Buy industrial oil online at ATO24

The industrial fluid management requires a continuous monitoring of the liquid working media. In point of that it requires a constantly view of the acting energies. So that the oil works efficient. The daily stresses of pumps, compressors and valves require a high chemical composition of industrial oils. For this reason it is advisable to always rely on a high quality oil. In the field of industry, we offer the products of hydraulic oil, vacuum pump oil, gear oil, compressor oil, hydraulic oil and drilling oil concentrate. In addition to industrial oil, ATO24 also offers coolant for the industrial sector. Especially recommended is the Ravenol HTC coolant. The HTC stands for Hybrid Technology Coolant Concentrat and points to the particular chemical composition. For the purpose of fluid management, it is also free of amines and phosphates.

The viscosity 0W-30 is one of the most popular engine oil viscosities. For many vehicles a 0W-30 engine oil is prescribed or recommended by the manufacturer. We explain to you what the 0W-30 viscosity actually means and how you can choose the right 0W-30 engine oil.

What does 0W-30 mean?

SAE 0W-30 is a multi-grade viscosity. The two viscosity indices 0W and 30 initially indicate the possibility of year-round use (for winter and summer use). The cold viscosity 0W indicates the flowability of the oil at low temperatures. A 0W engine oil can therefore be considered to be very free-flowing when cold. This is particularly beneficial to the engine during cold starts, as the oil is able to spread particularly quickly.

The warm viscosity 30 indicates the flowability of the oil at high temperatures (specification refers to temperature of 100°C).

What is the difference between 0W-20 and 0W-30?

This also explains the difference between the various viscosity grades. 0W-20 and 0W-30 engine oils have comparable flow properties when cold. A 0W-30 engine oil has a higher viscosity at operating temperature than the 0W-20 engine oil. It is therefore "thicker".

Motoröl 0W30: You should pay attention to this!

Your vehicle manual should always be the first place to go to find the right engine oil for your car. If you find the information that SAE 0W-30 is to be used, you are almost done. Because not all 0W30 engine oils are the same!

When buying a 0W-30 you have to pay attention to the prescribed specification and approval. They are representative of the correct ingredients and standards set by your vehicle manufacturer.

0W-30 Engine Oil Specifications

After the correct viscosity, you should check whether a specification is also prescribed for the correct engine oil for your car. You will also find a reference to this in the manual of your vehicle.

Specifications are issued, for example, by the institutions ACEA, API, ILSAC or JASO. Below you will find a selection of specifications that are often prescribed together with the viscosity 0W30:

• ACEA A5/B5 0W-30 Engine Oil
• ACEA C3 0W-30 Engine Oil
• API SN 0W-30 Engine Oil
• ILSAC GF-5 0W-30 Engine Oil

0W-30 Engine Oil Approval

In addition to the specifications, the manufacturer's approvals or manufacturer's recommendations play an important role in the selection of the engine oil.

Manufacturer's approvals are issued and updated by the vehicle manufacturers in order to adapt them to the requirements of the respective engine generations. On the following pages you will find oils that have received the specified approvals or are recommended by the manufacturer of the oil for the corresponding use:

• BMW Longlife-01 0W-30 Engine Oil
• BMW Longlife-04 0W-30 Engine Oil
• Chrysler MS-6395 0W-30 Engine Oil
• Mercedes-Benz MB 229.51 0W-30 Engine Oil

Buy 10W-40 Oil: Huge selection, top prices

In the ATO24 online store you get exactly the right 10W-40 engine oil for your vehicle! In addition to top prices, we offer you reliable advice and help you find the right 10W-40 oil.

The viscosity SAE 10W-40 belongs next to 5W-30 to the most demanded engine oil viscosity. But what exactly does 10W-40 actually mean and why are there so many different oils despite the same viscosity? We will clarify these and other questions in the course of this blog article.

What does 10W-40 mean?

10W40 stands for a multigrade viscosity. Correctly written out as 10W-40, the two viscosity indexes given, 10W and 40, refer to all-season use (suitability for winter and summer use). These multigrade oils were developed over 50 years ago and were intended to replace the procedure of having to change oil at summer and winter time. The viscosity specification in cold (10W) and warm (40) viscosity indicates the oil's flowability at high and low temperatures.

10W stands for the flowability in winter (this is where the W index comes from). The value 10 is not a directly measurable value of a certain unit but an index number. The lower the number before the W, the better the flowability at cold temperatures and cold starts. A 5W-30 engine oil therefore has better flow properties in cold conditions than a 10W-40 engine oil.

The number 40 stands for the flowability of the oil at a temperature of 100 degrees Celsius. Again, the lower the number, the lower the viscosity at a temperature of 100 degrees. Accordingly, a 10w40 engine oil is more viscous than a 0W-30 engine oil.

Buy 10W-40: Here's what to keep in mind!

Even if the vehicle manual recommends a 10w-40 engine oil, the right 10W40 oil is not immediately found. When buying a 10W-40, attention must be paid to the prescribed specification and release. They represent the particular chemical properties of an oil.

10W-40 engine oil approvals

As always, your vehicle may require a release in addition to the 10W-40 viscosity. These approvals are listed on the bottle label next to the specifications. The best known approvals are those of BMW (e.g. LL-04), VW (e.g. VW 507 00) and Mercedes Benz (e.g. MB 251.0). The approvals with the engine oil are comparable with a quality seal of the automobile manufacturers. Thus this manufacturer issues a certain chemical characteristic of oils, which must be fulfilled, in order to be permissible for the cars from the own product series.

What engine oil approvals occur together with viscosity SAE 10W-40? Among many others, are common engine oils of the following releases and recommendations 10W-40 engine oils:

• BMW Special Oil 10W-40 Engine Oil
• Mercedes-Benz MB 229.1 10W-40 Engine Oil
• VW 505 00 10W-40 Engine Oil

What is the difference between 10W-30 and 10W-40?

Both viscosities share the winter property "10W", which means that they have the same properties at low temperatures and cold start. The indices 30 and 40 refer to a difference at high temperatures. Thus, the 10W-40 shows a slightly higher viscosity at high operating temperatures. This difference can be advantageous if the engine has oil losses with a 10W-30 motor oil.
