Where can I find information about the required vehicle permits?

The most reliable and accurate way to find out what oil tolerances are required for your vehicle is to consult the operation manual (service book). Car manufacturers clearly indicate the recommended viscosity grades (for example, 5W-30, 5W-40), as well as specific tolerances (API, ACEA and OEM approvals) that the engine oil must meet.

If you do not have a service book, you can find this information on the automaker’s official website, in specialized online catalogs, or contact your car’s authorized dealer. It is important to remember that even if the oil meets the general classification API or ACEA, it may not meet the specific requirements of a particular automaker. Therefore, always check the OEM approval if it is specified in the manual.

Automotive oil tolerances are not a formality, but a critical indicator that guarantees oil compatibility with your engine and ensures its long–lasting and trouble-free operation. Using oil with the correct tolerances specified by the automaker is the key to the health of your engine, maintaining the warranty and saving on expensive repairs in the future.

Always pay attention to the markings on the canister and choose only proven oils that meet the requirements of your vehicle.
