API Service Classifications
“S” Spark
“S” Spark - (Service Stations, Garages, New Car Dealers, etc.)
The following descriptions of the categories in the API Engine Service

Classification System are intended as guides to aid in the selection of proper
engine oils for significantly different engine service conditions. The performance
requirements for these categories are technically described in SAE J183-June
1991, Engine Oil Performance and Engine Service Classification (except for SH).
SA Formerly for Utility Gasoline and Diesel Engine Service

Service typical of older engines operated under such mild conditions that
the protection afforded by compounded oils is not required. This category
should not be used in any engine unless specifically recommended by
the equipment manufacturer.
SB For Minimum Duty Gasoline Engine Service

Service typical of older gasoline engines operated under such mild
conditions that only minimum protection afforded by compounding is desired.
Oils designed for this service have been used since the 1930s and provide only
antiscuff capability and resistance to oil oxidation and bearing corrosion. They
should not be used in any engine unless specifically recommended
by the equipment manufacturer.
SC For 1964 Gasoline Engine Warranty Maintenance Service

Service typical of gasoline engines in 1964 through 1967 models of
passenger cars and some trucks operating under engine manufacturers’
warranties in effect during those model years. Oils designed for this
service provide control of high and low temperature deposits, wear,
rust and corrosion in gasoline engines.
SD For Gasoline Engine Warranty Maintenance Service

Service typical of gasoline engines in 1968 through 1970 models of passenger
cars and some trucks operating under engine manufacturers’ warranties in
effect during those model years. Also may apply to certain 1971 and/or later
models as specified (or recommended) in the owners’ manuals. Oils designed
for this service provide more protection against high and low temperature
engine deposits, wear, rust and corrosion in gasoline engines than oils which
are satisfactory for API Engine Service Category SC and may be used when
API Engine Service Category SC is recommended.
SE For 1972 Gasoline Engine Warranty Service

Service typical of gasoline engines in passenger cars and some trucks
beginning with 1972 and certain 1971 models operating under engine
manufacturers’ warranties. Oils designed for this service provide more
protection against oil oxidation, high temperature engine deposits, rust
and corrosion in gasoline engines than oils which are satisfactory for
API Engine Service Categories SD or SC and may be used when either
of these classifications is recommended.

“S” Spark
SF For 1980 Gasoline Engine Warranty Maintenance Service

Service typical of gasoline engines in passenger cars and some trucks
beginning with the 1980 model year operating under manufacturers’
recommended maintenance procedures. Oils developed for this service
provide increased oxidation stability and improved anti-wear performance
relative to oils which meet the minimum requirements for API Service
Category SE. The oils also provide protection against engine deposits,
rust and corrosion. Oils meeting API Service Classification SF may be
used where API Service Categories SE, SD or SC are recommended.
Oils meeting the performance requirements measured in the following

gasoline engine tests: The IID gasoline engine test has been correlated
with vehicles used in short-trip service prior to 1978, particularly with regard
to rusting. The IIID gasoline engine test has been correlated with vehicles
used in high temperature service prior to 1978, particularly with regard to
oil thickening and valve train wear. The V-D gasoline engine test has been
correlated with vehicles used in stop-and-go service prior to 1978, particularly
with regard to varnish, sludge and valve train wear. The L-38 gasoline engine
test requirement provides a measurement of copper-lead bearing weight loss
under high-temperature operating conditions.
SG For 1989 Gasoline Engine Warranty Maintenance Service

Service typical of gasoline engine in passenger cars, vans and light
trucks beginning with the 1989 model year operating under manufacturers’
recommended maintenance procedures. Category SG quality oils include
the performance properties of API service category CC. (Certain manufacturers
of gasoline engines require oils also meeting API Category CD).
Oils developed for this service provide improved control of engine deposits,
oil oxidation and engine wear relative to oils developed for previous categories.
These oils also provide protection against rust and corrosion. Oils meeting
API Service Category SG may be used where API Service Categories SF, SF/
CC, SE or SE/CC are recommended.
Oils meeting the performance requirements measured in the following

gasoline and diesel engine tests:
• The IID gasoline engine test has been correlated with vehicles used
in short-trip service prior to 1978, particularly with regard to rusting.
• The IIIE gasoline engine test has been correlated with vehicles used
in high-temperature service prior to 1988, particularly with regard to oil
thickening and valve train wear.
• The VE gasoline engine test has been correlated with vehicles used in
stop-and-go service prior to 1988, particularly with regard to sludge and
valve train wear.
• The L-38 gasoline engine test requirement provides a measurement
of copper-lead bearing weight loss and piston varnish under high
temperature operating conditions.
• The 1-H2 diesel engine test requirement provides a measurement
of high-temperature deposits.

