Can 0W-40 engine oil be used in summer?
1 Answers
0W40 engine oil has a viscosity rating of 40 after the W, which refers to the oil viscosity at 100°C. This indicates that 0W40 oil has higher viscosity at high temperatures, providing excellent protection and making it suitable for summer use. Advantages and disadvantages of Mobil 0W-40W engine oil: 1. Contains active detergents to prevent carbon deposits and sludge buildup, keeping the engine clean and extending its lifespan; 2. Outstanding thermal and oxidation stability, delaying oil aging and extending oil change intervals; 3. Low oil consumption, reducing hydrocarbon pollution; 4. Good friction characteristics, leading to higher fuel efficiency; 5. Excellent low-temperature performance, enabling quick cold starts and rapid protection.
