Oil viscosity (0W-20 is expla
ined here as an example):
• The 0W in 0W-20 indicates the characteristic of the oil which allows cold startability. Oils with a lower value before the W allow for easier
starting of the engine in cold weather.
• The 20 in 0W-20 indicates the viscosity characteristic of the oil when the oil is at high temperature. An oil with a higher viscosity (one
with a higher value) may be better suited if the vehicle is operated at
high speeds, or under extreme load conditions.
How to read oil container labels:
Either or both API registered marks are added to some oil containers
to help you select the oil you should use. API Service Symbol
Top portion: “API SERVICE SN”
means the oil quality designation by
American Petroleum Institute
(API).
Center portion: “SAE 0W-20”
means the SAE viscosity grade.
Lower portion: “Resource-Con-
serving” means that the oil has fuel-
saving and environmental protec-
tion capabilities.
ILSAC Certification Mark
The International Lubricant Specifi-
cation Advisory Committee
(ILSAC) Certification Mark is dis-
played on the front of the container.