“S” Spark
SH For 1992 Gasoline Engine Warranty Maintenance Service

Category SH covers the performance requirements of SG oils tested to the latest
CMA protocol on engine testing. In addition, SH oils must meet various bench test
requirements including volatility, filterability and foaming tests.
SJ For 1997 Gasoline Engine Warranty Maintenance Service
API Service Category SJ was adopted for use in describing engine oils available
in 1996. These oils are for use in service typical of gasoline engines in current and
earlier passenger-car, sport utility vehicle, van, and light truck operations under
vehicle manufacturers’ recommended maintenance procedures. Engine oils that
meet API Service Category SJ designation may be used where API Service Category
SH and earlier Categories have been recommended. Engine oils that meet the API
Service Category SJ designation have been tested in accordance with the CMA Code,
may use the API Base Oil Interchangeability Guidelines and the API Guidelines for
SAE Viscosity-Grade Engine Testing. Engine oils that meet these requirements may
display API Service Category SJ in the upper portion of the API Service Symbol.
SL For 2001 Gasoline Engine Warranty Maintenance Service
API Service Category SL was adopted for use in describing engine oils available
earlier passenger cars, sport utility vehicles, vans, and light-duty trucks operating
under vehicle manufacturers’ recommended maintenance procedures. Engine oils
that meet API Service Category SL designation may be used where API Service
Category SJ and earlier Categories have been recommended. Engine oils that meet
the API Service Category SL designation have been tested in accordance with the
ACC Code and may use the API Base Oil Interchangeability Guidelines and the API
Guidelines for SAE Viscosity-Grade Engine Testing. First licence date was July 1,
2001, engine oils that meet these requirements may display API Service Category SL
in the upper portion of the API Service Symbol.
SM For all automotive engines currently in use. Introduced in 2004, SM oils are designed
to provide improved oxidation resistance, improved deposit protection, better wear
protection, and better low-temperature performance over the life of the oil. Some SM oils
may also meet the latest ILSAC specifications and/or quality as Energy Conserving.
Suitable for use where API SJ or SL have been recommended. The first license date
for API SM was November 30th 2004. Engine oil that meet these requirements may
display API Service Category SM in the upper portion of the API Service Symbol.
SN API Service Category SN was adopted for use in describing engine oils available
earlier passenger cars, sport utility vehicles, vans, and light-duty trucks operating
under vehicle manufacturers’ recommended maintenance procedures. Vehicle owners
and operators should follow their vehicle manufacturer’s recommendations on engine
oil viscosity and performance standard.
Engine oils that meet the API Service Category SN designation may be used where
API Service Category SM and earlier S categories have been recommended.
Engine oils that meet the API Service Category SN designation have been tested
in accordance with the ACC Code and may use the API Base Oil Interchangeability
Guidelines and the API Guidelines for SAE Viscosity-Grade Engine Testing. Starting
October 1, 2010, oils that have passed the tests for API Service Category SN and are
properly licensed by API may display API Service SN in the upper portion of the API
Service Symbol.
API SN engine oils designated as Resource Conserving are formulated to help
improve fuel economy and protect vehicle emission system components in passenger
cars, sport utility vehicles, vans, and light-duty trucks powered by gasoline engines.
The requirements are aligned with ILSAC GF-5

CF For Indirect Injected Diesel Engine Service

API Service Category CF denotes service typical of indirect injected diesel
engines, and other diesel engines which use a broad range of fuel types
including those using fuel with higher sulphur content, for example, over
0.5% wt. Effective control of piston deposits, wear and copper - containing
bearing corrosion is essential for these engines which may be naturally
aspirated, turbocharged or supercharged. Oils designated for this service
have been in existence since 1994. Oils designated for this service may
also be used when API service category CD is recommended.
CF-2 For Two-Stroke Cycle Diesel Engine Service

API Service category CF-2 denotes service typical of two-stroke cycle
engines requiring highly effective control over cylinder and ring-face scuffing
and deposits. Oils designated for this service have been in existence
since 1994 and may also be used when API Service Category CD-II is
recommended. These oils do not necessarily meet the requirements
of CF or CF-4 unless passing test requirements for these categories.
CF-4 For High Performance Diesel Engine Service

This category was adopted in 1990 and describes oils for use in high speed,
four-stroke diesel engines. API CF-4 oils exceed the requirements of the CE
category, providing improved control of oil consumption and piston deposits.

