Here you go !

You should maybe read about things before you jump in and make asinine comments.

ASTM standard change in 2005

excerpt from the above link

High sulfur No. 1 diesel fuels have been used for many years including years before the introduction of the low sulfur fuels in 1993. It always was understood that they had lower lubricity and as such, equipment on engines requiring this grade of diesel fuel were designed for lower lubricity fuels.

excerpt from above link

Start with a minimum requirement that has everybody's endorsement as being necessary, but perhaps not everybody's agreement as being sufficient. Such level would be a big step forward from where we are currently which is having no requirement at all. Continue work as a group to generate additional supporting data to adjust the requirement if necessary.


Why don't you just search for yourself.
Here is a good place to start.
