What is the recommended viscosity for my vehicle?

The recommended viscosity for your vehicle depends on several factors, including the climate and the type of engine you have. At Citgo Motor Oils, we offer a wide range of viscosity options to cater to various vehicles and conditions. To determine the appropriate viscosity for your car, refer to your vehicle's owner's manual or check the information on the oil cap. It is often displayed as a combination of two numbers, such as 5W-30 or 10W-40. The first number indicates the oil's flow at low temperatures, while the second number represents its flow at higher temperatures. For colder climates, a lower first number (e.g., 5W) is recommended to ensure proper oil circulation during start-up, while hotter climates may require a higher second number (e.g., 40). Ultimately, following your vehicle manufacturer's guidelines is crucial for optimal engine performance and longevity.
