1. Higher temperatures produce
greater volatility (evaporation).
2. Increased volatility causes increased oil consumption and
emissions.
3. Oil is first heated to 250° C for a period of 60 minutes.
4. Air is drawn through the container holding the oil sample
to remove vapor.
5. After 60 minutes, the remaining oil volume is weighed. 6. Comparison to initial oil weight. 7. A lower weight loss score indicates better
performance.

Shear Stability (ASTM D-6278)
1. Oil's initial viscosity is measured.
2. Oil is tested under shearing forces.
3. Measurements are taken at the end of 15, 30 and 90
cycles.
4. Comparison to initial oil viscosity.
5. A flatter line indicates a better shear stability.
