Evolution of the norms to 01/01/2003.
ACEA 2003 norms.
The meaning of the first letter has not changed, it still corresponds
to the type of engine:
The figure following the first letter corresponds to the type of oil:
- 3: high performance oils.
- 4: oils specifically for direct injection diesel engines.
- 5: very high performance oils permitting lower fuel consumption, specific to
direct injection diesel engines.
Example:
- ACEA A3: high performance oils specifically for petrol and dual fuel petrol/
LPG engines.
- ACEA A/B: blended oils giving very high performance for all engines, also
permitting better fuel economy, specifically for direct injection diesel engines.
NOTE: From 01/01/2003 there is no longer any reference to the year of
creation of the norm (example : ACEA A3/B3 98 becomes ACEA A3/B3).
