In April 2000, Japans Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport enacted a low-emissions certification
system in order to promote the
use of automobiles with reduced emissions. Under this system, low-viscosity motor oils are recommended
for use in low-emission vehicles (LEVs), which are designed for good fuel economy and good environmental performance.
Since the system's adoption, automobile makers have been increasing their production of LEVs,
and LEVs are now marked with the stickers shown below.
ENEOS Motor Oil 0W20 is an environmentally
friendly gasoline motor oil that provides extremely good fuel economy.
Blended with organic molybdenum
friction-reducing additives, this oil minimizes engine friction and has a very low viscosity of 0W-20.
