5W-40 OIL : IS IT RIGHT FOR YOUR CAR?

ALL MOTOR OIL IS RATED BASED ON ITS VISCOSITY, OR RESISTANCE TO FLOW, AND HOW IT PERFORMS AT TEMPERATURE EXTREMES. 5W-40 OIL IS SUITED TO A BROAD RANGE OF TEMPERATURES, but outperforms at higher temperatures, making it the oil of choice for higher performance vehicles, or in regions with a higher ambient temperature.

WHAT IS 5W-40 OIL?

5W-40 engine oil is extremely adaptable, handling a wide range of temperatures and maintaining its efficacy both in low winter temperatures and when operating in hotter environments.

“W” stands for winter. The number before the “W” signifies the viscosity of an oil at low temperatures and the number following the “W” indicates its viscosity at normal operating temperatures when the engine is running. The 5 number indicates that the oil is thin at low temperatures and better able to operate in cold start and icy conditions.

HOW IS 5W-40 DIFFERENT FROM OTHER OILS?

Fully synthetic 5W-40 engine oils deliver outstanding performance and protection across a wide temperature range. If you are working with a very powerful engine or operating at higher temperatures with higher loads a 5W-40 will be better suited to your needs than a 5W 30 engine oil.

5W-40 oils are likely to be used in engines that have higher operating temperatures and loads than the norm – those driven in urban environments, that commonly sit in traffic or driven at particularly

high speeds, for example. If your vehicle is not designed to be driven in a high-performance manner, or you drive at a more considered pace, 5w30 oils are a good choice.

WHEN SHOULD I USE 5W-40 OIL?

You should always use the oil recommended by your vehicle’s manufacturer. However, 5W-40 oil can function in temperatures as low as -30ºC and as high as 50ºC, making it an ideal choice if you drive your car in a place with high seasonal temperature variations.
