Royal Purple SAE 30 Synthetic Motor Oil - 1 Quart Bottle

Motor oil is a vital component in the operation of vehicle engines, serving to lubricate, clean, and cool the moving parts. The types of motor oil available include conventional, synthetic, diesel, bio-based, hybrid (blends of conventional and synthetic), and recycled oils. These oils vary in their weight, viscosity, and the additives that manufacturers incorporate during the refining process.

The Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) has established 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 is. Most consumer motor oils are graded with two numbers, where the first number indicates the oil's performance in cold weather (Winter or "W").

When choosing the appropriate motor oil for your vehicle, it's important to consult the owner's manual to ensure you select the correct weight. This oil has a weight of SAE 40, meaning it has a single SAE viscosity rating of 40 at normal operating temperature.

Synthetic oil, which is not made from crude oil, can be used in vehicle engines instead of traditional motor oils refined from crude oil. Synthetic oil often provides superior mechanical performance, including increased gas mileage and reduced engine wear at extreme temperatures. However, the complex production process typically results in a higher cost compared to conventional motor oil.

Royal Purple Motor Oil is a high-performance option that combines premium base oils with proprietary additive technologies to optimize engine performance and provide superior protection. When upgrading to Royal Purple, the manufacturer recommends waiting until the first scheduled oil change in new gasoline engines before making the switch. Royal Purple's API-licensed motor oil meets ILSAC GF-5 and Dexos1 performance requirements for both gasoline and diesel engines.

Royal Purple's API-licensed Synthetic Motor Oil is compatible with both synthetic and conventional motor oils, and no special procedures are necessary when switching. The company recommends waiting until the manufacturer's first scheduled oil change or a minimum of 2,000 miles in new gasoline engines, and 8,000 to 10,000 miles before using Royal Purple in diesel engines.

In high-mileage applications, Royal Purple recommends running a minimum of two short (3,000 mile/5,000Km) intervals before extending the oil drain intervals. This allows the oil's high solvency to gradually remove existing deposits, which can restrict oil flow and reduce the oil's service life if excessive.

By choosing the right motor oil for your vehicle, you can benefit from improved wear protection, increased fuel efficiency, and superior corrosion protection, all while ensuring your engine runs smoothly and efficiently.
