June 25, 2015.
 The Petroleum Quality Institute of America (PQIA) is pleased to announce that Petro-Canada Lubricants, a Suncor business, has joined to support PQIA's efforts in assuring the quality and integrity of lubricants in the market.
Petro-Canada Lubricants manufactures and markets over 350 premium quality lubricants, specialty fluids and greases to meet the needs of many of the world's leading companies in virtually every industry in more than 70 countries around the globe. The company is also one of the world's largest producers of pharmaceutical white oils.
 "We welcome the opportunity to support the Petroleum Quality Institute of America and their efforts to protect consumers by driving positive change in our industry," says Howard McIntyre, vice president, Lubricants, Suncor. "In addition to detecting poor quality and obsolete and off-spec motor oils, PQIA's testing and reporting acknowledges the good products in the market, including the high quality products produced by Petro-Canada Lubricants and other quality minded major and independent lubricant manufacturers."
Thomas Glenn, President of PQIA says "We welcome Petro-Canada Lubricants support and are encouraged another major oil company has joined Chevron, CITGO, and Phillips 66 to support PQIA's efforts to help assure the quality and integrity of lubricants in the marketplace. While it is clear we still face challenges with poor quality off-spec engine oils and other lubricants in the market, it is with the help of quality minded companies like Petro-Canada Lubricants and our other supporters that we are able to continue our work to do something about it."
PQIA systematically tests motor oils and other lubricants sold in the US market and reports to the consuming public on how well these brands comply with claims made for them by their marketers. To date, PQIA has identified over 20 different brands of packaged motor oils and ATFs on retail shelves that can cause damage to car engines or transmissions. In addition, dozens more brands have been found that fail a claimed specification or are labeled with false or misleading claims.
