    The document outlines new ASTM standards for measuring varnish potential in lubricating oils. It describes two scales - the MPC DESCALE and ANALYSTS INC QSA® SCALE - that are used to monitor varnish levels and classify them as normal, monitor, abnormal, or critical based on measured values. The document notes that varnish problems have been observed in lubricating oils falling within the "monitor" range of both scales.
