Renewable Lubricants 85253 Engine Oil 5W-40 Bio-Synthetic 1 Gal

SKU CH-SCGS-1DEH7

Bio-synthetic 5W-40 engine oil in a one-gallon jug for turbo and supercharged gas or diesel engines

  • Bio-synthetic base reduces environmental impact
  • 5W-40 viscosity protects turbo and supercharged engines
  • High flash point of 453°F enhances high-temperature safety
  • Low pour point of -40°F ensures cold-start flow
  • Meets ASTM and USDA biodegradable standards

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.

Questions about this item

What engine types does the 5W-40 Bio-Synthetic oil suit?

Formulated for both turbocharged and supercharged petrol and diesel engines, meeting energy-conserving SAE performance requirements.

What is the correct pour sequence when topping up a warm engine?

Shake the jug well, remove the filler cap, pour slowly to avoid air pockets, then recheck the dipstick after the oil settles.

How often should this bio-based oil be changed under normal driving?

Follow the vehicle manufacturer's mileage or time interval; the bio-synthetic base does not extend the factory-recommended service schedule.
