Expert Sosnovsky revealed the rules for reading motor oil labels

The head of the technical marketing department of the Takayama oil brand, Alexander Sosnovsky, explained to Rossiyskaya Gazeta how the wording “approved by the manufacturer”, “meets international standards”, “officially approved” and “recommended for” differs.

“Meets standards” is a statement from the manufacturer itself, which is supported by the own research of the company that manufactured the particular product.

In turn, “officially approved” means that the oil has passed a full cycle of tests by an external regulator, and based on the results of the tests, received a license (for example, API).

The “Approved” or “Approval” marking means that the lubricant has passed official tests by the vehicle manufacturer.

But the inscription “recommended for” indicates that the composition must meet the standards of the car brand, but they have not tested it.

The Belarus tractor was filled with a thick layer of ice for the sake of an experiment. With ZIL bolts: KamAZ electric buses will be equipped with Russian engines. In Belarus, the production of Geely cargo vans has been launched

Operating a car in difficult conditions, such as city traffic jams, severe frosts and dusty roads, requires more frequent engine oil changes than specified in official regulations.

The expert named 3 signs indicating the need to change the engine oil.
