a- Standards, shown in black are established by API, SAE and others. Ranges, shown in teal, represent the high and low data for the 13 major brands of API SN ILSAC GF-5 tested in September 2011.

b-Test Method used for metal analysis is ASTM ASTM D5185.

c- ASTM D5185-09 Reproducibility by Element.

d- Original result of 6,646, recheck is 6,619. These results are slightly higher than API's maximum of 6,600 but fall well within the API "Expanded Range" of 7,082, which takes into account test reproducability.
