Motor oil is derived from crude oil and is utilized to lubricate, clean, and cool engines.
Types of motor oil include conventional, synthetic, diesel, bio-based, hybrid (blends of conventional and synthetic), and recycled oils.
Motor oil varies in viscosity and weight, along with additives that some manufacturers incorporate during the refining process.
A numerical code system established by the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) grades motor oils based on viscosity; the higher the number between 0 and 60, the thicker the oil.
Most consumer motor oils are graded by two numbers, with the first number indicating cold weather (Winter or 'W') performance.
This oil has a weight of SAE 5W-20, indicating an SAE viscosity rating of 5 in cold temperatures and a rating of 20 at normal operating temperature.
Always verify that this is the correct weight of motor oil for your vehicle by checking your vehicle's owner's manual.
This oil is fully synthetic; it is not made from crude oil.
Synthetic oil can be utilized in vehicle engines instead of motor oils refined from crude oil and often offers superior mechanical performance, including increased gas mileage and reduced engine wear at extreme temperatures.
Its complex production method often results in a higher cost compared to conventional motor oil.
