Lubricant formulation guide :
1. Additives
2. Lube base oil 80-90 %

Lube base divided into 5 parts :
1. Group 1
     VI ( Viscosity Index = the lower the VI, the larger a change in viscosity with
      temp. changes ) = 80-120, component Lube base > 90 %, Sulfur <>
 
2. Group 2
     VI = 80-120, component Lube base oil > 90 %, Sulfur <>
 
3. Group 3
     VI > 120, component Lube base oil > 90 %, sulfur <>
 
4. Group 4
    PAO ( Poly Alpha Olefin ), Lube base oil mostly used for car race.
    PAO hasve had superior performance characterictic such as Viscosity Index
    ( VI ), Pour Point,
    Volatility and Oxidation stability that it could not be achieved by convention
    mineral oil. With modern base oil manufacturing, VI, Pour Point, Volatility &
    Oxidation stability all can be independently controlled.
 
5. Group 5
    Exlude Group I - IV.
    
    Notes : Group I & II as conventional based oil.
    Group III-V as synthetic based oil.
