Optimized Royal Purple 0W-40 Motor Oil

Motor oil is a vital component in the operation of engines, serving to lubricate, clean, and cool the various moving parts. The types of motor oil available include conventional, synthetic, diesel, bio-based, hybrid (a blend of conventional and synthetic), and recycled oils. The viscosity and weight of motor oil can vary, and some manufacturers may also add specific additives during the refining process.

The Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) has developed a numerical code system to grade motor oils based on their viscosity. The higher the number between 0 and 60, the more viscous (thicker) the oil. Most consumer motor oils are graded using two numbers, with the first indicating the oil's performance in cold weather (Winter or "W").

For example, an oil with a weight of SAE 0W-40 has an SAE viscosity rating of 0 in cold temperatures and a rating of 40 at normal operating temperature. It's essential to consult your vehicle's owner's manual to ensure you use the correct weight of motor oil for your specific model.

Synthetic motor oil, which does not contain crude oil, often provides superior mechanical performance compared to traditional motor oil. This includes increased fuel efficiency and reduced engine wear, even at extreme temperatures. However, the complex production process behind synthetic oil can also mean a higher cost.

Royal Purple Motor Oil is a premium brand that combines high-quality base oils with proprietary additive technologies to create motor oils that optimize engine performance and provide superior protection. Upgrading to Royal Purple is a straightforward process, as the oil is fully compatible with both mineral and other synthetic oils. Royal Purple recommends waiting until the manufacturer's first scheduled oil change in new gasoline engines before switching to their product.

Royal Purple's API-licensed motor oils meet the stringent performance requirements of ILSAC GF-5 and Dexos1, ensuring superior protection and improved performance in both gasoline and diesel engines. The company offers a wide range of multi-grade and monograde oil viscosities to suit various engine types and applications.

When transitioning to Royal Purple, there are no special procedures required. The company does, however, recommend waiting until the manufacturer's first scheduled oil change in new gasoline engines, and allowing 8,000 to 10,000 miles before using Royal Purple in diesel engines. This allows for proper engine break-in and ensures the oil's high solvency can gradually remove any existing deposits.

Royal Purple motor oils offer several key benefits, including better wear protection, increased fuel efficiency, improved compatibility with fuels containing ethanol, and enhanced protection for expensive catalytic emission systems. Regardless of mileage or age, Royal Purple can be used in mechanically sound engines, though it's recommended to run a minimum of two short oil change intervals in high-mileage applications to allow the oil's solvency to gradually remove any existing deposits.
