Unleash the Five Benefits of Tailored Oil with Quintet Guard

This tailored oil optimally complements high-precision engines. Quintet Guard technology provides five ultra-protective advantages for your car’s engine in all driving situations. In addition, it’s specifically formulated to maximize engine performance and minimize power loss.

Quintet Guard

Ultra-protective Quintet Guard technology combines the wisdom of oil experts to provide five unique benefits — in fluidity, adaptivity, smoothness, responsiveness, and durability — that protect your car’s engine in any driving environment. Depending on driving conditions, these five benefits combine differently to maximize advantages. The technology works in harmony to heighten engine performance and deliver driving exhilaration you can savor mile after mile.

This guide explores the key standards governing motor oil, focusing on SAE viscosity grades, API performance standards, and ILSAC fuel efficiency benchmarks.

SAE Viscosity

The SAE number indicates the viscosity grade of the oil (e.g., 0W-20) as defined by the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE). The first number with the “W” after it indicates its viscosity in winter conditions/temperature. The second number indicates its viscosity at operating temperature.

API Standards

API standards are petroleum standards established by the American Petroleum Institute (API). Gasoline engine oils are categorized by the letter “S” (Spark Ignition) followed by a second letter (e.g., SJ, SL, SM, SN, SN Plus, SP) which indicates each round of performance enhancements. The higher the second letter, the higher the oil performance. For example, SN offers higher performance than SM. The latest standard (SP) came into effect in May 2020.

The API Service Symbol “Donut” certifies that the oil meets indicated API quality and performance standards. It can only be displayed on oil products that meet Engine Oil License Certification System (EOLCS) standards established by API, SAE, and the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM).

ILSAC Standards

ILSAC standards combine API and fuel efficiency standards. The highest ILSAC oil grade is currently GF-6, which offers SP performance (by API standards) and excellent fuel efficiency. International Lubricant Standardization and Approval Committee (ILSAC) was founded by American Automobile Manufacturers Association (AAMA) and Japan Automobile Manufacturers Association (JAMA) to establish, update, and maintain common quality standards for oil.
