Why Motor Oil Matters

Motor Oil Matters Has One Goal: To Make Sure You Receive High-Quality Motor Oil

Motor Oil Matters (MOM) is a program from the American Petroleum Institute (API) that will help you identify motor oil distributors and oil change locations that provide API-quality motor oil. The MOM mark is the sign you’re receiving a high-quality product that meets API performance requirements.

The program is designed for everyone that has an interest in oil quality— motor oil marketers, distributors, oil change locations and consumers. API already licenses oil marketers and manufacturers that meet API performance requirements and is now accepting licensing applications from distributors and installers. To join, distributors click here and installers click here.

If you think your local oil change location installs API-quality oil, tell us where they’re located. We’ll make sure they know about MOM.
