3. Membership – open to all PCEOCP members
5 additive suppliers, 3 lube suppliers, 2 OEMs, 2 ind. labs
ILSAC, ACC, API, PCEOCP and TMC are all represented

4. Meeting and Balloting Follow ASTM rules for conducting the meeting
Industry liaisons
PCEOCP-Thom Smith and Glen Mazzamaro
ILSAC – Jim Linden
ACC – Jerry Wang
API – Kevin Ferrick and David Smith
TMC – John Zalar
Records posted on the TMC website
Generally follow ASTM voting rules but limited to one vote per company
Attempt unanimous consensus
PCEOCP will have the final vote based on its rules

6. Timeline GF-5 timeline Proposed subgroup timeline
Timeline is affected by the group’s ability to get key inputs

7. Scope – Matrix Design
The primary goal is to establish VID test precision
Repeatability and reproducibility based on fully formulated reference oils representative of current technology such as GF-4 capable or GF-5 prototype
The secondary goal is to establish base oil interchange and viscosity grade readacross guidelines
The group will continue to monitor Precision Matrix Program until completed

8. Scope - Funding
The primary purpose is to recommend minimum funding needs for proposed matrix options to ILSAC/Oil
The funding recommendation will include sources and breakdown of funding

9. Key Inputs – Matrix Design
Final test procedure and demonstrated discrimination
number of matrix oils
suggested requirements: GF-5 demonstration oil, GF-4 certification oil, current technology oil(s) that show discrimination
Inquire API BOI/VGRA for oils
For precision matrix only, there needs be only 1 viscosity grade
number of participating labs and stands (min. 2 labs and 3 stands)
Engine age effect
BOI option
Parameters?
VGRA option

10. Key Outputs – Matrix Design
Matrix options
Precision
+ BOI
+ VGRA
+ BOI and VGRA

11. Key Inputs – Funding Minimum number of tests to meet primary goals
Number of tests desired to address other goals
- list goals and number of tests needed for each individual goal
Cost per test from labs including the decision on how many reference runs for stand calibration
Number of participating labs and stands
Reference oil supplies

12. Key Outputs – Funding Funding estimate for each matrix options
Precision only
+ BOI
+ VGRA
+ BOI and VGRA
