Setup, Compatibility & Care
Before switching to 10W-60, verify that your engine manufacturer recommends this viscosity for your specific operating conditions. While this oil meets API SG, SH, and SJ standards, using a thicker oil than specified can sometimes lead to reduced flow at cold start-up temperatures if the ambient climate is particularly cold.
When performing an oil change:
- Drain the old oil while the engine is warm to ensure impurities are removed.
- Always replace the oil filter with one compatible with synthetic lubricants.
- Fill to the manufacturer's specified dipstick level; do not overfill.
- Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to preserve the additive package integrity.
