Just look on the quart oil bottle and you will see a series of letters
(usually). These are the API codes given to that particular grade and brand of
oil. As oils get upgraded such as being able to use in diesels or for cars
with turbochargers, etc., they add new codes. SJ will be one of the two letter
codes.

Hmmm,, okay. Now to sound *really* stupid. If I go to my local auto
parts
supplier and ask for API service SJ oil, are they going to know what I
mean?
Is there a specific name brand, or is this a grade all suppliers
provide? And,
is there other questions they will ask me,, like, what weight, etc......
