Back of oil bottle...what does this info mean?

[George Farra]

I have a bottle of ChevronTexaco Havoline 10w-30 oil. On the back is the following infomation:

API Service
SL, SJ, SH
ILSAC GF-3/GF-2

What does all this mean?

Thanks,

George

Since your bottle says, "ChevronTexaco", it means you bought the "right" Havoline...
