The results of the tests conducted on this sample meet the SAE J300 specifications for the SAE Viscosity Grade listed on the product label, and are consistent with the listed API Service Category.
Note: Whereas the label on this product states "It is formulated to meet API current service classification SM for 2010 and older automotive engines." It does not display the API Donut certifying that it meets the performance requirements set by the API and subject to quality testing conducted by the API's Aftermarket Audit Program (AMAP). Although the results of the tests conducted on this sample are consistent with the API SM Service Category, this does not assure full compliance.

Note1: Although laboratory tests alone cannot be used to establish if engine oil meets an API Service Category, they can be used to determine if it doesn't. Note2: The specification for cold cranking viscosity includes only a maximum value; the minimum value shown in the “standard” area of the chart is truncated for illustrative purposes.
