New ILSAC GF-5 is scheduled to be introduced during the 3rd quarter of 2010 and will supersede ILSAC GF-4 and previous categories. It will also be backward compatible and will provide improved performance relative to GF-4 in many respects. At the same time, when GF-5 is introduced, it is anticipated that API SN will also be introduced as a new performance category to supersede the current category, API SM.展开更多
