Make sure that you are using the right grade of oil that is required by your car or truck. Oil grades are measured in viscosity, which determines how much the oil can resist flow. Grades of oil include:
· 0W (this is the thinnest) (“W” stands for winter)
· 5W to 25W
· 20 to 60 (60 is the thickest)
Check with the owner’s manual that comes with your car for more information about the grade of oil that is required by your car. Make sure that you use the right grade of oil to ensure that your car runs as smoothly as it should in all types of weather.
