SJ

Oils with API SJ approval (specification) (engine oils for use in gasoline engines since 1996)

This class describes oils used in gasoline engines starting from 1996. Motor oils of this class are intended for use in gasoline engines of cars and sports cars, minibuses and light trucks, which are serviced in accordance with the requirements of car manufacturers. SJ provides the same minimum standards as Sh, as well as additional requirements for soot resistance and operation at low temperatures. Engine oils that meet the requirements of API SJ can be used in cases where the vehicle manufacturer recommends a class Sh or earlier.
