Which classifications provide the best orientation? The classifications of the API (American Petroleum Institute) and the ACEA (Association des Constructeurs Européens d'Automobiles) are widely used around the world. The API classifies engine oils into two performance classes . S (Service) = for petrol engines and C (Commercial) = for diesel engines. The ACEA specifications represent the world's highest requirements for today's state-of-the-art engine oils for motor vehicles. Engine oils are divided here into four further performance classes : ACEA A = for petrol or gasoline engines ACEA B = for diesel engine passenger cars and light commercial vehicles ACEA C = petrol and diesel engines with exhaust aftertreatment systems (three-way catalytic converters, diesel particle filters, petrol particle filters) ACEA E = for diesel engines in heavy commercial vehicles Our EUROPART competence brochure contains a wealth of information that will make it easier for you to choose the right oil.
