ACEA Oil Sequences, Cat. X/Y

Non-competition relevant

ACEA Specification

The ACEA Sequences only contain requirements considered to be non-competition relevant. Individual and competition relevant requirements can be

d i bi ti ith th ACEA S ( t f th t) OEM iused in combination with the ACEA Sequences (or part of that) as OEM own in-house specifications.ACEA WG.FL, LD sub-group

3. ACEA‘s view of the CEC system

Strong Points of the CEC System

- Extremely well organized, very effective managementstructure

- Usually quick decision process on board level- Only one decision making level- Easy to use webside – excellent work of the secretariatEasy to use webside excellent work of the secretariat

- Excellent quality control- Expertise of all industry forces (oil-, additive & auto

industry)industry)- (long term) availability of reference fluids- Continuous test monitoring by Surveillance Groups

3. ACEA‘s view of the CEC system

Weak Points of the CEC System

- Difficult to find acceptance for requirements as preventative measures / ACEA don‘t want to wait for field failures

- Development process in some cases too slowp p- Many participants in TDGs: decisions therefore often difficult- More initiative of leading lab needed- Only little flexibility once ToRs are definedy y- Acceptance and differentiation of additional test parameters

i.e. for OM646 wear test - control parameter, killer limits, ..- Quality control (QI) in some labs- No groups for pre-development of test procedures

Difficult process, but resulting tests are of very high & reliable standardACEA WG.FL, LD sub-group

3. ACEA‘s view of the CEC system

Future Difficulties to overcome

- Engine availability

- Shorter hardware lifetimeShorter hardware lifetime

- Shortages of hardware parts and fluids

- Higher number of different tests needed

- More diverging needs from different OEMs

- Increasing impact of (bio)fuels and fuel dilution

4. Future Requirements from ACEA

Wider availability of ACEA oilsEuropean Auto Manufacturers face the following situation in developing markets:

…on the engine technology sideg gy

- Latest engine technology requested by nearly every market

- Modern Diesel engines needed in developing markets

- Latest emission control system requested in several

d l i k tdeveloping markets

- Many Markets ask for longer drain intervals

4. Future Requirements from ACEA

Wider availability of ACEA oilsEuropean Auto Manufacturers face the following situation in developing markets:

…on the engine oil sideg

- today these engine oil markets dominated by very basic

and/or obsolete oil qualities

- engine oils with light duty Diesel performance are missing

l f l liti- low fuel qualities

- no/nearly no ACEA oils available

4. Future Requirements from ACEA

Wider availability of ACEA oilsEuropean Auto Manufacturers need better engine oil qualities in non-European and developing markets:

- Engine oil qualities no longer suitable for modern engines

should disappear

- Engine oils according to ACEA specifications needed

hi h k t t ti- high market penetration

- recent ACEA categories, not obsolete categories

Resumee

The CEC system is highly valued byACEAACEA

- The development of the „new CEC“ has resulted in a much

more effective system

- Due to the many strengths of CEC ACEA stays committed

to CEC to CEC

- CEC test procedures remain ACEA`s first choice for the

engine oil sequencesg q

- OEMs continue to use CEC tests for their inhouse specifications

- ACEA already plans to develop many new tests with CEC to

meet future requirementsACEA WG.FL, LD sub-group
