It is generally accepted that the smaller the number on the package with engine oil, the more guaranteed synthetics will come across. The fact that synthetics can also be of poor quality is a fact, but the fact that with the numbers 0w-20 there may not be synthetics at all is also a fact.
For example, Toyota hydrocracking oil is a high-quality excellent product, but it has nothing to do with a synthetic base. Therefore, indicators for the use of 0w20 motor oils, also called super-liquid, are quite limited.
Basically, these oils are suitable for the Japanese automotive industry, and in European and American cars they are used only for cars and other racing options.
The modification of the engine of such cars is complex and the torque is so high that in a second the speed can develop to “supersonic”, respectively, the oil lubricant for such moments must have superfluidity, while maintaining it, both at high temperatures and at low ones.
Despite the fact that the SAE abbreviation tells us about all-weather use and a wide temperature range of motor lubricants, I would like to note that 0w20 oils are still classified as winter oils.
- In the summer, of course, you can not change them, but the consistency of the liquid will begin to resemble water with poor engine cooling, and such oil will drain instantly, without providing the proper lubricating effect to all parts and assemblies of the power unit.
- In winter, 0w20 oils retain perfect fluidity and should be used when the thermometer is below 20 degrees. We are not talking about viscosity in this aspect, since all 0w20 grade lubricants are low-viscosity.
Is there a relationship between the two parameters - fluidity and viscosity? Eat. But it is very complex and requires no calculation. If you wish, you can find free time and calculate. but take my word for it, with high fluidity, the viscosity will never be high.
Accordingly, such engine oils are used for quick pumping in cold weather, so that the engine does not rub against itself during a cold start, but immediately receives full lubrication.
When the engine temperature reaches the operating temperature, then any oil can show itself not bad, the moment of starting is important.
Does the manufacturer matter or are all 0w20 oils the same?
Of course, the manufacturer of any engine oil is a determining factor. And the quality here directly depends on the additives and on the basis with which this or that 0w20 product was made.
For example, synthetic oils from European brands have proven themselves in all weather conditions. But here's one bad luck, there is no 0w-20 marking on Europeans' native oils, everything starts from 0w-30. Why ask you? Climatic conditions dictate the niche of consumption. The winter threshold is without practical restrictions, but for the summer 20 is not enough. This is where the formula of additives and bases begins to act - the higher the second digit on the engine oil, the thicker it becomes in the heat, and is able to provide high-quality lubrication of engine parts, and not drain with water.
The second factor for the European "thirty" is the modification of the engine and cooling system.
The cylinder block, pipes and other important components do not have such subtle moments as on Japanese cars, so 0w30 oils can easily pass and lubricate parts of the components and parts, reliably protecting them from corrosion and other troubles.
The Japanese car industry and some American sports car models are characterized by narrow channels. In this case, 0w-30 class motor oils may not be suitable, since the crankshaft will turn very tight, which will accordingly absorb engine power, and will not release additional horsepower, and such oil will not be able to act as a full-fledged coolant.
Accordingly, all car manufacturers write recommendations on the use of certain parameters in the service book, and if you got a car with characteristics for a low 0w20 engine, then it is worth pouring it, regardless of which continent the car came from. After all, no one has yet canceled transnational corporations that produce their cars around the world, while maintaining their own developments.
Toyota 0w-20 engine oil, which is available for Japanese cars and is also suitable for many other cars of various brands, is one of the best products in its viscosity segment. This is not to say that 0w-20 is widely popular in Russia, since more successful marketing campaigns have managed to push Japanese oil. But from this, the composition does not cease to be of high quality and relevant for many cars.
You should study in detail the characteristics of Toyota 0w-20 oil and consider its purpose. This will allow you to understand in what situations it is worth using such a motor fluid, and how relevant it is for certain regions of our country.
A little about the manufacturer
An impressive part of motorists are sure that it is the Japanese company that produces oils under the Toyota brand. This is not entirely true.
