Hello BITOG Members,
Pennzoil here! This time, we are joined by the American Petroleum Institute (API) to welcome members to another virtual community event and as always, continue conversation around some of the automotive industry’s trending topics. In collaboration with API, we are inviting members to join a Q&A related to motor oil specifications. This November, Pennzoil Scientist and Automotive Lubricant Specialist, Sean Nguyen, and Senior Manager of Engine Oil Licensing and Certification System, Diesel Exhaust Fluid and Motor Oil Matters at API, Jeff Harmening, will be responding to questions regarding the following topics:
Jeff Harmening has been with the API since 2010 and currently manages the Engine Oil Licensing Certification System (EOLCS) program, Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF) Certification Program and the Motor Oil Matters (MOM) program. He also oversees the Aftermarket Audit Program (AMAP) which purchases and tests thousands of DEF and engine oil samples globally to ensure conformance with required specifications.
The thread will be open for submissions from 12:00 PM ET on Monday, October 31st until 6:00 PM ET on Monday, November 7th. Both the Pennzoil team and API will work together to provide answers to your questions – you can keep an eye out for the responses to be posted in a separate thread on Thursday, December 1st.
Both API and the Pennzoil team are excited to kick off this opportunity! Please note:
