API SL is the latest API designation, which became effective in 2000 meeting new 2001 and later model vehicle requirements. The American Petroleum Institute (API) created specifications for motor oils to meet starting with SA for vehicles made prior to 1930. With each performance improvement, the second letter is changed thus becoming: SB,SC,SD,SE,SF,SG,SH,SJ,SL.

Yes, API CG-4 rated oils are preferred for Caterpillar on-highway truck engines because of the fuel sulfur level. API CI-4 oils are also allowed. See similar questions...

Generally, 10W-30 is best for all engines in year-round driving. 5W-30 is approved for most late model engines as well. It is what many new cars come with, because it lubricates the engine more quickly on start-up, it makes cold weather starting a little easier and reduces fuel consumption. However, it is not appropriate for any turbo charged or diesel engines, high-performance V-8s, or for sustained highway speeds or towing in hot weather. 10W-40 is also a popular choice.

Each API designation of motor oil is formulated to meet specific performance characteristics. Although oils of the same API designation are usually compatible with one another as well as with other high quality API motor oils of the same designation, it is our recommendation that different API designations not be mixed with each other or with competitor's products. This will ensure that the performance and API ratings built into each API designation are completely maintained. See similar questions...

Current Rule: They must not use motor carriers with an unsatisfactory safety rating to transport passengers or hazardous materials in interstate commerce. New Rule: Federal agencies would now be prohibited from using carriers of non-hazardous materials freight receiving a final unsatisfactory safety rating issued on or after the effective date of the rule. They would continue to be prohibited from using these motor carriers to transport P, HM. See similar questions...

The Fotolia API is a tool that allows a website to make requests to the Fotolia database and receive results with images. Thus, your website visitors can search images on your website without leaving it, and they will become your affiliates if they register on Fotolia. In addition the Fotolia API can be used to integrate our services in your product (search and purchase functions) or to build applications using Fotolia (plugin, add-on software, web service, widget etc).

You should have an oil/water separator installed to keep such material from entering your reclaim system. Generally, an occasional "dumping" of oil from a single auto will not damage our system and the microbes will consume the used motor oil. See similar questions...

This is a TOUGH question. Many people have their own opinion on this. My personal preference is Valvoline 10w-30. I have used that since my first car and have NEVER had any problems with it. See similar questions...

Quite. Just about every Symbian OS C++ API you come across will use descriptors for transferring text and binary data somewhere, so if you've used C strings, you are going to have a problem using these APIs. You'll have to do the conversion every time you want to use an API call requiring a descriptor, which is inefficient. So you might as well keep reading, and learn how to use descriptors correctly.

It is possible, but this requires hardware modification to the motor. The main problem is that starter motors do not have permanent magnets to create the armature's (the part of the motor that doesn't move) magnetic field. Furthermore starter motors are designed to deliver high power for relatively short periods of time, and, therefore, do not make very effective or efficient continuous motors. Information on how to modify starter motors can be found on the Internet. See similar questions...

Yes, it is. To meet the demanding requirements of today's specifications (and our customers' expectations), Mobil 1 with SuperSyn uses high-performance fluids, including polyalphaolefins (PAOs), along with a proprietary system of additives. Each Mobil 1 with SuperSyn viscosity grade uses a unique combination of synthetic fluids and selected additives in order to tailor the viscosity grade to its specific application. See similar questions...

All motor oils are made up of base oils and additives. In general, fully synthetic motor oils contain non-conventional, high-performance fluids. Semi-synthetic oils (also called "blends") usually use a small percentage of non-conventional, high-performance fluids in combination with conventional base oil. See similar questions...

FP60 contains compounds that clean the combustion chamber(cc) and fuel system, and provides a more even rate of burning. Thus there are less carbonaceous materials present to cause hot spots in the cc which can results in pre-ignition and knocks (pinging). It also provides some extra energy from its concentrated ingredients. The net effect is that some people can use a lower octance fuel when using FP60. See similar questions...

Why does AMSOIL say to change the AMSOIL SDF Oil Filter at six months regardless of the mileage. I have only gone 5,000 miles and figure that I could go the whole year without changing it and be good. See similar questions...
