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.
12 | CAR | Rymax Lubricants
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.

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. 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.
