEA A1/B1 oils were only evaluated for diesel piston cleanliness and ring sticking in an indirect
injection engine test (VW ICTD). By introducing a requirement to provide a high level of protection for direct injection diesel engines
ACEA have significantly raised the diesel piston cleanliness performance demanded from ACEA A1/B1 oils. Some existing ACEA
A1/B1 engine oils will be unable to deliver this performance without being reformulated.
The limits for an acceptable level of sludge handling in the M111SL engine test have been raised to the highest level seen within
ACEA, with every sequence now required to provide the same level of performance. Some existing ACEA A1/B1 engine oils will be
unable to deliver this performance without being reformulated.
The inclusion of the new OM646LA engine test raises the diesel wear protection performance demanded from ACEA A1/B1 oils.
Relative Performance
The relative performance diagrams presented below compare Lubrizol's interpretation of the performance of requirements of the
existing ACEA 2007 A1/B1-04 oil sequence with the ACEA 2010 version. As shown, ACEA 2010 A1/B1-10 represents an upgrade in
piston cleanliness, wear protection and sludge handling.
ACEA A3/B4-10
Overview
ACEA A3/B4 oils are Upper Mainline lubricants. They are designed for a use in high performance gasoline and light duty diesel
engines and are typically used in newer vehicles as they provide the minimum performance demanded by many OEM
specifications.
ACEA A3/B4 oils are probably seen in the widest range of viscosity grades. The most common being:
SAE 10W-40 based on a mix of API Group I and Group III, or API Group II base oils.
SAE 5W-40 and SAE 5W-30 based on API Group III base oils.
SAE 0W-30 based on API Group IV base oils.

The low HTHS (3.5cP) and low sulphated ash (0.5%) required by ACEA C1 limits the number of additional performance claims
that can be coupled with ACEA C1. ACEA C1 is usually coupled with JASO DL-1.
At present there are no OEM performance claims that require an ACEA C1 level of performance.

ACEA E4-12 is usually coupled with Daimler MB-Approval 228.5 and MAN 3277, MTU Oil Category 3 and Deutz DQC IV-10.
Daimler, MAN, MTU and Deutz performance specifications build on top of an ACEA E4-12 baseline with additional performance
requirements in areas such as wear protection. Daimler MB-Approval 228.5 also specifies an ash level of 1.0-2% which prevents
low ash formulations from carrying the same approval.
Changes
ACEA E4 was first introduced into the ACEA Oil Sequences in 1998. Although the testing requirements for ACEA E4 have been
updated with each issue of the sequences it was not until 2008 that the severity was increased. This was due to the replacement of
older engine tests with new engine tests.
A number of further changes to the requirements for ACEA E4-12 have been included in the ACEA 2012 issue of the oil sequences.
