Oils are rated SH, SJ, SK maybe they skipped K, SL, SM, SN.
SH was back in the 1980s, SJ was 1990s through 2000ish, SL by mid 2000s and so on.
SH oil has the most antiwear additives and detergents.
The current standard SN has the least. By a factor or a lot.
SH oils can have 3 times the antiwear additives and up to around 4x the detergents than an SN oil.
