The top portion of the label shows the oil quality by API (American Petroleum Institute) designation such as SH. The center portion of the label shows the SAE viscosity grade such as SAE 5W-30. "Energy-Conserving II," shown in the lower portion, indicates that the oil has fuel-saving capabilities. Oils marked "Energy- Conserving II" will have higher fuel-saving capabilities than oils marked "Energy-Conserving."

multigrade engine oil or
ILSAC multigrade engine oil.

Either or both API registered marks are added to some oil
containers to help you select the oil you should use.

The API Service Symbol is located anywhere on the
outside of the container.
The top portion of the label shows the oil quality by API
(American Petroleum Institute) designation such as SH.
The center portion of the label shows the SAE viscosity
grade such as SAE 5W–30.
“Energy–Conserving
II
,”
shown in the lower portion, indicates that the oil has
fuel–saving
capabilities.
Oils
marked
“Energy–
Conserving
II
” will have higher fuel–saving capabilities
than oils marked “Energy–Conserving.”
S
The ILSAC (International Lubricant Standardization and
Approval Committee) Certification Mark is displayed on the
front of the container.
