Leveraging relationships: Using the EB-OEM products and and feeding off these to sell SGA oils into the market. OEM's stipulate products which meet a certain standard and you can use this standard as a leverage to gain a foothold within the market to sell your comparative product.

You may have a SAE/SGA 15w40 oil recommended for an engine make by the OEM, using this same standard, your grade of oil could be of an equivalent or higher rating, giving you the ability to sell your oil to service agents who service this engine, this is leverage selling/marketing.

I have seen it on oil bottles, but here it is only listed for Grease.

I am not sure of the specification but it has something to do with Synthetic Gear application grease and oils..

maybe if you put up some more text I will be able to make sure... or email it to me if you wish it to be confidential.

Notes to answerer
Asker: Can you provide references for using this acronym along those lines. The two links that you have provided refer to brand names. You have also referred to SAE/SGA in your note, but I cannot find this synonymous mention of those two terms anywhere else. SAE (Society for Automotive Engineers) standards are well known, but I cannot find the term SGA used in that same context anywhere. Can you provide your source of information as a reference? Thank you, Gary.

selling, general and administrative (SGA) costs


Explanation:
selling, general and administrative (SGA) costs

Acquisitions should also lead to lower selling, general and administrative (SGA) costs, McNamara says. At Solectron they did not. Solectron's SGA costs were $172 million in its May quarter, and Flextronics' were $116 million in its June quarter. McNamara says Solectron may never achieve SGA savings with the call center, because it is so different from its core business.
