Understanding 0w30 and 5w30 oils
When choosing between 0W30 and 5W30 engine oils, three critical factors determine their performance:
1.Cold-Temperature Performance
0W30 flows at -35°C (ideal for arctic climates).
5W30 operates down to -30°C (sufficient for most temperate regions)
TERZO’s synthetic 0W30 uses premium PAO base oils for instant cold starts.
2.Base Oil Quality
0W30 requires higher-grade synthetics (better for turbocharged engines).
5W30 offers cost-effective protection for normal driving
Our T-M OFA™ technology enhances both formulations’ durability.
3.High-Temperature Protection
Both maintain identical “30” viscosity at 100°C, but:
0W30 provides superior film strength under extreme pressure.
5W30 is more economical for moderate conditions.
Which oil fits your vehicle: 0w30 vs 5w30
| Vehicle Type | Recommended Grade | Key Benefit |
|---|---|---|
| Japanese/American cars | 0W30 or 5W30 | Fuel efficiency |
| European performance | 0W30 only | Turbo protection |
| Older engines | 5W30 | Cost savings |
Pro Tip: Check your owner’s manual or consult TERZO for OEM-specific recommendations.