CG-4 For Severe Duty Diesel Engine Service

API Service Category CG-4 describes oils for use in high speed four
stroke-cycle diesel engines used on both heavy-duty on-highway (less
than 0.05% wt. sulphur fuel) and off highway (less than 0.5% wt. sulphur
fuel) applications. CG-4 oils provide effective control over high temperature
piston deposits, wear, corrosion, foaming, oxidation stability and soot
accumulation. These oils are especially effective in engines designed to
meet 1994 exhaust emission standards and may also be used in engines
requiring API Service Categories CD, CE and CF-4. Oils designated for
this service have been in existence since 1994.
CH-4 For 1998 Severe Duty Diesel Engine Service

API Service Category CH-4 describes oils for use in high-speed, four-stroke
diesel engines designed to meet 1998 exhaust emissions standards as well
as for previous model years. CH-4 oils are specifically compounded for use
with diesel fuels ranging in sulphur content up to 0.5 percent weight.
These oils are especially effective to sustain engine durability even under
adverse applications that may stress wear control, high temperature stability,
and soot handling properties. In addition, optimum protection is provided
against non-ferrous corrosion, oxidative and insoluble thickening, foaming,
and viscosity loss due to shear. These oils also have the performance
capability to afford a more flexible approach to oil drain intervals in
accordance with the recommendations of the individual engine builders
for their specific engines.
CH-4 oils are superior in performance to those meeting API CF-4 and API CG-4
and can effectively lubricate engines calling for those API Service Categories.
CI-4 For 2004 Severe Duty Diesel Engine Service

API Service Category CI-4 describes oils for use in high-speed, four-stroke
cycle diesel engines designed to meet 2004 exhaust emission standards
implemented in 2002. These oils are intended for use in all applications
with diesel fuels ranging in sulphur content up to 0.5% weight.
These oils are specifically formulated to sustain engine durability where

Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) is used and the impact of these oils on
other supplemental exhaust emission devices has not been determined.
Optimum protection is provided against corrosive and soot-related wear
tendencies, piston deposits, degradation of low- and high-temperature
viscometric properties due to soot accumulation, oxidative thickening, loss
of oil consumption control, foaming, degradation of seal materials, and
viscosity loss due to shear.
Engine oils that meet the API Service Category CI-4 designation have been
tested in accordance with the ACC Code and may use the API Base Oil
Interchangeability Guidelines and the API Guidelines for SAE Viscocity-Grade
Engine Testing.
CI-4 oils are superior in performance to those meeting API CH-4, CG-4, and
CF-4 and may be used in engines calling for those API Service Categories.

emission standards as well as for previous model years.
These oils are compounded for use in all applications with diesel fuels ranging
in sulphur content up to 500ppm (0.05% by weight). However, the use of these
oils with greater than 15ppm (0.0015% by weight) sulphur fuel may impact after
treatment system durability and/or oil drain interval.
These oils are especially effective at sustaining emission control system

durability where particulate filters and other advanced after treatment systems
are used. Optimum protection is provided for control of catalyst poisoning,
particulate filter blocking, engine wear, piston deposits, low- and high-
temperature stability, soot handling properties, oxidative thickening, foaming,
and viscosity loss due to shear.
Engine oils that meet the API Service Category CJ-4 designation have been
tested in accordance with the ACC Code and may use the API Base Oil
Interchangeability Guidelines and the API Guidelines for SAE Viscosity-Grade
Engine Testing.
API CJ-4 oils exceed the performance criteria of API CI-4 with CI-4 PLUS,
CI-4, CH-4, CG-4 and CF-4 and can effectively lubricate engines calling for
those API Service Categories. When using CJ-4 oil with higher than 15 ppm
sulphur fuel, consult the engine manufacturer for service interval.
The first licence date for API CJ-4 will be October 15, 2006.
Effective May 1, 2006, marketers may license products meeting API CJ-4
requirements as API CI-4 with CI-4 PLUS, CI-4, CH-4, CG-4, and CF-4.

Note:
NMMA developed the FCW specifications for four-stroke outboard engines, in response to the increasing need for a
dedicated lubricant for this application, as opposed to the use of a traditional passenger car engine oil. Oils seeking
NMMA FCW approval must meet a minimum of API SG in addition to responding to the corrosion inhibition and anti-wear
requirements of an outboard engine.

API Lubricant Service Designation for Automotive Manual Transmission(1) & Axles
This material was prepared by the Lubricants Service Classification Task Force
of the Fuels and Lubricants Committee, Marketing Department, American
Petroleum Institute, to assist manufacturers and users of automotive equipment
in the selection of transmission and axle lubricants for the operating conditions
as described.
In transmissions, and particularly in rear axles, gears of different designs are

