20W-50 engine oil is the oil of choice for many drivers in our area.
Engine oils are available in a variety of grades, but 20W-50 engine oil remains the preferred choice for many drivers and mechanics throughout the Green Brook Township, New Jersey area and beyond. This high-viscosity, multigrade oil is well regarded for its ability to give exceptional engine protection in specified conditions.
One of the most important reasons for its appeal is its thickness at high temperatures. The “20W” represents its winter rating, indicating that it performs well in cooler areas, while the “50” represents its high-temperature viscosity. This makes 20W-50 engine oil suitable for areas such as ours, where we experience a wide range of temperature shifts throughout the year.
Another significant advantage is its application in older or high-mileage engines. As engines age, they become less precise due to wear. A thicker oil, such as 20W-50 engine oil, helps fill gaps that thinner oils can’t and won’t burn off as quickly, which means that it is less likely to evaporate or leak out of the engine, which saves you money since you won’t need to top off as often.
Finally, 20W-50 engine oil minimizes wear and tear by creating a protective film that reduces friction and heat production. What this means for you is that even while your engine operates under stress, it stays well lubricated, resulting in smoother, more efficient functioning overall.
