ACEA 2022 Heavy-Duty Engine Oil Sequences: One Year On

May 1, 2023

Times are changing! From May 1, 2023, no new marketing claims are allowed against ACEA 2016, and from May 1,  2024, no further marketing of oils to ACEA 2016 claims is allowed at all. All formulations making performance claims must meet ACEA 2022 requirements. 

ACEA E8 is a new category which brings an increased focus to enhanced piston cleanliness, with the introduction of the OM471 test, alongside oxidation and aeration performance with the inclusion of established ASTM engine tests (Volvo T-13 and Caterpillar COAT) developed for API CK-4, which also feature in the new ACEA E11 category.

ACEA E4 and ACEA E7 remain to serve the requirement of legacy engines, with changes made to piston cleanliness test options in both.
