What Is 0W-20 Motor Oil?

By Staff WriterLast Updated March 29, 2020

0W-20 motor oil is an advanced synthetic oil that increases performance and boosts fuel economy up to two percent. The oil is less viscous and has a fully synthetic formula.

This oil is engineered with a proprietary blend of high-performance synthetic base oils, fortified with a balanced component additive system. It also bears a thermal and oxidation stability that helps in reducing oil aging for long-lasting protection. The oil provides excellent overall lubrication and wear-protection performance for many driving styles and conditions. Notably, this low-viscosity oil is limited to high-end European cars and is relatively expensive compared to other oil types.
