 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”) and “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.

BRONZE LINE: TRADITIONAL TECHNOLOGY

This segment of products is mainly aimed at older cars and light vehicles requiring old specifications and that cannot
use modern engine oil technology. This line of products offers mineral and a few semi-synthetic blends for traditional
passenger cars. The products can be used for gasoline and diesel engines.

SILVER LINE: MODERN TECHNOLOGY

This line of products is designed for the most modern passenger cars, diesel and gasoline, without aftertreatment
devices. It comprises mineral, semi-synthetic and full synthetic products with different performance levels.
The products are formulated to deliver long service life and to provide maximum protection of the engine.

GOLD LINE: LONG LASTING TECHNOLOGY

The latest passenger cars require different oils, with special additive technology,contains less
SAPS which are compatible with after-treatment devices (ACEA C Sequences).
Our Gold line answers the needs of these vehicles by providing an
extensive product line including products with extended
drain intervals and fuel economy products.

THE RIGHT OIL

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.

Visit our website: www.rymax-lubricants.com, or download the Rymax

Lubricants app to use our oil advisor. If the brand or the specific type
that you need is not mentioned in our program, please do not hesitate
to contact your Rymax lubricants representative for more information.
