PETROLEUM QUALITY INSTITUTE OF AMERICA TEST PROGRAM

 

The Petroleum Quality Institute of America (PQIA) is an independent resource for information and insights on the quality of lubricants in the marketplace. Our mission is to serve the consumer of lubricants by randomly sampling and independently testing lubricants taken from the field. Test results are posted along with the brand names on the PQIA website. This webpage provides an analysis on the brand detailed below.

 

 The following are the test results for the sample examined.
