The development of an improved Reciprocating Viscometer for use in predicting low temperature cranking characteristics of engine oils is described. Correlations between full-scale engine viscosities and viscosities determined using the Reciprocating Viscometer are included along with repeatability and reproducibility data obtained at 0 F and -20 F in an ASTM round-robin evaluation. Results show that this viscometer can predict the low temperature cranking characteristics of engine oils.
