1 Answers
15w40 and 20w50 engine oils are both all-season oils, but since the minimum applicable temperature for these oils is -15 degrees Celsius, they cannot be used in certain regions during specific periods. The 'S' prefix denotes gasoline engine oils: Specifications include SA, SB, SC, SD, SE, SF, SG, SH, SJ, SL. The 'C' prefix denotes diesel engine oils: Specifications include CA, CB, CC, CD, CE, CF, CF-2, CF-4, CG-4, CH-4, CI-4. Oils with both 'S' and 'C' letters are universal for both gasoline and diesel engines.
