Oil spec checker
A bottle can have the right viscosity and still miss the approval your engine requires. Enter the grade and specs from the manual, optionally paste the manual oil section for hints, then select the labels printed on the bottle.

Common label cues
- API Donut
- Back-label mark that lists service category and viscosity.
- Starburst
- Front-label mark for eligible ILSAC fuel-economy oils such as GF-7A.
- Shield
- Mark for eligible low-viscosity 0W-16 ILSAC oils such as GF-7B.
- OEM approval
- Brand-specific approval like dexos, VW, MB, BMW, Ford, Honda, or Porsche.
This checker is conservative. It does not read photos, certify oil, infer approvals, or treat a related spec as an exact match.
