Application Notes:
 

merit rating


is the arbitrary graduated numerical rating commonly used in evaluating engine deposit levels when testing the detergent-dispersant characteristics of an engine oil. On a scale of 10-0, the lower the number, the heavier the deposits. A less common method of evaluating engine cleanliness is demerit rating.

Also see engine deposits.
