The information in this SAE Recommended Practice has been compiled by Technical Committee 1 (Engine Lubricants) of the SAE Fuels and Lubricants Division. The intent is to provide those concerned with the design and maintenance of two-stroke-cycle engines with a better understanding of the properties of two-stroke-cycle lubricants. Reference is also made to test procedures which may be used to measure the chemical and physical characteristics of these lubricants.

This SAE Standard describes lubricating oils meeting the physical, chemical and performance requirements of American Petroleum Institute (API) performance categories CF and CF-2, CI-4, supplement CI-4 PLUS, and SAE J300. These oils are suitable for the lubrication of wheeled vehicles with compression-ignition (diesel) engines. This document supersedes the military’s Commercial Item Description (CID) A-A-52306.

This SAE Standard describes lubricating oils meeting the API performance categories CF, CF-2, and CG-4, and the SAE J300. These oils are suitable for the lubrication of wheeled vehicles with compression-ignition (diesel) engines. This document is equivalent to the military’s Commercial Item Description A-A-52306 when all requirements are met.

This SAE Standard covers military engine oils suitable for preservation, break-in, and lubrication of reciprocating internal combustion engines of both spark-ignition and compression-ignition types and of power transmission fluid applications in equipment used in combat/tactical service (see 7.1). This document is equivalent to MIL-L-21260 when all requirements are met.

This SAE Standard outlines the engine oil performance categories and classifications developed through the efforts of the Alliance of Automobile Manufacturers (Alliance), American Petroleum Institute (API), the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM), the Engine Manufacturers Association (EMA), the International Lubricant Specification Advisory Committee (ILSAC), and SAE. The verbal descriptions by API and ASTM, along with prescribed test methods and limits, are shown for active categories in Table 1 and obsolete categories in Table A1. Appendix A is thus a historical documentation of the obsolete categories.

This SAE Standard outlines the engine oil performance categories and classifications developed through the efforts of the American Petroleum Institute (API), the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM), American Automobile Manufacturers Association (AAMA), the Engine Manufacturers Association (EMA), International Lubricant Standardization and Approval Committee (ILSAC), and SAE. The descriptions by API and ASTM, along with prescribed test methods and limits, are shown for active categories in Table 1 and obsolete categories in Table A1. Following Table A1 is a historical documentation of the obsolete categories. For purposes of this document, active categories are defined as those (a) for which the required test equipment and test support materials, including reference engine oils and reference fuels, are readily available, (b) for which ASTM or the test developer monitors precision for all tests, and (c) which are currently available for licensing by API EOLCS.
