show an engine's Air Index level. A lower Air Index level represents cleaner
exhaust from an engine.
The period of time (in hours) that the Air Index level is measured is known as
the durability period. Depending on the size of the engine, a selection of time
periods can be used to measure the Air Index level (see below).
