Are you still using Conventional 15W40 engine oil?

While it may have been a reliable choice in the past, it's time to consider upgrading to a more advanced lubricant: 5W40 synthetic oil.

At 49 North Lubricants, we understand the importance of choosing the right oil for your vehicle, especially during the harsh winter months. That's why we recommend 5W40 synthetic oil to our customers.

Let's delve into the five key benefits of switching to 5W40:

1. Improved Cold Weather Performance

Synthetic 5W40 has a lower viscosity at low temperatures compared to conventional 15W40, ensuring easier engine starts in cold weather. This is crucial for reducing wear during startup and promoting quicker oil circulation throughout the engine.

2. High-Temperature Stability

Synthetic oils generally have better thermal stability than conventional oils. Switching to 5W40 can result in improved protection against high-temperature conditions, reducing the risk of oil breakdown and maintaining optimal engine performance during hot operating conditions.

3. Extended Drain Intervals

Synthetic oils typically have a longer lifespan compared to conventional oils. Switching to 5W40 may allow for extended oil change intervals, reducing maintenance frequency and potentially lowering overall operating costs.

4. Reduced Engine Wear and Friction

Synthetic oils often contain additives that provide superior lubrication and protection against friction. The improved lubricity of 5W40 can contribute to reduced engine wear, extending the life of critical engine components such as pistons, cylinders, and camshafts.

5. Enhanced Fuel Efficiency

The lower viscosity of 5W40 can contribute to reduced internal friction within the engine, leading to improved fuel efficiency. Lower friction means less energy is lost to overcoming resistance, potentially resulting in better fuel milage (L/100 km) and overall fuel savings.

To our valued customers who already use 5W40:

We commend your decision to invest in the best for your vehicle. By choosing 5W40, you're ensuring optimal performance, longevity, and fuel efficiency.

If you're still using 15W40, it's time to make the switch. Contact us today to learn more about 5W40 synthetic oil and find the perfect product for your specific needs.

Your engine deserves the best.
