The top portion of the label shows the oil quality by API (American Petroleum Institute) designations 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 fuelsaving capabilities. Oils marked "EnergyConserving II" will have higher fuel-saving capabilities than oils marked "Energy- Conserving". 186
