ACC Test Registration Begins 2Q 2009
GF-5 tests are made official
Once ASTM Test Acceptance occurs, the American Chemistry Council(ACC) will consider test registration.
An ILSAC GF-5 license and authorization to use the API Starburst is granted under the API Engine Oil Licensing and Certification System (API EOLCS) to Oil marketers whose applications are based on engine test results from ACC registered tests.
The most recent ILSAC/OIL timeline shows the first registered tests starting in 2009.
