What Types of Cars Are Suitable for 0W-40 Fully Synthetic Engine Oil?

[AmeliaFitz]

0W-40 engine oil is more commonly used in German cars, as they are suitable for this type of oil, while Japanese cars are more suited to 0W-20 engine oil. More relevant information is as follows: 1. Usage: 0W indicates that the oil can be used at a minimum temperature of -35 degrees Celsius, and 40 represents the kinematic viscosity standard at 100 degrees Celsius, which ranges between 12.5mm²/s and 16.3mm²/s. The number before W represents the freezing point: 0W is -35°C; 5W is -30°C; 10W is -25°C; 15W is -20°C; 20W is -15°C; 25W is -10°C. W stands for winter, and the smaller the number before it, the better the low-temperature fluidity of the oil, indicating a lower usable environmental temperature and better engine protection during cold starts. 2. Classification: Engine oils are specifically categorized into 4 types for summer use, 6 types for winter use, and 16 types for all-season use. The all-season oils are: 5W-20, 5W-30, 5W-40, 5W-50, 10W-20, 10W-30, 10W-40, 10W-50, 15W-20, 15W-30, 15W-40, 15W-50, 20W-20, 20W-30, 20W-40, 20W-50. The smaller the number representing the winter part, the lower the applicable minimum temperature; the larger the number representing the summer part, the higher the applicable maximum temperature.
