This presentation discusses the assessment of phosphorus volatility in GF4 engine tests, emphasizing the importance of understanding absolute P levels, Ca levels, and loss of base oil volatiles. Recommendations for efficient data utilization are provided. Variations in ZDDP additives and their impact on P volatility and antiwear performance are highlighted based on recent OEM data.

Phosphorus Volatility inGF4 Engine Tests Presentation for ASTM ESCITMay 4, 2006
Phosphorus VolatilitySummary and Recommendations • Can be determined using conventional UOA • Sequence VIB appears to show “reasonable” scale • Possibilities for “multitasking” of a GF5 engine test to also yield measures of P volatility should be investigated • Analogous to IIIGA and T10A • Not as an extra P/F criterion • Goal is efficient utilization of data
Another Important Point • There are substantial differences among ZDDP additives, both for P volatility and for antiwear performances • Recent OEM data compare a “Conventional” ZDDP versus a “Low Impact” ZDDP • Meaning of these terms are unclear • May be relevant to a single additive supplier
