2.3.2.1 SN—2011 Gasoline Engine Warranty Maintenance Service API Service Category SN was adopted for use in describing engine oils available in 2011. These oils are for use in service typical of gasoline engines in current and earlier passenger cars, sport utility vehicles, vans, and light- duty trucks operating under vehicle manufacturers’ recommended maintenance procedures. Engine oils that meet the API Service Category SN designation (see Appendix G, Table G-5) may be used where API Service Category SM and earlier S categories have been recommended. Engine oils that meet the API Service Category SN designation have been tested in accordance with the ACC Code and may use the API Base Oil Interchangeability Guidelines and the API Guidelines for SAE Viscosity- Grade Engine Testing (see Appendices E and F). Starting October 1, 2010, oils that have passed the tests for API Service Category SN at the limits shown in Table G-5 and are properly licensed by API may display API Service SN in the upper portion of the API Service Symbol. Before the October 1, 2010, introduction date, oil marketers may license API SN oils as API SM. 2.3.2.5.2 Resource Conserving in Conjunction with API Service Category SN API Service SN engine oils designated as Resource Conserving are formulated to help improve fuel economy and protect vehicle emission system components in passenger cars, sport utility vehicles, vans, and light-duty trucks powered by gasoline engines. These oils have demonstrated a fuel economy improvement (FEI) in the Sequence VID test at the percentages listed in Table 1 when compared with a baseline oil (BL) used in the Sequence VID test. Additionally, these oils have demonstrated in the tests listed in Table 1 that they provide greater emission system protection, ensure compatibility with engine seals, and help protect engines when operating on ethanol-containing fuels up to E85. Many previous S-categories made reference to Energy Conserving, but
