Engine oil SP represents the quality grade of engine oil. SG, SJ, SL, SM, and the subsequent SP are all grades for gasoline engine oils, with SP being the highest grade currently available for gasoline engine oils. A3/B4 is the testing and certification standard for automotive lubricants set by the European automobile manufacturing industry. Technically, it is higher than the commonly known American API standard. Below is an introduction to related content: 1.
