Did Royal Purple lose their API certification?

I bought a case of Royal Purple back in May. The last bottle from that case is on the right in the pic. Notice on the lower left of the label on that bottle, it has an American Petroleum Institute seal of Certification. The other bottle (the one on the left), I bought a couple of days ago. NOWHERE on the bottle has that seal. Only the front labels on the bottles are different; only the front has changed. So, my question is: Did RP lose their API certification, thus causing them to change the label? Of the things my owner's manual for my truck specifies, using oil that has that seal is one of them. I guess I won't be using any more of it after this, unless the get their certification back.

You probably better ask someone over at BITOG.

Alright I emailed RP, and they said everything is kosher, and sent me this link to verify it http://eolcs.api.org/DisplayLicenseInfo.asp?LicenseNo=0777

I'm glad you found that out, because I just 6 quarts of that in my truck too.
