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 specifications for flash point and viscosity @ 100°C include only minimum values; the maximum values shown in the “standard” area of the chart are truncated for illustrative purposes.
