Engine Oils 2 - Fully synthetic
In most cases fully synthetic engine oils are built on the basis of PAO and have a particularly varied range of applications regarding temperature behaviour as well as the performance spectrum itself. The latest generation of engines, in particular those with longer oil change intervals, is normally used with fully synthetic engine oils.
Typical viscosities within this product group are e.g. SAE 0W-30 or SAE 5W-40.
