Hello guys.
I need help. I am trying to make a comparative study of the API classifications, regarding performance specs and environmental issues.
I would really appreciate any link or advice.
Thanks in advance

Best starting point would be the classifications explanation on the API website:

Thank you, EM.

At this moment i have gathered most of the data available on the net regarding this topic, the lubricant and additive makers have interesting stuff.

My homework is almost done, just need a little time to organize and make it readable.

Thanks again.
