Four of our SYNTH-ECO products have officially received the new API SQ and ILSAC GF-7A certifications. All required engine tests were successfully completed, our databases have been updated, and the new labels are ready.
The update applies to:
• SYNTH-ECO 0W16
• SYNTH-ECO G3 0W20
• SYNTH-ECO G3 5W20
• SYNTH-ECO G3 5W30
Our latest upgrade to API SQ marks a significant leap in performance and efficiency — raising the bar in four key areas:
fuel economy, LSPI protection, engine cleanliness, and reduced ash formation.
LSPI (Low-Speed Pre-Ignition) protection refers to the ability of engine oil to prevent spontaneous and unwanted ignition of the air-fuel mixture in modern turbocharged gasoline engines at low speed and high load. LSPI can cause serious engine damage, such as broken pistons or connecting rods. Oils with LSPI protection contain specially formulated additives that significantly reduce this risk.
Fuel efficiency takes center stage, with up to 16% higher gains compared to API SP. That’s good news for your engine, your fuel consumption, and the environment. OEMs demand more — we deliver more.
In short: with API SQ, our oils are fully ready for the next generation of engines.
Faster, cleaner, smarter — just the way it should be with Ardeca.

API SQ and ILSAC GF-7A are the latest industry standards for gasoline engine oils. They’re designed to meet the needs of today’s modern engines, with stricter requirements for fuel economy, engine protection, and sustainability. By complying with these specifications, we ensure that our products are perfectly aligned with cutting-edge engine technologies — and environmental targets.
We're driving into the future.
And this is just the beginning. Throughout the year, we’ll be rolling out even more product updates and range expansions. Because at Ardeca, we believe in continuous improvement — for you, and for the engines of tomorrow.
