1 answer

The API symbol or donut provides all of the above information:

  1. Engine oil performance category: Indicates whether the oil is suitable for gasoline engines (S category) or heavy-duty diesel engines (C category).
  2. SAE viscosity grade: Indicates the viscosity of the oil, which affects its flow and performance at different temperatures.
  3. Resource conserving: Indicates whether the oil meets certain fuel economy requirements.

So, the correct answer is All of the above.
