sulphated ash

also called ash content

The mass of incombustible ash the oil leaves behind, as a percentage — the low-SAPS fact the ACEA C-sequences are built on and the reason a vehicle with a particulate filter may not take an ordinary oil. Published as `Ash, Sulphated | ASTM D874 | % wt` on Castrol GTX 20W-50 (0.8), Magnatec 5W-30 (1.1) and GTX Diesel 15W-40 (1.35), and as `Sulphated Ash | % m/m | ASTM D874 | 1.52` on TotalEnergies Rubia S 40. It is a lubricant fact and not an engine-oil-class fact: it is meaningful for any crankcase or gear oil, which is why it homes here and does not earn a class. Reuses the LIVE `PercentUnits` minted at b153 — no new unit machinery. Concern measurement.
