in the exhaust emissions of diesel engines; and (c) Meets the standards set forth in the latest version of ISO 22241, “Diesel engines-NOx

reduction agent AUS 32” of the International Organization for Standardization. 6. “ Grade ” means: (a) “Regular,” “midgrade,” “plus,” “super,” “premium” or words of similar meaning

when describing a grade designation for gasoline. (b) “Diesel” or words of similar meaning, including, without limitation, any specific

type of diesel, when describing a grade designation for diesel motor fuel. (c) “M-85,” “M-100,” “E-85,” “E-100” or words of similar meaning when describing a

grade designation for alternative fuel. (d) “Propane,” “liquefied petroleum gas,” “compressed natural gas,” “liquefied natural

gas” or words of similar meaning when describing pressurized gases. 7. “ Motor vehicle fuel ” means a petroleum product or alternative fuel used for internal combustion engines

in motor vehicles. The term does not include motor vehicle fuel additives. 8. “ Performance rating ” means the system adopted by the American Petroleum Institute for the classification

of uses for which an oil is designed. 9. “ Petroleum heating product ” means a petroleum product that is used for heating purposes. The term does not include petroleum heating product additives. 10. “ Petroleum products ” means gasoline, diesel fuel, burner fuel kerosene, lubricating oil, motor oil or

any product represented as motor oil or lubricating oil. The term does not include liquefied petroleum gas, natural gas or motor oil additives. 11. “ Pure water ” means water that is: (a) Very low in inorganic, organic or colloidal contaminants; and (b) Produced by a process such as: (1) Single distillation; (2) Deionization; (3) Ultra-filtration; or (4) Reverse osmosis. 12. “ Recycled oil ” means a petroleum product which is prepared from used motor oil or used lubricating

oil. The term includes rerefined oil. 13. “ Rerefined oil ” means used oil which is refined after its previous use to remove from the oil any

contaminants acquired during the previous use. 14. “ Technically pure urea ” means urea that is: (a) An industrially produced grade of urea with traces of biuret, ammonia and water

agents; and (c) Free of contaminants, including, without limitation, sulphur and its compounds,

chloride and nitrate. 15. “ Used oil ” means any oil which has been refined from crude or synthetic oil and, as a result

of use, has become unsuitable for its original purpose because of a loss of its original

properties or the presence of impurities, but which may be suitable for another use

or economically recycled. 16. “ Viscosity grade classification ” means the measure of an oil's resistance to flow at a given temperature according

to the grade classification system of the Society of Automotive Engineers or other

grade classification.