The Japanese automaker is working closely with a leading petrochemical manufacturer. By agreement, the entire line of motor oils is produced by this company.
We are talking about Exxon Mobil. This is a world famous brand that positions itself as a manufacturer of high quality automotive products. They proved their words in practice.
Exxon specializes in the production of original oils for leading Japanese brands, including:
Therefore, identifying Toyota 0w-20 engine oil with the automaker itself is not entirely correct. But the main thing here is that the composition has excellent quality and excellent technical characteristics. This allows you to use grease for refueling engines of various modern cars and. It all depends on the correspondence between the requirements of the vehicle and the properties of the engine oil.
Properties, tolerances and characteristics
This composition has its own important features. Some call the composition synthetic. This is a little misleading. In fact, Toyota 0w-20 oil is made by deep catalytic hydrocracking.
This approach allows you to get a cheaper product compared to, but its technical characteristics are not at all inferior to synthetics. This is the closest oil in terms of parameters to synthetic fluids.
A special production technology and an additive package allowed the oil to obtain tolerances and full compliance with the requirements of Euro 5. This indicates excellent quality and unique technical characteristics of 0w-20
This composition has exceptional fluidity, which contributes to the creation of a high-strength thin film on the surface of rubbing parts in the engine. As you know, all motor oils, given their viscosity properties, are divided into three categories:
- winter;
- summer;
- all-weather.
Toyota 0w-20 oil is an all-weather oil, if you look at its description. It has a low-temperature and high-temperature fluidity level, due to which the oil behaves equally effectively in summer and winter.
American experts, testing engine fluid according to API specifications, assigned this product a high SN category. Also, Toyota 0w-20 fluid was tested by the Japanese classifier (ILSAC), in which the composition received the highest performance of the GF5 class.
All this suggests that the oil has the following technical characteristics and properties:
- the composition is used for the most advanced and modern modifications of power plants;
- suitable for multi-valve engines;
- perfectly shows itself in work;
- has a low content of components such as sulfate ash, phosphorus and sulfur;
- the lubricant interacts well with modern cleaning systems;
- suitable for vehicles with advanced exhaust aftertreatment systems installed.
Given all the specifications and tolerances presented, we can talk about Toyota 0w-20 as an oil with excellent capabilities.
Characterized by high heat resistance, the composition is relevant for all-weather use. The temperature range is from -35 to +20 degrees Celsius.
From this we conclude that for individual regions located closer to the south, 0w-20 is not entirely suitable as an all-season. An increase in air temperature above +25 degrees Celsius implies a transition to compositions more adapted to hot summers. Toyota has such solutions in its assortment.
Engine oil features
With regard to Toyota 0w-20 oils, several of their main properties are distinguished, which make it possible to consider such compositions as one of the best.
This is an objectively optimal solution for cars of a Japanese company, including Toyota and Lexus. But this composition is also suitable for other machines.
The following main properties of the oil are distinguished:
- Easy start of the power plant, regardless of weather conditions. Even the composition copes with its tasks, minimizing the damage caused to the engine due to cold start.
- Effective protection in extreme frosts. Oil is able to remove heat from engine elements, pump through the entire system and envelop engine parts.
- washing properties. This helps to keep the power unit clean. Such a lubricant from Toyota does not allow soot, soot and other formations to form on the internal surfaces of the engine. The oil helps in the removal of toxins and sludge.
- Energy saving additives. An important component in the composition of engine oil, due to which it is possible to increase the efficiency of combustion of the fuel mixture and improve fuel consumption.
- The presence of molybdenum disulfide. This is a significant additive in engine oil, which allows you to protect the power unit from premature wear. This extends the life of the engine, increases the service interval.
- Antioxidant properties. Another complex of additives allows the oil to remain resistant to oxidation. It also helps to increase the period between oil changes in the engine, retains the protective properties and maintains the physico-chemical characteristics of the fluid.
This is not a good marketing ploy from Toyota. All declared properties are true, which has been confirmed by numerous studies, tests and the experience of ordinary motorists.
