Engine Oil Performance & Viscosity Synthetic 0W8 SQ


GP Petrogen Fully Synthetic 0W8 SQ is a standout in the premium synthetic oil category, especially for hybrid and compact engines that demand ultra-low viscosity and high fuel efficiency. 

Here's how it compares to other top-tier synthetic oils:

  Engine Oil Performance & Viscosity

  • Ultra-Low Viscosity (0W8): GP Petrogen 0W8 SQ flows faster at startup than conventional grades like 0W20 or 5W30, reducing friction and wear during cold starts.
  • High Shear Stability: Maintains protective film under high-temperature, high-shear conditions ideal for turbocharged and direct-injection engines.
  • Fuel Economy Boost: Its low internal drag helps improve mileage, especially in Hybrid Electric Vehicles (HEVs) and Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicles (PHEVs).

Petrol engine oil VS Diesel engine oil

Image
Petrol and diesel engine oils differ in formulation, additives , and performance requirements due to the distinct operating conditions of each engine type. Key Differences Between Petrol and Diesel Engine Oils Feature Petrol Engine Oil Diesel Engine Oil Operating Conditions Lower temperatures and pressures Higher temperatures, pressures, and soot production Viscosity Typically lower viscosity (e.g., 5W-30, 10W-30) Often higher viscosity (e.g., 15W-40, 5W-40) to handle stress Additive Package Focuses on oxidation stability and wear protection Includes detergents and dispersants to manage soot and acid neutralization Detergent Levels Lower, as petrol engines run cleaner Higher, to combat soot and carbon buildup TBN (Total Base Number) Lower TBN, less acid neutralization needed Higher TBN to neutralize acids from diesel combustion Fuel Dilution Resistance Less critical More resistant to fuel dilution due to diesel injection systems Emission...
