Valvoline 5W-40 Synthetic Oil
Valvoline 5W-40 Full Synthetic Engine Oil is formulated for gasoline engines in cars and light-duty trucks. The 32 oz bottle supplies a synthetic blend meeting API standards and Dexos 2 rating. Detergent additives help protect against deposits and wear. Suitable for European vehicle specifications requiring this viscosity grade.
Cold-Start Flow and High-Temperature Stability
The 5W rating allows flow at minus 30 degrees F for easier cold starts. At operating temperatures up to 220 degrees F the oil maintains its protective film. Flash point is also 220 degrees F, indicating resistance to volatility under sustained heat. The synthetic base resists breakdown during extended drain intervals better than conventional oils.
Verify Vehicle Requirements Before Purchase
Check the owner's manual for the exact SAE viscosity and specification codes required by your engine. Confirm the manufacturer calls for a 5W-40 grade with Dexos 2 approval. Ensure the gasoline engine type matches the compatible vehicle types listed. This single-quart container may not cover a full oil change on larger sumps.
