Classification of Energy Conserving and Resource Conserving Engine Oil for Passenger Cars, Vans, Sport Utility Vehicles, and Light-Duty Trucks
J1423_202111
This SAE Recommended Practice was developed cooperatively by SAE, ASTM, and API to define and identify energy conserving or resource conserving engine oils for passenger cars, vans, sport utility vehicles, and light-duty (3856 kg [8500 pounds] GVW or less) trucks.
Rationale:
This revision to this SAE Recommended Practice is necessary after the introduction of ILSAC GF-6A, GF-6B, and API SP categories to include the API SP Resource Conserving and the use of the ASTM Sequence VIE and Sequence VIF test procedures.