Advantages and disadvantages
Let's say right away that looking for obvious flaws in original Toyota oils, including Toyota 0w-20 engine oil, is a rather pointless exercise.
But there is such a nuance as the presence of counterfeit products on the market. Because of it, the reputation of the oils of the Japanese company deteriorates somewhat. Although in fact, if you can distinguish and buy real motor fluids, there will be no problems with the engine.
Therefore, the main focus is on the benefits. These include:
- protection against premature engine wear;
- adaptation of the oil to different operating conditions;
- ability to resist pollution;
- antioxidant and anticorrosive properties;
- the ability to operate in difficult conditions and under extreme loads;
- rich set of specialized high quality additives;
- fuel economy;
- ensuring uninterrupted operation of the engine under load;
- oil compliance with all international quality standards;
- high temperature resistance;
- damage protection;
- extension of the interval between lubricant changes in cars;
- the possibility of using the composition for cars of different brands;
- low viscosity;
- protection against the formation of foam even under the condition of a sharp temperature drop and pressure change;
- instant creation of a dense oil film on the surfaces of the internal elements of the engine;
- the ability to seep into the most inaccessible places of the motor that need lubrication;
- property to increase the efficiency of the power plant;
- anti-burning characteristics;
- effective protection against counterfeiting (concerns to a greater extent metallized packages from Japan).
All this allows you to fill the engine with a very high-quality composition that will provide multi-level protection for your engine.
Forms of release and articles
For consumers, there are several packaging options for Toyota 0w-20 branded engine oil:
The first positions are aimed at private customers who buy motor fluid specifically for their car. Larger containers are intended, rather, for commercial organizations such as service stations, dealerships, car services offering professional oil change services.
It is important to buy exclusively original packaging. This will avoid counterfeit products, the quality of which leaves much to be desired.
Use original part numbers to search. In the case of a liter metal canister, this is the code 08880-10506. If you need a capacity of 4 liters, then the article you are looking for has the designation 08880-10505.
Remember that real Toyota branded motor oil cannot be cheap. The average price for a package of 4 liters is currently about 3 thousand rubles. If you see that you are offered to buy a canister of the same volume for 2000 - 2500 rubles, there is a high probability that you have a fake in front of you.
Which cars are suitable for
Since this oil is produced under the Toyota brand, it is logical to assume that the lubricant is suitable for two brands of the Japanese company:
- Toyota;
In addition to these passenger cars, crossovers and SUVs, including turbocharged versions, oil can be used for:
Each of the presented automakers has its own original lubricants that they recommend to their customers. The only question is that some of them are more expensive compared to oils from Toyota (Exxon). Therefore, it is not so rare for car owners to switch to alternative solutions, trusting the products of a well-known Japanese company.
Manufacturers do not just advise using only original formulations for their machines. These are specially designed motor fluids that fully comply with all the characteristics and features of a particular vehicle. Using analogues, you always take a potential risk. Even if it's from a well-known brand.
Owners of Toyota and Lexus cars should only use Toyota 0w-20 engine oil or a composition with another suitable viscosity. The experience of motorists has clearly proven that only with these fluids do engines behave most well, do not provoke any problems over a long period of operation. But the final choice is yours.
Original versus fake
If you study the entire range of Toyota engine oils, you will easily notice one pattern. Some of the oil containers are made of metal, while others are made of plastic.
This allows you to determine exactly what kind of production a particular container is. If the canister is metal, then you have a full-fledged Japanese lubricant produced in factories in this country. 0w-20 from Japan is considered a more attractive choice in terms of its safety. The thing is that the Japanese provide five-level protection against fakes for metal cans and liter cans. When buying such oils, you can be almost 100% sure that you have the original motor fluid in front of you.
Plastic containers are used in European production. They are produced in Italy and France. The problem with the plastic canister is that it's pretty easy to fake. Therefore, the bulk of counterfeit products manufactured under the name Toyota 0w-20 is in plastic.
