API SQ / API ILSAC GF-7a
API ILSAC GF-7a and API SQ represent important next-generation gasoline engine oil performance standards. They cover wear protection, detergency and dispersancy, fuel economy, timing-chain wear protection, LSPI prevention, and high-temperature oxidation stability. For consumers, this means more than simply meeting the latest international standards—it also reflects more complete protection and compatibility for modern turbocharged, direct-injection, and hybrid powertrains.
