ILSAC GF-7

The passenger vehicle market continues to evolve, with the industry seeking to lower emissions and improve fuel efficiency. On top of that—OEMs need lubricants that still play the essential role of protecting hardware.

ILSAC GF-7 represents the latest set of lubricant requirements for passenger cars in North America. These requirements are expected to deliver improved fuel economy, protection against low-speed pre-ignition (LSPI), as well as reduced piston deposits and timing chain wear.

GF-7 is effective for vehicle model years 2027 to 2032 and will aid in the industry’s efforts to reduce emissions and meet EPA standards. The first licensing for this specification began in March 2025. This relatively tight timing compared to historical specification upgrades challenged oil marketers to secure the available testing necessary to license products.

GF-7 is here. Are you ready?