available for a variety of different service conditions. Selection of a lubricant for
specific applications involves careful consideration of the operating conditions
and the chemical and physical characteristics of the lubricant to meet these
service conditions. Until recently, transmission and differential lubricants were
described in qualitative terms and by a variety of designations, each one
attempting to describe both the lubricant and the service conditions under
which the lubricant must perform. Consideration of these lubricant designations
to a minimum number was deemed highly desirable in the light of present
day technology. The American Petroleum Institute, therefore, prepared six
lubricant service designations for automotive manual transmissions and axles,
each designation referring to the performance required of a gear lubricant
for a specific type of automotive service. These designations also recognise
the possibility that lubricant may be developed for more than one service
classification and as a result may be so designated.
In developing the language for the service classifications, a need was recognised
to supplement the descriptions for certain gear lubricants, particularly those
for hypoid gears, by referring to a series of tests which would serve as a “test
language” to provide more detailed information on the performance requirements
of such lubricant. This “test language” was developed by Section III of Technical
Division B on Automotive Lubricants of ASTM Committee D-2, and reference is
made to these test procedures in the API service designations described below.
This system of designations replaced all previous API gear lubricant designations
and became effective May 1, 1969. These designations are as follows:-
API GL-1 Designates the type of service characteristic of automotive spiral-bevel and
worm-gear axles and some manually operated transmissions operating under
such mild conditions of low unit pressures and sliding velocities, that straight
mineral oil can be used satisfactorily. Oxidation and rust inhibitors, defoamers, and
pour depressants may be utilised to improve the characteristics of lubricants for
this service. Frictional modifiers and extreme pressure agents shall not be utilised.
API GL-2 Designates the type of service characteristic of automotive type worm-gear axles
operating under such conditions of load temperature and sliding velocities, that
lubricants satisfactory for API GL-1 service will not suffice.
API GL-3 Designates the type of service characteristic of manual transmissions and
spiral-bevel axles operating under moderately severe conditions of speed
and load. These service conditions require a lubricant having load carrying
capacities greater than those which will satisfy API GL-1 service, but below
the requirements of lubricants satisfying API GL-4 service.
API Lubricant Service Designation
API GL-4 This classification is still used commercially to describe lubricants, but the
equipment required for the anti-scoring test procedures to verify lubricant
performance is no longer available.
Designates the type of service characteristic of gears, particularly hypoid(2)

in passenger cars and other automotive type of equipment operated under
high-speed, low-torque, and low-speed, high-torque conditions.
Lubricants suitable for this service are those which provide anti-score
protection equal to or better than that defined by CRC Reference Gear Oil
RGO-105 and have been subjected to the test procedures and provide the
performance levels described in ASTM STP-512A, dated March 1987(3).
API GL-5 Designates the type of service characteristic of gears, particularly hypoid in
passenger cars and other automotive equipment operated under high-speed,
shock-load; high-speed, low-torque; and low-speed, high-torque conditions.
Lubricants suitable for this service are those which provide anti-score
protection equal to or better than that defined by CRC Reference Gear Oil
RGO-110 and have been subjected to the test procedures and provide the
performance levels described in ASTM D7450(2).
API GL-6 This category is obsolete and is listed for historical reference only.
The equipment used to measure performance is no longer available.
Footnotes: (1) Automatic or semi-automatic transmissions, fluid couplings, torque

converters, and tractor hydraulic systems usually require special
lubricants. For the proper lubricant to be used, consult the manufacturer
or lubricant supplier.
(2) Limited slip differentials generally have special lubricant requirements.

The lubricant supplier shall be consulted regarding the suitability of their
lubricant for such differentials. Information helpful in evaluating lubricants for
this type of service may be found in ASTM D7450.
(3) The complete publication is titled “Laboratory Performance Tests

for Automotive Gear Lubricants intended for API GL-5 Service.”
Note: API GL-4 oils are not suitable for highly-loaded hypoid axles. API GL-4 oils
are used in synchronised manual transmissions and transaxles as well as
in mild hypoid and spiral bevel axles.

Timken Extreme Pressure Test
ASTM D2782
Scope: Covers the determination of load-carrying capacity of lubricating fluids by

means of the Timken Extreme-Pressure Tester.
Equipment: The test uses the Timken Wear and Lubricant Testing Machine, in which
a pivoted test block is applied to the periphery of a rotating cylinder (cup)
in such a way that the pressure of application can be controlled.
Method: The machine is operated with the steel cup rotating at 800 r/min. Two
determinations are made: the minimum load that will rupture the lubricant
film and cause scoring or seizure; and the maximum load (OK load) that
will not rupture the lubricant film.
Testing is initiated at an applied load of 30 lbs and increased in increments

of 10 lbs until scoring occurs. The load is then reduced by 5 lbs to determine
the final score load and OK load values. Each load stage is run for a 10 minute
duration and the lubricant temperature is brought to 38°C at the start of
each stage.
Specifications: The method is widely used for specifications purposes and is used to
differentiate between lubricants having low, medium or high extreme-pressure
characteristics. The results may not correlate with results from service.
