PERFORMANCE LEVELS 

For an engine oil to be of good quality, it has to pass a series of tests and be 

up-to-date with the latest performance levels. Engine oil performance levels are 

determined by independent organisations like API and ACEA. These organisations 

constantly work on creating a classification system for the oils, to help indicate 

which oils meet industry standards. On top of this, Original Equipment 

Manufacturers (OEM) also conduct tests to make sure that the oil not only meets 

industry standards but also satisfy the requirements set by governments, for 

limiting emissions. 



THE MOST IMPORTANT 

LUBRICANT SPECIFICATIONS 

Given the emission regulations set by governments and the complexity of new 

engines built by car manufacturers, knowing which engine oil to use can be 

difficult. This is where oil specifications and OEM recommendations make a world 

of difference. 

Specifications are important as they indicate the performance level of the oil. For 

passenger cars, the two specifications that are widely accepted as the industry 

standards are API and ACEA. 

API 

The American Petroleum Institute (API) is the only national trade association 

that represents all aspects of America’s oil and natural gas industry. Amongst 

all the activities of API, one of them is to make lubricant specifications. There 

are two categories: “S” for petrol (S stands for “service/spark ignition”), “C” for 

Diesel (C stands for “commercial/compression ignition”). Traditionally, in the 

American market, petrol engines are mainly for passenger cars whereas diesel 

engines are for heavy duty applications, but most oils carry both petrol and diesel 

specifications. The current specification for passenger cars according to the API 

are: API SN, SM, SL and SJ. The higher the letter after the S or C, the more recent 

the technology of the oil. For recent oil, the higher specification will supersede 

the lower letter grade. For example, an oil with SN as a specification can also be 

used for vehicles which request an API SM, SL and SJ; it is backward compatible. 

The current specifications according to the API are SN/CF, SM/CF and 

SL/CF for passenger car and CK-4, CJ-4, CI-4 and CH-4 for 

commercial vehicles. 


OEM 

Most Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEM) have their own set of specifications for engine oil 

which may meet or exceed both ACEA and API specifications. This is because of the increasing 

demand for car manufacturers to meet environmental regulations set by governments. This has led to 

the complex design and configuration that is seen on modern engines. An engine oil must therefore 

pass several OEM tests in order to prove that it meets the required OEM specifications. OEM’s which 

are setting the standard in the PCMO segment are Mercedes-Benz, Volkswagen and BMW. 

ACEA 

Association des Constructeurs Européens d’Automobiles (ACEA), also known as the European 

Automobile Manufacturers’ Association, is the European equivalent of API (US). ACEA does neither 

of the following: certify, license, register, nor issue compliance certificates, where each sequence has 

an expiration date for marketing. 

ACEA is more specific in what the performance of the oil actually is. A = Petrol, B = Diesel and C = 

Catalyst compatible or low/mid SAPS (Sulphated Ash, Phosphorus and Sulphur). There are different 

ACEA sequences; 2008, 2010, 2012 and 2016. Where each sequence has a validity data for 

marketing. 2016 is the latest sequence but the 2012 sequence is still valid 

until December 2018. Unlike API, ACEA specifications 

are split into performance/ application 

categories.

HOW TO CHOOSE 

THE RIGHT OIL 

Check our Oil Advisor app on 

www.rymax-lubricants.com or: 

Choosing the right oil is not as simple as it used to be. There are many aspects 

that need to be taken into account. For instance, the weather conditions have a big 

influence on the type of oil that is needed for an engine to run properly. On top of this, 

regulations regarding emissions differ per country, and therefore, oblige for different 

products to be used. Keeping up with all this information and technical know-how can 

be a daunting task. For this reason, we have developed the Online Oil Advisor app to 

help with choosing the right oil. 

ONLINE OIL ADVISOR 

The oil advisor app is easy to use. Find the right lubricant by simply 

selecting the brand, model and vehicle type, in the app, in the fields 

provided. Once the information is submitted, you will be presented 

with a number of options, advising you on the correct lubricant.
