How high is the certification threshold for automotive OEMs
The certification threshold for lubricating oil products by automobile manufacturers is extremely high, and most manufacturers' certification standards are based on ACEA testing standards and include their own internal testing.
By obtaining certification from the host factory, the engine oil is sent to the host factory for various tests and standards, including high and low temperature performance, oil pressure retention, black sludge dispersion, fuel economy, and more than 30 bench tests. If any of the data does not meet the standards, the oil cannot obtain manufacturer certification.
That is to say, even if the product passes the ACEA certification standards, it may not necessarily be able to obtain certification from the host factory smoothly. Undoubtedly, the cutting-edge brands in the industry can obtain certification from the host factory.
