Heavy-duty diesel engine lubricants are sufficiently different from the lubricants for gasoline and diesel light vehicles that they justify a separate section. The issues to be addressed here are ... 

European engine lubricant specifications were established by CCMC until ACEA was formed in 1991. ACEA issued new lubricant specifications in 1996 and aimed to update them every 2 years. ACEA 2008 is the most recent heavy-duty diesel engine lubricant specification. 

Typical properties of the three types of marine diesel engine lubricants are summarised in Table 13.6. The three types of engine lubricants have quite different performance requirements, summarised in Table 13.7.
