  **To commence in 2026**

ASTM D-2272 (for hydraulic oil and turbine oil)

• The test measures how long an oil can resist oxidation in an accelerated, high-stress environment, which is a key indicator of its remaining useful life.

ASTM D-943 (for hydraulic oil and turbine oil)

• Test that evaluate the oxidation stability of lubricants that are prone to water contamination
  

CEC-L-48-(A and B; for gear oil, ATF, dexron VI, transmission fluids)

• To evaluate the lubricant's resistance to oil degradation and sludge formation over time

ASTM D-2070 (for hydraulic oil and turbine oil)

• Assesses sludge formation, viscosity shifts, and metal discoloration to gauge the oil's resistance to thermal breakdown and its reliability in hydraulic systems.

ASTM D-4310 (for hydraulic oil and turbine oil)

• The test evaluates the stability of inhibited mineral oils used as steam turbine lubricants and anti-wear hydraulic oils

ASTM D-2893 (for industrial gear oil)

• The test assesses how the oil degrades under controlled oxidative conditions, which can lead to the formation of sludge and an increase in acidity.
