This SAE Standard defines the limits for a classification of automotive gear lubricants in rheological terms only. Other lubricant characteristics are not considered.
Rationale:
The ASTM D2983 improved precision method was incorporated. Standard document review was completed and minor revisions made. Alternate methods to CEC Test Method CEC L-45-A-99 were considered but not added.
