Performance Advantages
Better wear protection
Enhanced additive technology prevents metal-to-metal contact beyond both dexos1â„¢* and ILSAC GF-5 specs
Increased fuel efficiency
A low coefficient of friction results in optimized fuel efficiency (the fuel economy of our 5W-30 meets the fuel economy requirements of a 5W-20 oil)
Better protection of the expensive catalytic emission system
Patented ZDDP additives optimize emissions catalyst system life
Improved compatibility with fuels containing ethanol
Patented additive technology prevents the white sludge and lubrication starvation that can occur with 20% or higher ethanol fuel
Superior corrosion protection
No rust observed in standard industry testing
