Season of Change for Gasoline Engine Oils

摘要

The seasons are changing and so,too,will the gasoline engine oils available in the marketplace.The American Petroleum Institute(API)has approved two new ILSAC engine oil performance standards,officially designated as ILSAC-6A and ILSAC-6B,in conjunction with a new API SP engine oil performance standard,and first licensing against these new standards will occur May 1.API developed these new performance standards in response to a request from automakers to introduce more robust engine oils capable of meeting the needs of current and future gasoline engines.API publishes all of these standards in API 1509,which is available free under the Document section on the API website,www.api.org/eolcs.
