Is SN or SL engine oil better?
1 Answers
Here are the differences between SL and SN grade engine oils: 1. In terms of performance, SN grade engine oil has better quality than SL. 2. Regarding high-temperature detergency, SN grade engine oil exhibits excellent high-temperature cleaning performance, while SL grade oil doesn't possess such outstanding high-temperature detergency by comparison. Engine oils are classified according to quality grades. Based on API standard classification, from 'SA' to 'SP', each subsequent letter indicates improved performance over the previous one. Currently, SP represents the highest grade of engine oil, with SN being second only to SP.
