How different are the engine designs that require this many specifications?
I may have some gas, diesel and obsolete specs mixed in below but I'm also sure I have missed many as well.
Can't manufacturers get together and come up with some limited number of specs not to confuse the consumer? or it is entirely a money making machine? Licensing, etc.
Before joining bitog, when it came to engine oil, I don't recall paying attention to the specifications as long as the viscosity grade was what I wanted ... Not saying it was a good idea but do we really need this many specjfications?
