3m30 " 10w 40 " has a viscosity grade or 10 when cold & 40 when hot" ... but oil is thicker when cold & thinner when hot , I would have expected it so say 80w 40 for example.. . So something else is going on with this W scale . Is it 10w 40 ... when cold this oil is as thick as a old style SAE10 would be when cold , but when its hot it is like as SAE 40 oil? When SAE is measured at 100c. A old SAE40 oil would be very thick at 0c

@Castrol U.K. It answered my questions in part. Appreciated the little viscosity and SAE info with moving graphic while explaining. However, could Castrol add the explanation for the LL and A3/B4 designations on products such as Castrol Magnatec 5W-40 A3/B4 and Castrol EDGE 5W-30 LL.

I’m glad this has popped up. Why is it your website states that 507.00 is fine for use in PD diesels engines, when the people that made the engine say it is not, and you must continue to use 505.01? That would be very convenient seeing as it appears you don’t make 505.01 any more, but I’d rather not wreck my engine when two sources say two very different things…

Simple and effective, thank you! Got a question that perhaps somebody can help me out, since I asked 100 people, and I've got 100 different answers: I've got an urban motorbike, 107 cubic centimeters engine. The manufacturer suggests a 15W40 motor oil. I've always choosen mineral oils and avoid semi and synthetics ones for a number of reasons not important here. My question is: does ANY mineral 15W40 engine oil works just the same independently of the brand? I'm asking cause there're a lot of brands available and prices vary wildly, despite all being the same norm. There's no suggested brand from the manufacturer, just the type of oil. For example (not real prices): Motorcraft 15w40 mineral is 1 buck. Castrol Gtx 15w-40 is 5 bucks. Puma Hd Super 15w40 is 10 bucks. All have the same specs, don't they? They're all 15w40, mineral. But they are all change in price. I know you're gonna tell me to buy Castrol for obvious reasons, but I'm genuinely asking if there are any differences and if a 107cc motorbike will handle it just the same, regardless of the brand. Thanks!

If I have a bottle of oil that says 2018 on is that the expiration date or manufactured? And should this be alright to use if it’s unopened? Cheers

@Castrol_UK 2 жыл бұрын

Hello Liam36 Thank you for contacting us! The date on the bottle is the filling date at the factory. Modern oils do have a certain shelf life as they are a complex blend of base oils and additives. Shelf life depends on a number of different factors, such as storage conditions. If you would like to know what the use-by date is for your oil please contact our Technical Support team at AutoTechEnquiries@castrol.com ^ Alex, Team Castrol

Please advise can I use 5W40 grade fully synthetic oil in my renault triber instead of 15W40 semi synthetic oil recommended by the manufacturer?

@0qmdfa14h1 25 күн бұрын

Yes ,you can use a 5W40 fully synthetic oil instead of a 15W40 semi-synthetic oil. The 5W40 fully synthetic oil will provide better cold start protection and improved lubrication compared to the 15W40 semi-synthetic oil. CIM Lubricants 5W40 SYNZ4/CF fully synthetic grade oil is the proper oil to use if it meets the specifications given by the manufacturer.

Thicker oil is not usually the solution for low oil pressure and small oil leaks in older engines. In most cases, it's better to address the underlying issue causing the drop in pressure or the leak. Thicker oil may provide temporary relief, but it may also reduce oil flow to critical engine components and potentially lead to engine damage. Yes, adding a thicker oil can help improve oil pressure and reduce leaks. CIM Lubricants 15W40 API SN/CF is a reliable option for your classic Jaguar.
