A brief discussion about motor oils in general..

Viscosity
Viscosity is a variable quantity that depends on temperature. During the operation of a car engine, there are m...

among other things, to changes in operating temperatures. In the interest of good lubrication efficiency, it is essential that the viscosity of the oil changes as little as possible with temperature. This dependency is determined by the so-called viscosity index. The higher this index, the lower the dependence of viscosity on temperature changes. The specification according to SAE (Society of Automotive Engineers, USA) is used to characterize the viscosity properties of engine oils. This standard uses 6 winter grades marked with a number and a "W" (from English Winter) and 5 summer grades marked with a number.

Winter grades: 0W, 5W, 10W, 15W, 20W, 25W (-35°C, -30°C, -25°C, -20°C, -15°C, -10°C)
Summer grades: 20, 30, 40, 50, 60 (20°C, 30°C, 40°C, 50°C, 60°C)
The winter grade value determines the behavior of the oil at low temperatures (e.g., SAE 15W oil has a pour point of -25 °C).

The summer grade value indicates the oil's use at summer temperatures. If only one grade is used in the designation, it means that the oil is a monograde oil (either summer or winter). When a combination of summer and winter grades is used (e.g., 5W-40), it refers to multigrade oil or all-season oil. Currently, multigrade engine oils are almost exclusively used.

Performance Categories
They characterize both immediate and long-term properties of engine oil under various forms of operational load. Various properties are assessed, such as oxidation stability, volatility, wear protection, sludge formation, corrosion protection, fuel economy, etc.

The following standards are used to designate the performance category of engine oils:
API classification (American Petroleum Institute, USA)
ACEA classification (European Automobile Manufacturers Association, EU)
manufacturer-specific standards for engines and vehicles (VW, MB, MAN, VOLVO, TATRA)
MIL-L classification (US army standards)
other classifications (e.g., ILSAC)
Currently, the most significant specifications are those of API, ACEA, and manufacturer-specific standards. The CCMC classification is already outdated and is mentioned only temporarily.

API Classification
According to this standard, engine oils are classified by application into oils for spark-ignition (gasoline) engines, designated with the letter "S" (from English Service), and oils for compression-ignition (diesel) engines, designated with the letter "C" (from English Commercial). Most oils are usable for both types of engines and are therefore marked with a combination of both letters, e.g., SL/CF.

Performance Classes for Spark-Ignition Engines
SA - Oils without additives for engines operating in mild conditions with low load, produced between 1940 - 1950.
SB - Oils with additives to prevent sludge formation for engines manufactured between 1951 - 1963.
SC - Oils with additives to prevent sludge formation and low-temperature deposits for engines manufactured between 1964 - 1967.
SD - Additized oils with detergent and dispersant additives for engines manufactured between 1968 - 1971.
SE - Oils for heavily stressed engines manufactured between 1971 - 1979.
SF - Oils for highly stressed engines manufactured between 1980 - 1988.
SG - Oils for engines manufactured between 1988 - 1993, meeting the strictest requirements for minimizing wear and sludge formation.
SH - Oils with the same properties as SG but tested according to more stringent standards. Intended for engines manufactured in 1996 and older.
SJ - Oil for engines manufactured in 2001 and older.
SL - Oils exceeding API SJ with improved fuel economy and the potential for extended change intervals.
SM - Oils of the highest quality exceeding API SL with increased oxidation stability, higher protection against wear and deposits. Uvvalid since 2004.

Oils for gasoline and light diesel engines
A1/B1 - Oils additive against piston deposit formation, sludge, wear, and oxidation at high temperatures. They meet the requirements for super light running and fuel economy. They are suitable only for certain engines.
A3/B3 - Oils intended for highly loaded gasoline and diesel engines or for extended oil change intervals as recommended by the engine manufacturer.
A3/B4 - Oils for high-performance gasoline engines and diesel engines with direct fuel injection, also suitable for use described in category B3.

Recommended for high-performance engines meeting Euro 1, Euro 2, Euro 3, and Euro 4 emission limits, operating under heavy conditions, e.g., extended oil change intervals, according to the engine manufacturer's recommendations. Suitable for engines without particulate filters and for most engines equipped with exhaust gas recirculation or SCR systems, according to the recommendations of engine manufacturers.
Note: Categories A2 and B2 are not included in the current edition.included. However, they remain valid in the latest version as long as they are recommended by car manufacturers in the service books.
Categories E3 and E5 are replaced by categories E6 and E7.

Explanations:

DPF (Diesel Particulate Filter) - particulate filter
TWC (Three Way Catalyst) - three-way catalyst
EGR (Exhaust Gas Recirculation) - exhaust gas recirculation
SCR (Selective Catalytic Reduction) - selective catalytic reduction of NOx: modifying the exhaust gas composition with urea (AdBlue = 32.5% aqueous solution of urea)

Automotive and engine manufacturers' standards
Many automotive and engine manufacturers require engine oils to meet additional specifications not included in the previous classification methodology.


How to properly choose engine oil?
1. The first rule when selecting engine oil is to follow the manufacturer’s guidelines found in the manual for each vehicle. Only the engine manufacturer (vehicle) can responsibly state which oil can be used. Practically no manufacturer recommends a specific oil brand (it contradicts competition laws in the European Union). Manufacturers (cars) recommend oils based on so-called performance specifications, e.g., API SH/CD, ACEA A3, VW 505.00, MB 229.1, and viscosity specifications SAE, e.g., 15W-40, 10W-40. For oils recommended in this way, change intervals are then specified.
2. For oils of the same performance specification, the same change interval is recommended.
3. If you do not have the vehicle manual, ask the manufacturer. Remember, the vehicle manufacturer does not recommend a brand of oil but only performance and viscosity specifications.
4. If the oil meets the performance and viscosity specifications (or a higher specification), it can be used. A higher performance level is acceptable, but it is mostly more expensive and does not bring much additional benefit.
5. If you are changing low performance specification oil (M5AD, M6AD) for a new high-performance oil, shorten the change interval for the first change (to allow for residue flushing).
6. Do not mix mineral oils (SAE 15W-40, 15W-50, 20W-30, 40) with synthetic oils (SAE 0W and 5W-30, 40, 50).
