Jul 7, 2015 · The difference between 0W-40 and 5W-40 is that 0W-40 starts from a much thinner base oil and uses more VII to increase KV100 to the SAE 40 level.

Dec 19, 2018 · I have a new 2022 Ram Power Wagon that calls for 0W-40 oil that meets the MS-12633 specification. PUP 0W-40 meets that spec and is called for by name in the owners manual.

Aug 5, 2015 · M1 FS 0w-40 meets several more difficult specs just like Castrol 0w-40. The Euro lubes (and M1 0w-40 was the original SRT service fill until Pennzoil got the contract via the FIAT acquisition) have, on paper, superior physical properties over the SRT 0w-40, including lower Noack. They definitely go through significantly more testing.

Dec 23, 2023 · I just bought a 2024 Escalade V. It has a variant of the LT4. Cadillac states that it takes 0W-40 Dexos 2 (ESP) oil. While I have just sent a message to Mobil 1 via their web-site on this question, I'm trying to understand the differences (formula-wise) between these oils.

Aug 30, 2004 · I ordered PUP 0W-40 for the break-in oil change on my buddy’s Ram 6.4. The back label references an unfamiliar spec: MS-A0921. This bottle is the latest API SP formulation. Prior versions of this oil referenced a MS-12633 spec. Does anyone know what changed?

Mar 7, 2020 · Mobil1 ESP 0w-40 is the only 0w-40 Dexos2 oil according to the Dexos2 list, there's a Castrol 0w-40 product mentioned but it also has the same Dexos license number listed as a 0w-30 product and I can't seem to find any Dexos2 0w-30 or 0w-40 made by Castrol, at …

Feb 2, 2015 · Truth be told, 0W-40 is a nearly universal motor oil. These Euro spec oils have good additive packages with detergents and dispersants galore. Unless you have a weezy sub 2.0L naturally aspired engine, there isn't a single good reason to …

Jul 19, 2023 · If you want a stout diesel oil that's readily available try mobil delvac extreme 15w-40 or 5w-40. The voa for the 15w-40 has 1300 zddp and 1200 phos. Higher than euro grades. Higher hths of 4.1 too. The 5w-40 is a bit lower at 1100 zddp and 900 phos but that's still fine. Unless it gets to below 0 just use 15w-40.

Aug 21, 2024 · So that would lead me to the following conclusion - If you buy Syntec in a BOX, you get Omni oil, while if you buy it in a QUART or JUG you get Castrol oil. View attachment 236524 2. The SDS for Syntec 0W-40 shows Castrol Edge 0W-30, which would imply they are identical products.
