I believe that most or all synthetics will meet that. If you get a chance to look at the label, look for the API service logo. The "Energy Conserving" label will be a part of that, either around the outside or in the middle?

Interesting, this is a quote from the BITOG forum:
Quote:
After August1, 1997 only SJ oils will be designated as "Energy Conserving". The test for SH in combination with "Energy Conserving" and "Energy Conserving II" will not exist.
Anyway, look for the API "donut" and it will say Energy Conserving or not. If it does, its the stuff you want.
