Yesterday, Toyota announced the formation of the International Fluids Consortium (IFC) during SAE International’s virtual World Congress. Led by a group of automakers, the consortium intends to develop international automotive fluid performance specifications that will supplant those developed by the American Petroleum Institute (API), European Automobile Manufacturers’ Association (ACEA) and the Japanese Automotive Standards Organization (JASO). IFC also will administer a licensing program for its specifications.
