The Petroleum Quality Institute of America (PQIA) is an independent resource for information and insights on the quality of lubricants in the marketplace. Our mission is to serve the consumer of lubricants by randomly sampling and independently testing lubricants taken from the field. Test results are posted along with the brand names on the PQIA website. This webpage provides an analysis on the brand detailed below.
The following are the test results for the sample examined.
Distributed By: Texas Gold, Houston, TX
Purchased at: Houston, TX
Date of purchase: 2/26/2016
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 Categories.
Note: This oil is rated API SC/CC, which are obsolete specifications considered unsuitable for engines built after 1967. Consumers should always read the entire back label, where this products clearly warns about its limited use.
