Which is better, SN or SL engine oil?
1 Answers
Here is a comparison between SN and SL engine oils: 1. In terms of performance, SN-grade engine oil has the best quality. According to the API classification standard, from "SA" to "SN", each subsequent letter indicates an improvement in the oil's performance, making it superior to the previous grade. 2. In terms of price, SN oil is more expensive than SL. The higher the grade, the more expensive the oil. The differences between SN and SL engine oils are as follows: SN-grade oil mainly improves in terms of high-temperature detergency. In comparison, SL-grade oil does not have very high high-temperature detergency, and the SL grade does not have strict requirements on phosphorus content, only requiring it to be no more than 0.1%. Turbocharged engines have very high requirements for engine oil, making SN-grade oil highly suitable for them.
