Number 22 2004 GUIDELINES FOR DIESEL ENGINES LUBRICATION OIL DEGRADATION The International Council on Combustion Engines Conseil International des Machines à Combustion CONSEIL INTERNATIONAL INTERNATIONAL COUNCIL DES MACHINES A COMBUSTION ON COMBUSTION ENGINES CIMAC is an international organisation, founded in 1950 by a French initiative to promote technical and scientific knowledge in the field of internal combustion engines (piston engines and gas turbines). This is achieved by the organisation of congresses and working groups. It is supported by engine manufacturers, engine users, technical universitites, research institutes, component suppliers, fuel and lubricating oil suppliers and several other interested parties. The National Member Associations and previous CIMAC Recommendations still available are listed in the back of this publication. This document has been elaborated by the CIMAC Working Group „Marine Lubricants“ and approved by CIMAC in April 2004. Foreward by the President The CIMAC Recommendations are produced by the CIMAC Working Groups in which experts in the various fields of combustion engines, contribute voluntarily, to formulate the related documents. The CIMAC Recommendations serve not only to consolidate the knowledge and expertise in a particular field, but are also aimed to be of practical importance for engine users, manufacturers and related equipment suppliers. The present Recommendations on “Guidelines for Diesel Engine Lubrication- Lubricating Oil Degradation” is targeted to all people related to large engines in marine propulsion, land-based power generation and railroad industry. This Recommendation is one further product of the CIMAC Working Group No. 8. “Lubricants”, which can boast a very wide participation of experts from CIMAC Members and has been very fruitful in producing Recommendations over the past years. I wish to congratulate the Working Group No. 8 “Lubricants” for this fine document, which I trust will be useful for the combustion engine community all over the world. Prof. Nikolaos P. Kyrtatos April 2004 GUIDELINES FOR DIESEL ENGINE LUBRICATION LUBRICATING OIL DEGRADATION 1
