Abstract
The correlation of extensive engine cranking data obtained by the Coordinating Research Council (CRC) with equally extensive viscometric data obtained by ASTM has shown that the low-temperature cranking characteristics of engine oils can be predicted by two high shear viscometers, the Ferranti-Shirley and the Forced-Ball (corrected for gel viscosity). The data collected also show that the extrapolated kinematic viscosity of multigraded engine oils has little or no value in predicting the low-temperature cranking characteristics of such oils. The abilities of other viscometers to correlate with the engine cranking data are also considered.
