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
