Oil Container Labels: Notes

The American Petroleum Institute (API) logo is a circle divided into three sections. The top half of the circle is the "API Service" section, which is used to indicate the quality of the oil. The lower half of the circle is the "Energy Conservation" section, which indicates the oil's degree of fuel efficiency. The center of the circle is the "Viscosity" section, which is used to indicate the viscosity of the oil. The oil container should have a "Starburst" label instead of the doughnut shaped symbol.
