This method, offered by Intertek Automotive Research, compares the performance of a test lubricant to the performance of a baseline lubricant over five different stages of operation.
A 1993 Ford 4.6L spark ignition, V-8 cylinder design,4-cycle engine is used as the test apparatus. The engine incorporates overhead camshafts, a cross-flow, fast-burn cylinder head design, two valves per cylinder, and an electronic port fuel injection.
The Sequence VIBSJ test incorporates a flush and run type procedure. Each test consists of two 5-stage fuel economy measurements on baseline oil (BC) and test oil. The test oil is aged during 16 hours of engine operation at 1500 r/min and 125°C oil temperature. The fuel economy measurements taken on the baseline oil (BC) and test oil are used to calculate a final value for Fuel Economy Improvement.
