K1 Lube GX SQ
K1 Lube GX SQ
Superior grade gasoline engine oil for Maximum performance
Description
The introduction of API SQ happens concurrently with the establishment of ILSAC GF-7 criteria, produced by the International Lubricants
Standardization and Approval Committee. While API and ILSAC standards usually maintain close coordination—as seen with API SQ and GF-7—API SQ will specifically handle very low viscosity ranges excluded from GF-7's scope. Owners of vehicles using GF-6 and API SP oils can expect full compatibility when transitioning to either GF-7 or API SQ products.

Applications
• Improved fuel economy by including ultra-low viscosity oils such as SAE 0W-8, 0W-12.
• Enhanced Engine Protection: improved engine protection performance including prevention of timing chain wear,
prevention of low-speed pre-ignition (LSPI), and suppression of piston deposits.
• Reduced emissions: extends the life of gasoline particulate filters (GPFs) and reduces emissions by limiting SA (sulfated ash) to 0.9%.
• Enhanced suitability for hybrid vehicles.
Performance standards
• API SQ-RC, ILSAC GF-7A
Customer benefits
Timing Chain Wear Protection
Advanced additives protect timing chain against wear so that they may reduce power loss of engine and increase the life time of engine parts.
LSPI Prevention
Detergent additives containing magnesium efficiently restrain LSPI (Low Speed Pre-Ignition) that could damage T-GDI engines.
Enhanced Fuel Efficiency
Specifically designed anti friction additives minimize engine friction losses and improve fuel efficiency.
High Quality VHVI Base Stock
Superior low temperature properties of Group III base oil make the startup of engines easy at low temperature. Excellent thermal stability and oxidation stability of VHVI base oil protect suppress oil degradation and sludge formation inside engine.
