The API 'Donut' identifies oils that meet current API engine oil standards.
ISAE: viscosity grade of the oil, API: standards met by the oil, and other important performance bench marks.
The top of the "Donut" displays the motor oil's API performance standard. The letter "S" followed by another letter (API SN) refers to oil suitable for gasoline engines, and the letter "C" followed by another letter and number (API CJ-4) refers to oil suitable for diesel engines.
The center of the "Donut" shows the motor oil's SAE viscosity grade. Viscosity is the measure of an oil's ability to flow at certain temperatures.
The bottom of the "Donut" tells whether the motor oil has resource-conserving properties when compared with a reference oil in an engine test. Motor oils labeled as "Resource Conserving" have passed this test.

WHAT DOES MOTOR OIL DO FOR YOUR VEHICLE?
Valvoline™ motor oil lubricates engine components and helps stop metal parts from grinding against one another. It also helps stop deposits from forming on engine components by holding contaminants in suspension.
WHAT CAN GO WRONG?
Over time, motor oil gets dirty. When dirt accumulates in oil, it can become more viscous and abrasive, less effective in lubricating and cause more wear to your engine.
WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS?
How Regular Oil Changes Help Your Vehicle:
Helps fight the four major causes of engine breakdown: Heat, Deposits, Sludge, Friction
Provides engine protection at startup
Helps maintain your vehicle's warranty
WHAT IS MILEAGE INTERVAL?
Your owner's manual may provide different oil change intervals for both regular driving and severe driving.
Roughly 70% of drivers fall under severe driving conditions. Severe driving conditions include stop-and-go driving, consistent idling, pulling, towing, dusty environment or high or low ambient temperatures.
Always consult your vehicle's owner's manual for your manufacturer's oil change mileage interval recommendation.

WHY IS IT IMPORTANT TO CHOOSE THE RIGHT OIL CHANGE PRODUCTS?

Using recycled motor oil for your auto oil change can not only be harsh on your vehicle's engine, but also cancel out your Engine Powertrain warranty. Some 'big' name oil change companies do not tell you that they are using recycled oil on their $19.99 deals, it is very important to ask. Regular quality oil changes are the most important thing to do regularly for your vehicle, going on the 'cheap' can end up costing a lot of money in the long term.
