• Do not drive at one consistent engine or vehicle speed for a long time, either fast orslow.
• Avoid starting suddenly and rapid acceleration, except in an emergency.
• Avoid hard braking, except in an emergency.

• API classification SN with the words “RESOURCE CONSERVING”, SN PLUS with the words “RESOURCE CONSERVING”, or SP with the words “RESOURCE CONSERVING”.
• ILSAC GF-5 or GF-6A, which can be identified with the ILSAC certification mark (Starburst mark).
