Add to that exceptional high and low temperature protection to shield your engine in extreme conditions and you have ultimate motor oil for your premium car. Valvoline European Full Synthetic Motor Oil. It’s what your high-performance European vehicle demands. Motor oil is made from crude oil and is used to lubricate, clean, and cool engines. Types of motor oil include conventional, synthetic, diesel, bio-based, hybrid (blends of conventional and synthetic), and recycled oils. Motor oil varies in weight and viscosity, as well as additives that some manufacturers add to the oil during the refining process. A numerical code system created by the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) grades motor oils according to viscosity--the higher the number between 0 and 60, the more viscous (thicker) the oil is. Most consumer motor oils are graded by two numbers, with the first number indicating cold weather (Winter or "W") performance.SAE 5W-40This oil has a weight of SAE 5W-40, meaning it has an SAE viscosity rating of 5 in cold temperatures and a rating of 40 at normal operating temperature. Always check your vehicle's owner's manual to verify that this is the correct weight of motor oil for your vehicle.Full Synthetic OilThis oil is a full synthetic oil, meaning crude oil is not used in making it. Synthetic oil can be used in vehicle engines instead of motor oils refined from crude oil, and often provides superior mechanical performance over traditional motor oil, including increased gas mileage and reduced engine wear at extreme temperatures. Its complex method of production means it can often cost more than conventional motor oil.

Synthetic oils are superior to conventional oils because they help maximize horsepower, improve gas mileage and provide a smoother, cooler operation for the engine, prolonging engine life. Many vehicle owners feel that the benefits of using a synthetic motor oil are worth the extra cost. How does Valvoline's SynPower formula protect against wear?

Valvoline's proprietary formulation includes special anti-wear chemistry. Valvoline's low impact ZDDP allows phosphorus in the anti-wear additive to stay in the oil longer than other leading synthetic motor oils. Phosphorous bonds to metal parts in the engine to form a "sacrificial" layer that helps protect against friction and metal wear in the engine. SynPower also uses premium detergents and dispersants that protect against deposits and sludge to keep engines clean. SynPower's premium full synthetic base oils and additives hold up to extreme temperatures to provide increased protection for your engine. Does using synthetic oil create more sludge?

I heard that synthetic oil is too thin for use in an older car and creates blow-by and burn-off. Is this true? This is only true if the blow-by problem exists prior to using a synthetic oil. If you have a leaking or blow-by problem, synthetic oils can make the issue worse, but they do not cause it to happen. Do I need to use a different type of oil filter with synthetic oil? No. You can use any type of oil filter with a synthetic oil. Are there certain types of vehicles that should not use synthetic motor oil (e.g., Mazda's)? Yes, there are certain engines (e.g., rotary engines) in which synthetic oils should not be used. Refer to your owner's manual for the appropriate motor oil recommendation. Are there any gas mileage advantages to using synthetic oil? Absolutely. Synthetic oils use higher quality friction modifiers to make the oil more slippery and stronger than conventional oils. This allows the engine to run easier and smoother, increasing gas mileage. What group of base oils is used in the formulation of SynPower? Valvoline uses a mixture of Group III and Group IV basestocks. Does SynPower use polyalphaolefin (PAO) base stocks? Yes. Valvoline uses a mixture of Group III and Group IV basestocks. Does SynPower protect engine seals or do I have to buy a higher-mileage motor oil to get that protection? SynPower does protect engine seals but in order to recondition older engine seals, high mileage oils are recommended. Is it safe to use SynPower in a motorcycle with a wet clutch? No. Valvoline SynPower oils are not approved for use with a wet clutch. Is SynPower compatible with other brands of synthetic motor oil or do I need to flush if I'm switching brands?
