Product Identity
Renewable Lubricants 85253 is a bio-based engine oil rated SAE 5W-40 for gasoline and diesel engines including turbocharged and supercharged applications. The 1-gallon jug delivers high-performance lubrication with energy-conserving properties for automotive and light-truck fleets.
Upgrade Path
It replaces conventional petroleum-based oils where a biodegradable, bio-synthetic formula is preferred to meet USDA bio-based and ASTM standards. The jump is worthwhile for operators seeking reduced environmental impact without sacrificing protection in modern or older powerplants.
Practical Limits
The fluid meets SAE 5W-40 viscosity targets with 15 cSt at 100 degrees C and 84.3 cSt at 40 degrees C, a pour point of -40 degrees F and a flash point of 453 degrees F. It is not suited for applications requiring a specific ISO viscosity grade or for users who need a non-bio-based additive package.
