Why use low viscosity 0W-20 synthetic oil?

Lower viscosity oils like ENEOS 0W-20 have clear benefits 

Low viscosity oil, such as 0W-20 synthetic oil, is becoming increasingly popular among vehicle manufacturers. In this post, we will explore the reasons why low viscosity oil is the best choice for your engine, and how ENEOS fully synthetic 0W-20 motor oil can help keep your engine running smoothly and efficiently.

0W-20 synthetic oil is thinner and more fluid than higher weight motor oil, which means that it can flow more easily through your engine. This allows for better lubrication and reduces friction between moving parts, which can help prolong the life of your engine. In addition, low viscosity oil can improve fuel efficiency by reducing the amount of energy needed to pump the oil through your engine, which can result in better gas mileage.

What does the weight rating mean?

In a viscosity rating, the “W” stands for “winter,” as in cold weather. This rating refers to the external temperature in which the vehicle is operating. When a vehicle starts, the oil is at the outside temperature, and so when the vehicle starts, the closer its “W” rating is to zero, the easier the fluid will circulate when it is cold outside, making it much easier to start your vehicle when it is cold.

That said, lower weight rated oils are still effective in warmer climates because they circulate through the engine more quickly, allowing for maximum protection for the engine as quickly as possible. In fact, ENEOS fully synthetic 0W-20 motor oil is particularly well-suited for use in extreme temperatures, as it is designed to maintain excellent viscosity even in extreme cold and hot weather. This means that your engine will have optimal lubrication, whether you’re driving in the sweltering heat of summer or the frigid cold of winter.

Viscosity Index

Oils like ENEOS 0W-20 also tend to have a higher Viscosity Index (VI), providing more stability and consistency throughout all temperatures of operation. This is true not just because of the lower viscosity of the oil, but also because of the Viscosity Modifiers (VMs) ENEOS adds in just the right balance to protect engine components.

ENEOS 0W-20 Synthetic Oil

ENEOS fully synthetic 0W-20 motor oil is an excellent example of low viscosity oil, as it is designed to provide superior performance and protection for your engine. Using our OE expertise, this advanced motor oil is made using a unique blend of high-quality, synthetic base oils and advanced additives (including VMs), which work together to provide its outstanding protection and performance. Its low viscosity formula means that it can flow more easily through your engine, providing better lubrication and reducing friction between moving parts.

In addition, ENEOS fully synthetic 0W-20 motor oil can help reduce engine wear and tear. Its advanced formula provides superior protection against friction, which can cause damage to your engine over time. By using this oil, you can help prolong the life of your engine and reduce the need for costly repairs.
