Leading the way in defining fuel requirements for today's engines

Why become a TOP TIER™ OEM Sponsor?

OEMs created and continue to oversee and monitor the TOP TIER™ Fuel Program and its effectiveness. The Program is a collaboration between vehicle manufacturers (OEM Sponsors) and industry partners intended to create a winning situation for all: OEMs, fuel retailers and, most importantly, vehicle owners.

Recognized quality, reliable performance, satisfied customers.

Through the TOP TIER™ Programs, Sponsors are able to create and recommend a standard by which they can make fuel quality improvements to meet the demands of everchanging engine technology. Fuel retailers voluntarily join the Program to be recognized for supplying fuel that meets the TOP TIER™ requirements. The vehicle or equipment operator ultimately benefits when critical components of the engine stay cleaner and performance-reducing deposits are kept at a minimum. Vehicle customer satisfaction is the ultimate goal of the TOP TIER™ Program.