There are several characteristic signs with which you can independently identify a fake. Just show a little patience and care. Examine the canister and take a look at the main components of the container.
- Manufacturing material. If you have an original plastic container in your hands, you will feel the smoothness, absence of roughness and the high quality of each seam. If there are rough surfaces, teeth or burrs on the containers, put the canister in place and go to another store. Also remember that the original canisters cannot be transparent. Even minor defects that sellers attribute to an easy factory defect will become a potential signal for you about fake products. It's not worth the risk.
- Label. It is enough to know what the original sticker on the plastic container should be. It is made of high quality material, has a medium-sized font that is easy to read. Each letter and symbol is clearly visible, there are no traces of paint leakage. The picture is rich, bright and uniform. If you have a well-made plastic canister in front of you, but the label does not match the given characteristics, then this is a fake.
- Cork. All original plastic packages with oil are closed with branded stoppers. They are distinguished by the presence of embossing and an arrow that shows where to rotate the lid to open it. The plastic itself is homogeneous, without damage and roughness.
- Price. This is the easiest way to detect counterfeit products. Very often, scammers, trying to quickly sell the goods and get money, until the fact of a fake has been revealed, reduce the prices of products. It becomes noticeably lower than the average market indicators. This should be alarming, since such a motor lubricant as Toyota 0w-20 simply cannot be cheap.
If you doubt that you are buying oil in the original plastic canister, it is better to play it safe, look for other stores and ask experienced car owners for advice.
The best solution would be to buy Japanese-made oil, that is, in metal cans or cans. But the problem is that such oil is not available everywhere. It has to be ordered via the Internet, it takes a long time to wait for delivery. Although there is a possibility of counterfeiting a metal can, it is much lower than the plastic European version, and tends to almost zero.
The automaker Toyota is known to all, without exception, Russian motorists. This industrial giant supplies products to 120 countries around the world. For the engines of their cars, Toyota, together with the American-Japanese company Exxon Mobil Yugen Kaisha Co. develops and manufactures motor oils that are used for Lexus, Toyota, Honda cars.
Deciphering viscosity 0W20
motor lubricantToyota 0w20has exceptional fluidity, creating a strong but thin oil film. According to the international specification SAE J300, developed by US engineers, there are summer, winter and all-weather viscosity of oil formulations. Viscosity is divided into kinematic and dynamic. The level of kinematic viscosity is defined as the ability to quickly get through the engine lubrication system to the surfaces of parts, as well as the ability to crank the engine at low temperatures.
The minimum kinematic viscosity is determined at temperatures of 40°C and 100°C. It is measured in the classical way, using viscometers. The time of leakage of a certain volume of oil liquid through a calibrated hole is measured. The dynamic coefficient of ductility is the friction force between two surfaces that are 0.01 m apart from each other, when moving relative to each other at a speed of 0.01 m / s. The gap between them (0.01 m) is filled with the tested oil. This indicator is measured at a temperature of +150°C.
The 0W20 marking means that the lubricating compound has a low-temperature (winter) viscosity index of 0W, as well as a high-temperature (summer) fluidity level of 20. This means that such engine oil is multigrade. According to the table, the minimum temperature at which the engine will start normally will be -35°C.
This is the lowest level for modern automotive oils. For summer level 20, the grease should be the least viscous of all that are available today. At the same time, the oil should not lose its "zero" viscosity at temperatures from +150 to +250°C in a running engine.
The minimum viscosity implies the creation of the thinnest lubricating film. At the same time, it must be strong, not torn. This is not an easy task. Toyota 0w20 grease is intended for new engines in which the gaps between the rubbing surfaces are minimal. This substance is able to quickly penetrate the engine parts through the narrowest channels. Thus, the engine will not experience oil "starvation" in the first seconds after a cold start, which prevents its wear.
