The Technical Association of the European Lubricants Industry, ATIEL, reminds engine oil marketers that the ACEA 2010 Sequence officially expires on Dec. 22, 2014, for all products – meaning that any lubricant formulations claiming to meet ACEA requirements which are marketed after that date must conform to the ACEA 2012 Sequence upgrade. In turn, ACEA 2012 will expire two years after the adoption of the ACEA 2014 Sequence, which is not yet finalized. For information, see www.acea.be/industry-topics/tag/category/lubricants.
