The American
Petroleum
Institute sets
forth a number
of laboratory
and engine tests
required to meet
an API SM
performance
specification.
Although
laboratory tests
alone cannot be
used to
establish if an
engine oil meets
API SM, they can
be used to
determine if it
doesn't.
What follows is a comparison of the test results for Smitty's SuperS MultiFlo Premium Motor Oil 10W-30 as compared to the API SM ILSAC GF-4 requirements. The API SM and ILSAC GF-4 limits for each test are shown by the yellow bars. The test result for Smitty's SuperS MultiFlo Premium Motor Oil 10W-30 are illustrated by the horizontal line. |