Toyota engine oils
Toyota cars are known all over the world as reliable and comfortable vehicles. Their performance characteristics are at a high level. The engines of these vehicles have their own design features. This means that the engine oil must be adapted to such engines as much as possible. That is why they require special consumables for their maintenance - such as Toyota 0w20 oil.
The specialists of the Japanese automaker know the features of their engines, and the engineers of the American corporation ExxonMobil know how to make a good, relatively inexpensive lubricant for them. That is why they have united their efforts, which are bearing good fruit.
The base stock for these oils is a product resulting from the application of deep catalytic hydrocracking technology. In terms of its characteristics, such a base is as close as possible to synthetic oils obtained from light hydrocarbons by synthesis. At the same time, hydrocracking is cheaper than synthetics; it is produced from oil.
Despite this, the cost of this oil is higher than that of its counterparts in terms of viscosity characteristics from other manufacturers - for example, Motul, ZIC. This is because Toyota Motors recommends that only lubricants of the same name be poured into their cars, because they use unique additive packages. So the owners of Toyota and Lexus cars have nowhere to go, they have to use what the automaker recommends.
Toyota SAE 0w20 oil fully complies with the Euro 5 standard. It can only be filled in engines marked 1 NZ or 1 ZZ.
Main properties and characteristics
Today, in the Russian auto chemical goods market, you can find Toyota engine oil of Japanese and European production. The Japanese pour 0W20 grease into metal cans. This greatly complicates the fake, so there are practically no falsifications with lubricants from Japan.
Another thing is plastic canisters from Europe. Here, counterfeiting is common due to the relative ease of forging canisters. When buying this oil, you need to be very careful. You can not buy it in the markets from dubious sellers. This should be done only in trusted specialized stores that value their reputation.
There are several basic properties inherent in Toyota brand 0w20 oil fluid:
- the lubricant composition is applied to the latest engine modifications, including turbocharged and multi-valve;
- has a low content of sulfur, phosphorus and sulphated ash (Low SAPS);
- fully compatible with the latest exhaust purification and neutralization systems.
The choice of engine oil for a modern car can confuse even an experienced owner, not to mention a novice driver.
The main difficulty lies in how to understand the markings on the packaging of engine oil, which contain numbers and letters indicating fluidity and viscosity parameters - from 0w-20 onwards.
Many motorists tend to believe that the minimum first digit is a guarantee that they have synthetic motor oil in front of them. And following this logic, the higher it is, the more likely it is to buy semi-synthetics or even mineral oil.
But this opinion is erroneous, since fuels and lubricants with a viscosity grade of SAE 0w-20 are not at all pure synthetics from many manufacturers, but a high-quality hydrocracked oil with high fluidity.
The secret of the SAE classification of fuels and lubricants is that this indicator demonstrates the characteristics of the oil at certain temperatures, that is, its viscosity and fluidity.
Oil with the letter W at the beginning is an all-weather product. However, when choosing, you still need to pay attention to the following numbers. So, the first digit shows the optimum temperature at which the lubricant in the engine will work best. The second digit is an indicator of the viscosity of fuel and lubricants when the engine reaches operating temperature. That is, the higher the second number, the thicker the oil will be.
So, based on the above, we now know that the SAE 0w-20 marking tells us that we have a multigrade oil with a temperature range of -30 to +15 ° with a minimum viscosity.
Experts remind that the degree of viscosity of engine oil for a particular engine must be selected based on factors such as ambient temperature, engine design features, its degree of wear and the prevailing mode of operation.
Many attentive motorists are surprised to find that the leading motor oil manufacturers who sell their products in Europe do not have the 0w-20 marking. As a result, they begin to suspect that 0w-20 is a fake. However, it is not.
The bottom line is that SAE 0w-20 grease has rather specific characteristics and can only be used up to + 15 ° C, after this temperature it becomes too liquid for most cars, except perhaps Japanese cars or racing cars. These vehicles have a special motor structure, which just the same requires a high fluidity of the lubricant for operation due to the compression ratio and torque.
