The Afton Specification Handbook is a key industry reference for lubricant specs, featuring significant 2022 updates including the ACEA 2022 HDEO sequences and new On-Road HDEO guidelines. These current specifications and detailed data sheets for PCMO and HDEO are accessible via the official Afton Chemical website and resources.

If your link downloads a file with "2020" or "2021" in the footer, you have the wrong version. ACEA 2022 oils require different sulfated ash limits; using the 2021 handbook for a 2022 formulation will fail engine tests.
Perhaps the most forward-looking aspect of the 2022 edition is its approach to the changing vehicle parc (the total stock of vehicles on the road). While the industry accelerates toward electrification, the internal combustion engine (ICE) remains dominant in the medium term, particularly in heavy-duty transport and developing markets. The handbook addresses this by providing specifications for hybrid-compatible lubricants and fuels that protect engines operating under new, often more stressful, driving cycles (such as frequent start-stop systems).
