Conventional 10W-30 engine oil
Castrol 06145 is a petroleum-based lubricant formulated for automotive engines. The SAE 10W-30 grade flows at low temperature and maintains film strength at operating heat. It meets API SN, SM, SL and SJ categories along with ILSAC GF-5, GF-4 and GF-3 standards. The product is supplied new in a one-quart bottle.
Vehicles needing API SN conventional oil
This oil suits petrol engines that specify a 10W-30 viscosity and accept conventional base stocks. It also satisfies the GM 6094M requirement found in certain General Motors service bulletins. Engines requiring synthetic-only formulations, lower viscosity grades such as 0W-20, or diesel-specific additive packages should use a different product.
Viscosity index 142
The viscosity index of 142 indicates how consistently the oil resists thinning across temperature changes. Kinematic viscosity measures 75.1 at 40 degrees C and 11.31 at 100 degrees C. Pour point reaches minus 36 degrees C while flash point sits at 200 degrees C. These figures define the oil’s temperature performance envelope.

Questions about this item
How often should I change the 10W-30 oil based on the viscosity index of 142?
Follow the vehicle manufacturer's service interval; the viscosity index of 142 indicates stable viscosity across temperatures but does not set a specific change schedule.
Will the pour point of -36°C limit cold starts in very low temperatures?
The pour point of -36°C means the oil remains fluid well below freezing, so cold-start protection is maintained in harsh winter conditions.
Does the flash point of 200°C affect engine heat during all-day operation?
A flash point of 200°C shows high thermal stability; the oil resists vaporisation and maintains protection during extended high-temperature running.