In this regard, 0w-20 engine oil is more suitable for winter use, since at low temperatures it remains fluid and does not freeze, which allows the engine to start easily even in severe frost. It will also reduce engine wear at such moments.
As for most civilian cars, their engines are not as productive and demanding, which is why most manufacturers begin to produce 5w-30 oil for them.
Fuel and lubricants SAE 5w-30 is an oil with a temperature regime from -30 ° to + 20 ° С, which is more suitable for European weather conditions.
There is an opinion that the use of fuels and lubricants 0w-20 can reduce fuel consumption by 1.5% compared to the same indicator when using 5w-30. Also, 0w-20 shows itself better in the fight against low-temperature deposits on the engine walls.
However, the viscosity of these oils is almost two times different, for 0w-20 it is 5.6, and for 5w-30 - 9.5 mm2 / s at an internal combustion engine operating temperature of 100 ° C, therefore, when choosing, it is better to focus on weather conditions and driving mode.
Leading engine oil manufacturers start with SAE 0w-30 when releasing goods for Europe. This is because most cars are driven in warmer climates than 0w-20 oil suggests.
A slightly higher viscosity of the oil also plays a role when the engine reaches operating temperature.
As for 0w-30, it should not be poured into high-speed motors with narrow channels, as efficiency may drop, or even worse, oil starvation will occur due to the fact that the system cannot pump too thick oil.
We have already considered the features of 0w-20 oil in detail above, so here we will consider only 5w-40 and its features.
Fuels and lubricants with a viscosity grade SAE 5w-40 belong to multigrade oils and have an average fluidity index. Temperature conditions - from -30 ° to + 35 ° С.
This oil is the most popular among motorists living in a temperate climate, where summer temperatures often exceed + 25 ° C. As a result, a lower viscosity oil, such as 0w-20, will lose its lubricity by simply dripping down.
Also, the popularity of this oil is due to the fact that it is suitable for engines with some wear, because due to its optimal density it remains in the engine, lubricating it during operation and at start-up.
In any case, when choosing engine oil, it is best to rely on the recommendations of the vehicle manufacturer.
Many motorists have come across a situation where there is an urgent need to top up the oil somewhere on the highway, and the nearest store does not have the right option. It was at this moment that the question arose, is it possible to mix, for example, 0w20 with 5w30 or 0w20 with 0w30 or even 5w40?
The answer of the experts is unanimous - all these oils can be mixed with each other without harm to the engine, subject to a maximum run of 2000-3000 km on such a mixture. After that, at the first opportunity, you need to drain the mixture and fill in the oil that the manufacturer recommends.
The only thing to avoid when adding oil is mixing products from different manufacturers. It is better to buy oil of the same brand, but with a slightly different viscosity and add it, than to find a similar one, but under a different brand.
This selectivity is due to the fact that motor oil manufacturers use different additives that do not always mix well with each other.
There is an opinion that the smaller the number on the canister with car oil, the more likely it will be a synthetic product inside. Hydrocracking oil 0w20 is a high quality lubricant, but it is not synthetic. In view of this, the conditions under which 0w20 (superfluid lubricant) can be used are quite limited.
For the most part, these engine oils are optimal for cars from Japan. In vehicles from Europe or the USA, they are used only in motorsport. The design of the power unit in a racing car is complex, the torque is high, such a car accelerates instantly, therefore, the car oil must be superfluid, keep fluid at any temperature.
Lubrication Features
Despite the fact that according to SAE 0w20 is classified as an all-season car oil, its temperature range is not too wide, this is evidenced by the decoding. Lubricants such as oils 0w20 5w20and other "twenties", it is recommended to fill in only in winter.
The decoding of 0w20 oil is as follows:
- 0 - indicates the temperature at which normal lubricant is pumped through the channels and the motor is rotated at start-up. Here, the minimum temperature limit is minus thirty degrees;
- 20 is the designation of the viscosity 0w20 when the motor is heated. Accordingly, the higher this parameter, the thicker the grease. This car oil retains its properties at a temperature that is not more than plus fifteen degrees.
