5W-20
5W-30 |
5W-20 & 5W-30 are the most popular viscosities. 5W-20 is preferred by Ford & most older Asian makes. Chrysler and older GM prefer 5W-30. Current performance specifications are API SN & ILSAC GF-5. |
| HYBRIDS & ASIAN ENGINES |
0W-20
Full Synthetic |
Hybrids & newer Toyota, Honda, & Mazda engines require 0W-20 because the clearances inside newer engines are so small. A Really thin oil is needed to lubricate all the moving parts. 0W-20 will maximize engine life, performance, and fule mileage. |
| EUROPEAN |
5W-40
Full Synthetic |
Most European cars require either a 0W-40 or 5W-40 full synthetic engine oil. ACEA 08 is the newest European specificaiton. Always check your service manual for the correct viscosity. |
| DIESEL |
10W-30
15W-40
CJ-4 |
Make sure you have the latest specification for your truck. CJ-4 is the latest standard. Newer diesel engines also require Diesel Exhaust Fluid to maximize fuel mileage and cut down on harmful exhaust fumes. |
| GENERAL MOTORS |
5W-30
dexos1 |
The difference between 5W-30 and 5W-30 dexos1 is the quality standard General Motors requires for their vehicles since 2011. The dexo1 specification is a higher standard than API SN or ISLAC GF-5 and has synthetic properties. |
