I'm Googling around for API SJ energy conserving oil and fining nothing. Not
at NAPA, Checker or Autozone.

Who sells it?

Re: Energy conserving oil



SJ is hard to find because it is an outdated standard.  Your owner's manual
probably says something like "use SJ or higher."

The way the oil standards work, the higher in the alphabet the second letter
is, the more current the standard is.  The standards are set so they
supersede previous standards.

I believe that the current standard is SM, so SM supersedes and replaces SL,
which replaces SJ.

Bottom line, look for and use SM.  If SN or SP comes out in the future, use
that.

You're welcome!  The method for lettering the standards is not explained in
owner's manuals, something that IMO should be included.
