Environmental Benefits of Petrogen 0W8 SQ

That’s a solid pitch for Petrogen 0W8 SQ it’s great to see motor oil not just engineered for machines, but also with the environment in mind.

Let’s break down those green credentials a little more:

  Fuel Efficiency & Lower CO₂ Emissions

  • Ultra-low viscosity (0W8) reduces internal engine friction
  • Promotes smoother engine operation, translating to better fuel economy
  • Less fuel burned = lower carbon dioxide emissions during each drive

  Eco-Safe Chemistry

  • Formulated with low-sulfur base oils less harmful exhaust output and fewer sulfur oxides
  • Uses additives designed to biodegrade more safely, minimizing impact on soil and water
  • Meets high environmental standards without compromising lubrication or wear protection

  Sustainable Choice

  • Supports manufacturers aiming for carbon neutrality goals
  • Ideal for modern vehicles with eco-optimized engines, including hybrids
  • Contributes to longer engine life, which reduces waste from repairs and replacements

 Viscosity & Engine Compatibility

Oil Type Viscosity Grade Best For Notes
Petrogen 0W8 SQ 0W-8 Hybrid & ultra-efficient engines Ultra-thin, ideal for tight engine tolerances
0W-20 0W-20 Most modern gasoline engines Common balance of fuel economy & protection
5W-30 5W-30 Older engines & high-temp zones Thicker, better for wear protection
10W-40 10W-40 Heavy-duty or high-mileage engines High viscosity, less fuel-efficient

Petrogen’s 0W8 grade is among the thinnest oils available, which means:

  •   Faster cold starts and quicker lubrication
  •   Lower friction, boosting fuel economy
  •   May not be suitable for engines not designed for ultra-low viscosity

  Environmental Impact

  • Petrogen 0W8 SQ uses low-sulfur base oils and eco-safe additives, reducing emissions and environmental harm
  • Traditional oils (like 10W-40) may contain more sulfur and produce more particulate emissions

  API SQ Certification

Petrogen 0W8 SQ meets the API SQ standard, which:

  • Enhances fuel economy and engine cleanliness
  • Offers LSPI protection for turbocharged engines
  • Supports longer engine life with reduced wear

  Availability & Cost

  • 0W8 oils like Petrogen are newer and less widely available, often more expensive due to complex refining
  • Common oils like 5W-30 are cheaper and easier to find, but may not meet the latest fuel-efficiency standards

If you're driving a hybrid or a newer vehicle designed for ultra-low viscosity oils, Petrogen 0W8 SQ is a cutting-edge choice.
But for older engines or high-performance needs, a thicker oil might be more appropriate.

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...
