This document compares the requirements for ILSAC GF-5, API SN, and API SN Resource Conserving motor oils. ILSAC GF-5 and API SN Resource Conserving oils must pass a 1-minute foam test, contain 0.06-0.08% phosphorus, and meet limits for TEOST MHT-4 and TEOST 33C tests. API SN oils have less stringent requirements, allowing a 10-minute foam test and higher TEOST limits.
