Actually European products like engine oil don't require API but ACEA.

That's true. But API is bigger and more well known globally. And besides, ACEA is self certification, not independent like API. So if you ask me, API > ACEA.
And if you're selling the oil why don't you come out in the open and say it instead of replying everyone's questions about the oil when you are the one who started the question thread

Look, i don't mean to be difficult. But with statements like : "We reserve the right to alter the general characteristics of our product in order to let our customers benefit of the latest technical evolutions"
in their technical sheet (

This is why API certification is important. They can't just simply change the formulation just because they want to.
