Motor oil is derived from crude oil and serves to lubricate, clean, and cool engines.
Types of motor oil consist of conventional, synthetic, diesel, bio-based, hybrid (blends of conventional and synthetic), and recycled oils.
Motor oil differs in weight and viscosity, along with additives that some manufacturers incorporate during the refining process.
A numerical code system established by the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) classifies motor oils based on viscosity; the higher the number between 0 and 60, the thicker the oil.
Most consumer motor oils are rated by two numbers, with the first number denoting cold weather (Winter or 'W') performance.
With a weight of SAE 5W-30, this oil has an SAE viscosity rating of 5 in cold conditions and a rating of 30 at standard operating temperature.
This oil is fully synthetic, indicating that crude oil is not utilized in its production.
Synthetic oil frequently offers superior mechanical performance compared to traditional motor oil, including enhanced gas mileage and reduced engine wear in extreme temperatures.
Its intricate production process often results in a higher cost than conventional motor oil.
Royal Purple HPS Series motor oil is specifically designed to maximize performance and fulfill the requirements of high performance and modified engines.
Fortified with a high level of zinc/phosphorus anti-wear additive and proprietary Synerlec additive technology, this unique blend surpasses leading synthetics and conventional lubricants.
Available viscosities consist of 5W-20, 5W-30, 10W-30, 10W-40, and 20W-50.
HPS is recommended for vehicles that are no longer under manufacturer warranty and for those pursuing a higher level of performance and protection.
Royal Purple's HPS Series motor oil reacts to increased pressure with increased viscosity.
Its advanced additive technologies, such as Synerlec, enhance the condition of metal-to-metal contact under severe conditions for greater protection.
