6. Insolubles content
Max. value : 1.5 % generally, depending upon
actual dispersant value and the
increase in viscosity
Unit : Weight %
Possible test
method
: ASTM D-893 procedure B in Hep-
tane, DIN 51592
Additionally
test
: If the level in n-Heptane insolubles is
considered high for the type of oil and

by a supplementary determination in
Toluene.
Total insolubles is maily derived from products of
