Throughout the North American marketplace, passenger car engine oils are about to change. ILSAC GF-7, the next performance specification for such oils, goes into effect on March 31, 2025, and will elevate the performance required for every bottle of oil sold throughout the continent moving forward.

For today’s vehicles, this is good news—GF-7 features significant performance upgrades that help best enable modern engine hardware, developed by original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) to meet stringent new fuel economy standards while delivering enhanced durability.

Padu Sreenivas, Product Manager, North American passenger car motor oil, digs deeper into what this development means for the transportation landscape, as well as what is required to formulate engine oils that meet forward-thinking performance standards in this article from AutoTech Outlook.
