Engine Manufacturers Release First Edition Engine Fluids Data Book

    CHICAGO--Sept. 27, 1999--The Engine Manufacturers Association (EMA) released its first edition of the EMA Engine Fluids Data Book in July. The book contains information on commercially available engine lubricating oils and coolants. The book is a comprehensive collection of performance data on lubricating oils meeting the latest API service category CH-4, as well as oils meeting the recently published EMA Recommended Guideline for oil LRG-1. New for this edition is the addition of a section on engine coolant specifications listing the various ASTM, SAE, military and OEM specifications.
    Fleet owners, maintenance personnel, local municipalities and private operators find this book a valuable resource when selecting engine fluids for their on-highway trucks and buses; off-highway construction, agricultural and industrial equipment; and locomotives and marine vessels.
    The book is compiled on behalf of the EMA members, and their distributors and customers worldwide. Over 100 companies from around the world supplied data on their products for this book. The trade names of the listed products and their performance levels are based on information received directly from the respective suppliers.
