The relationships between the permanent and temporary viscosity losses were examined for 43 oils at 100 degree C and 150 degree C. High-shear-rate viscosities were measured at a shear rate of 10**6 s** - **1 in a capillary viscometer for new oils and used oils. New oils that had been subjected to 20 cycles in the fuel injector shear stability test were considered to be used oils in this program.
