Yes. Caltex Havoline Formula exceeds the API SL classification which encompasses all earlier API classifications, including API SJ and SH and the obsolete SG, SF, SE, etc. Although API is a U.S. classification, it is widely used by manufacturers from other countries. Check the owners’ manual for your Japanese car, it will almost certainly recommend engine oil using the API system. Further, Havoline Formula was developed with the needs of the Japanese cars in mind.

The latest engine designs have resulted in increasing demands on motor oils to provide improved protection. The stringent API SL classification reflects these requirements and is now demanded by vehicle manufacturers. Caltex Havoline Formula meets these performance demands and goes beyond them, thus offering superior protection against engine wear and deposits.

Caltex Havoline Formula controls oil consumption by resisting structural break-down, thereby maintaining its viscosity for the life of the oil. Oil consumption is further reduced by control of high-temperature evaporation as evidenced by its performance in the most stringent European ACEA volatility test. In addition, it keeps the pistons free from deposits, enabling the piston rings to maintain a positive seal.

No they are not. Caltex Havoline Formula actually provides extra protection for your engine. It is false economy to buy a cheap, low quality oil and try to compensate for this by changing the oil more frequently. These oils only have enough additives to give your engine minimum protection, and for a relatively short time. Once they are used up, they no longer perform at all. In the long run this means more services for your car, more oil changes and more replacements of expensive engine parts.

Yes. Caltex Havoline Formula is formulated for use with both unleaded and leaded gasoline. In fact, the qualifying tests for API certification are run using unleaded fuel. Also, Caltex Havoline Formula is specifically formulated to protect emission control devices such as catalytic converters and oxygen sensors, which are often used with unleaded fuel.

Your car is likely to be your second most important investment after your home. Caltex Havoline Energy motor oil is also an investment, saving up to 6% of fuel consumption while providing outstanding engine protection.

Yes. All cars benefit from Caltex Havoline Formula’s friction-fighting properties, high temperature stability and improved deposit control, irrespective of age. These three key properties provide improved performance and prolonged engine life.

Yes, in viscosity grades SAE 10W-30 and above Caltex Havoline Formula can be used in other four-stroke gasoline engines such as those fitted to many motor cycles, lawn mowers, portable power equipment, etc.

No, the engine will receive complete protection against starting friction and wear, heat stress, and engine deposits. Because of the reduced fuel consumed, fewer harmful exhaust emissions are produced. Caltex Havoline Energy is also compatible with catalysts where fitted, preventing untimely catalyst degradation and maintaining control of exhaust emissions. So users of Caltex Havoline Energy are also helping the environment.

You do not need to use a 5W-20 oil. Do not let your dealer/owner's manual scare you by telling you that you have to use it for your warranty. Once you know the facts and the Federal Magnuson Moss Act law, you will be much better informed to protect your rights and use the type of oil you want to use. See the 5w-20 Issue for more detailed information.

Several. Firstly, superior resistance to oxidation. Oxidation is an oil degradation process caused by the oil combining with oxygen in the air and accelerated at the higher temperatures experienced in an engine. It shortens the life of the oil and, if the oil is not replaced in time, your engine may be damaged. Secondly, reduces volatility. Particularly in newer engine designs, evaporation can be a significant contributor to oil consumption.

Caltex Havoline Energy is designed for use in modern, high performance engines where the manufacturer recommends the highest performance motor oil. Caltex Havoline Energy is generally recommended for use in newer gasoline passenger cars in place of motor oils having viscosities from SAE 5W-30 to SAE 15W-40.

Synthetic base fluids are manufactured over a number of complex chemical stages and are thus inherently more expensive than base oils extracted from petroleum.

Definitely. The benefits of greater oxidation resistance and reduced wear on starting are directly applicable to older cars. Also, the use of Caltex Havoline Fully Synthetic may result in lower fuel and oil consumption depending on the viscosity grade of "the conventional" motor oil you are currently using. A short answer to this question is "Yes". However, oil drain intervals are specified by vehicle manufacturers and published in owner’s manuals.

Yes, we'll replace any lost or damaged owners manual at no cost to you. Just email us or call Weber Customer Service at 800/446-1071. It is important to us that you are always able to use your grill properly and safely.

Every Smoker Craft boat ships with a Boat Owners Manual. In the event that your owners manual is missing you may acquire a replacement manual from your local dealer. You will find a full listing of Smoker Craft dealers HERE. If you have purchased a pre-owned Smoker Craft boat that was manufactured before 1997 and did not include an owners manual, you may get the current edition of the Smoker Craft Boat Owners Manual. We do not carry out dated editions of the Boat Owners Manual.

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.

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).
