Audit - U.S. GLOBAL PETROLEUM - EVEREST MOTOR OIL

Engine Oils licensed under API’s Engine Oil Licensing and Certification System (EOLCS) are purchased in the marketplace annually and audited to ensure the oils conform to program requirements. Audit candidates may be purchased in containers or drawn from bulk tanks (for example, those found at oil-change locations, service stations, and automotive service facilities). These candidates are chosen from a randomly-generated list of API-licensed oils, or, in the case of bulk engine oils, are purchased from randomly-selected locations.

The licensed oils collected from the marketplace undergo a series of bench tests to ensure the oils meet the performance requirements specified in API Publication 1509 and the EOLCS Application for Licensure. Additionally, the labels from licensed oils purchased in containers are examined to make sure the API Marks—the API Service Symbol “donut” and Certification Mark “Starburst”—are properly displayed and convey accurate information to consumers. All information regarding the collection and examination of the sample, including receipts, images and other documentation, can be found by expanding the ‘Collection Company Results’ section.

API has completed our analysis of the product indicated below. We are pleased to report that this oil complies with the requirements of API’s Engine Oil Program and no further action on your part is required at this time.

API appreciates the actions that you have taken to ensure that this product satisfies the requirements of the EOLCS program.
