The United Kingdom Lubricant Association subsidiary VLS (Verification of Lubricant Specifications) warns that false and misleading claims about engine lubricant specifications could impact on the CV sector. The technical body says that new EU CO2 regulations, as well as ongoing tailpipe emissions requirements, are likely to conspire to create a similar situation to that which currently surrounds passenger car and light van engine lubricants. VLS exists in the UK as an independent organisation to provide credible and trusted means to verify lubricant specifications. Its remit extends to all lubricants, including transmission and industrial lubricants. It is supported by most of the UK's major lubricant marketers and blenders, and is chaired by Morris Lubricants.