Of course, you can pour 0w20 into the engine in the summer. However, it will become like water when the power unit warms up. The oil will leak instantly, without lubricating parts of the engine.
In winter, oils such as 0w20 or 5w30 remain fluid, it is recommended to use them when the air temperature is less than minus twenty.
Does fluidity depend on oil viscosity? Yes. However, the dependence is quite complex and requires a lot of calculations. You need to remember the main thing: if the car oil is fluid, it cannot be viscous. Therefore, liquid oils are used for quick pumping in cold weather, so that the engine immediately receives normal lubrication when starting without warming up.
Manufacturers
Of course, the manufacturer matters when choosing a lubricant. Its effectiveness directly depends on the additives and the base fluid used by a particular manufacturer. For example, synthetic motor oil from Europe performs well in any climate. 0w20 is not made in Europe. This is due to weather conditions. Plus fifteen - the temperature is too low for the European summer season. Therefore, European motor oils begin to be labeled from 0w30.
The cylinder block, pipes and other significant parts do not have such subtle elements as cars from Japan, because the “thirty” can be easily distributed throughout the engine, lubricate all its components, and reliably protect them from corrosive effects and other problems.
Narrowed ducts are inherent in the Japanese automotive industry and certain sports cars from the USA. "Thirty" will not work, because the crankshaft will turn tightly, this will reduce engine power and other characteristics.
It is worth remembering that any automaker indicates in the operating manual which oil is best to fill in the car. For example, if you own a car for which 5w40 lubricant is recommended, then fill in the "magpie", do not pay attention to the place of its production.
Car oils for Suzuki cars
The use of original car oil from the Suzuki Motor Oil line guarantees you high efficiency and long engine life. These lubricants are designed specifically for Suzuki cars.
The engine is the part of the car that is the most difficult to repair. It must be carefully exploited, use only high-quality consumables. Car oil must be chosen wisely. Suzuki finally solved this problem by developing lubricants designed for their own cars. Unlike analogues, Suzuki Motor Oil can ensure the high-quality operation of the power unit and protect it.
All Suzuki Motor Oils are tested. In view of this, the manufacturer is able to guarantee that they will optimally fit the machines for which they were created. Suzuki Motor Oils are made in Japan. For Suzuki cars, they are considered motor oils of the first filling, which is carried out during production.
"Suzuki Motor Oil 0w20"
This car oil is produced for four-stroke gasoline power units, which are recommended to use grease with a viscosity of 0w20. This oil is energy-saving, environmentally friendly, thus it differs for the better from analogues.
The main fluid for Suzuki Motor Oil is considered to be a high-quality lubricant with a high viscosity index. A special organic molybdenum is added to it, thereby achieving the desired performance characteristics, the required oil viscosity.
Suzuki Motor Oil 0w20 oil may differ from others in its characteristics, which allow it to:
- reduce friction, in view of this, fuel is saved;
- maintain their own properties at a variety of temperatures;
- provide high protection of motor elements from wear;
- form a stable oil film.
"Suzuki Motor Oil 5w30"
These oils are optimal for summer conditions. Many are interested in what is the difference between such motor oils and 0w20. Compared to the "twenty", the "thirty" is not so well suited for use in winter. This is due to the fact that 5w30 semi-synthetics have a higher freezing point than 0w20 semi-synthetics. This is what makes them different.
The choice of lubricant for the engine
When choosing oil for your own car, you need to rely, first of all, not on the rating of the best lubricants, but on the operating manual. Any automaker clearly prescribes in it how and when it is necessary to use a certain brand of oily fluid. It is advisable to use original oils, and not analogues, because the latter can differ greatly for the worse from the originals.
It is also worth considering the climatic conditions. On the label of the canister, it is possible to immediately understand what the pour / flash point of the lubricant is. Remember that two different oils, made by different manufacturers, but bearing the same label, have different properties.
