API classification
API · SAE · EOLCSThe API classification has been made by the AMERICAN PETROLEUM INSTITUTE (API), ENGINE OIL LICENSING AND CERTIFICATION SYSTEM (EOLCS).
Engine oil guide
Performance level
API S: oils specifically designed for gasoline engines (such as passenger cars and light vans) are classified under the API classification “S” (Service). API C: oils specifically designed for diesel engines (such as trucks or diesel engines under the most severe conditions) are classified under the API classification “C” (Commercial). Exact descriptions of the current and obsolete API classes can be found in the charts for gasoline and diesel engines.
Viscosity grade
A measure of viscosity and fluidity at certain temperatures. Vehicle requirements may vary. Manufacturer recommendations, according to the prescribed SAE viscosity grade, must be observed.
Resource Conserving and Energy Conserving
The terms “Resource Conserving” (RC) and “Energy Conserving” (EC) apply to vehicles with gasoline engines in cars and light vans.
Multiple performance levels
Lubricants developed for diesel engines may also be suitable for gasoline engines. For these oils the designation is the “C” classification first, followed by the “S” classification. Classification “C” oils have been formulated primarily for diesel engines and may not provide all of the performance requirements consistent with vehicle manufacturers’ recommendations for gasoline-fuelled engines.
SAE viscosity grades for passenger car engine oils
| If lowest expected outdoor temperature is | Typical SAE viscosity grades for cars |
|---|---|
| 0 °C (32 °F) | 0W-200W-305W-205W-3010W-3010W-4020W-50 |
| −18 °C (0 °F) | 0W-200W-305W-205W-3010W-3010W-40 |
| Below −18 °C (0 °F) | 0W-200W-305W-205W-30 |
API S for gasoline engines in passenger cars
| SNCurrent | Introduced in 2010, designed to provide improved high temperature deposit protection for pistons, more stringent sludge control, and seal compatibility. API SN with “Resource Conserving” (RC) matches ILSAC GF-5 by combining API SN performance with improved fuel economy, turbocharger protection and emission control system compatibility. In addition, these oils provide good protection for engines that use ethanol-containing fuels up to E85. |
| SMCurrent | For 2010 and older automotive engines. |
| SLCurrent | For 2004 and older automotive engines. |
| SJCurrent | For 2001 and older automotive engines. |
| SHObsolete | For 1996 and older automotive engines. |
| SGObsolete | CAUTION: not suitable for use in most gasoline-powered automotive engines built after 1993. May not provide adequate protection against build-up of engine sludge. |
| SFObsolete | CAUTION: not suitable for use in most gasoline-powered automotive engines built after 1988. May not provide adequate protection against build-up of engine sludge. |
| SEObsolete | CAUTION: not suitable for use in gasoline-powered automotive engines built after 1979. |

API C for diesel engines (commercial classification)
| FA-4Current | Describes certain xW-30 oils specifically formulated for use in selected high-speed 4-stroke diesel engines. API FA-4 oils are formulated in an HTHS range of 2.9 to 3.2 mPa·s to support the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions and to meet the corresponding limits as of model year 2017. These oils are particularly effective in the permanent maintenance of emission control systems where particulate filters and other modern exhaust aftertreatment systems are used. API FA-4 oils are not backward compatible with API CK-4, CJ-4, CI-4 PLUS, CI-4 and CH-4 oils. Refer to engine manufacturer recommendations to determine if API FA-4 oils are suitable for use. API FA-4 oils are not recommended for use with fuels having greater than 15 ppm sulfur. For fuels with sulfur contents greater than 15 ppm, refer to engine manufacturer recommendations. |
| CK-4Current | Describes oils for use in high-speed 4-stroke cycle diesel engines designed to meet 2017 model year on-highway and Tier 4 non-road exhaust emission standards as well as for previous model year diesel engines. These oils are formulated for use in all applications with diesel fuels ranging in sulfur content up to 500 ppm. However, the use of these oils with greater than 15 ppm sulfur fuel may impact exhaust aftertreatment system durability and/or oil drain interval. API CK-4 oils are especially effective at sustaining emission control system durability where particulate filters and other advanced aftertreatment systems are used. In addition, these oils exceed the performance criteria of API CJ-4, CI-4 PLUS, CI-4 and CH-4 and provide good lubricity of engines requiring these API service categories. When using CK-4 oil with higher than 15 ppm sulfur fuel, consult the engine manufacturer for service interval recommendations. |
| CJ-4Current | For high-speed 4-stroke cycle diesel engines designed to meet 2010 model year on-highway and Tier 4 non-road exhaust emission standards as well as for previous model year diesel engines. These oils are formulated for use in all applications with diesel fuels ranging in sulfur content up to 500 ppm (0.05% by weight). However, the use of these oils with greater than 15 ppm (0.0015% by weight) sulfur fuel may impact exhaust aftertreatment system durability and/or drain interval. CJ-4 oils are especially effective at sustaining emission control system durability where particulate filters and other advanced aftertreatment systems are used. API CJ-4 oils exceed the performance criteria of API CI-4 PLUS, CI-4, CH-4, CG-4 and CF-4 and also provide very good lubricity for engines that require these API service categories. When using CJ-4 oil with higher than 15 ppm sulfur fuel, consult the engine manufacturer for service interval. |
| CI-4Current | Introduced in 2002. For high-speed 4-stroke diesel engines that meet the 2004 emissions standard. CI-4 oils have been developed to ensure engine durability when using exhaust gas recirculation (EGR). Furthermore, they are suitable for the use of diesel fuels with sulfur content up to 0.5%. They can be used instead of API CD, CE, CF-4, CG-4 and CH-4 oils. Some CI-4 oils are also suitable for the CI-4 PLUS specification. |
| CH-4Current | Introduced in 1998. For high-speed 4-stroke diesel engines designed to meet 1998 exhaust emission standards. CH-4 oils are specifically compounded for use with diesel fuels ranging in sulfur content up to 0.5% weight. Can be used in place of CD, CE, CF-4 and CG-4 oils. |
| CG-4Obsolete | Introduced in 1995. For severe duty, high-speed 4-stroke diesel engines using fuel with less than 0.5% weight sulfur. CG-4 oils are required for engines meeting 1994 emission standards. Can be used in place of CD, CE and CF-4 oils. |
| CF-4Obsolete | Introduced in 1990. For high-speed 4-stroke diesel engines, naturally aspirated and turbocharged engines. Can be used in place of CD and CE oils. |
| CF-2Current | Introduced in 1994. For severe duty, 2-stroke cycle engines. Can be used in place of CD-II oils. |
| CFCurrent | Introduced in 1994. For off-road, indirect-injected and other diesel engines including those using fuel with over 0.5% weight sulfur. Can be used in place of CD oils. |
| CEObsolete | CAUTION: not suitable for use in diesel-powered engines built after 1994. |
