    Are you API SP Ready?

    The two new ILSAC specifications, GF-6A and GF-6B, and a new API Service Category, API SP have been introduced representing the next generation of PCMO engine oils. See more information here.

    These specifications are designed to:

    • Prevent Wear
    • Protect against LSPI and Timing Chain wear
    • Ensure proper operation
    • Improve fuel economy

    See this video link from API for more information on GF-6.

    These specifications introduce new advanced performance requirements for PCMO applications. This includes seven new tests, including a chain wear test and a new test for ultra-low viscosity engine oils. The standards also include the new low speed pre-ignition (LSPI) test to ensure protection.
