The Evolution of Engine Oil: API SQ & GF-7 Standards
As automotive technology advances, engine oils must evolve to meet stricter performance demands. The API SQ GF-7 Oil Standards certification represents a major leap in lubrication standards, offering superior protection for modern engines—especially turbocharged gasoline direct injection (TGDI) systems.
Key Improvements in API SQ/GF-7 Oils
1.Enhanced Engine Protection
1.Better LSPI (Low-Speed Pre-Ignition) control prevents catastrophic engine damage.
2.Improved deposit control and wear resistance extend engine life.
3.Stronger high-temperature stability safeguards turbochargers.
2.Fuel Efficiency & Eco-Friendly Performance
1.Optimized low-viscosity grades (0W-8, 0W-12) reduce friction for better fuel economy.
2.Sulfated ash limits (≤0.9%) protect gasoline particulate filters (GPF) and reduce emissions.
3.Cold-Weather Performance
Superior low-temperature fluidity ensures smooth starts in freezing conditions.
