FAQs

When should I use 20W50 oil?

You should use 20W-50 oil when your engine operates under high temperatures, heavy loads, or has high mileage. Its thicker viscosity provides extra film strength and protection, making it ideal for:

  • Older engines that experience oil leaks or lower compression
  • Performance or racing vehicles that generate more heat
  • Hot or tropical climates, where thinner oils might break down too quickly
  • Heavy-duty equipment like trucks, motorcycles, or generators that run for long hours

While 20W-50 offers excellent protection in heat, it’s not recommended for cold climates, as it can be too thick during startup. Always check your owner’s manual to ensure it matches your manufacturer’s specifications.

What is 20W50 oil used for?

20W-50 is a high-viscosity oil ideal for engines operating in hot climates, older vehicles, or equipment under heavy loads. Its thicker composition ensures consistent lubrication and protection where lower-viscosity oils might thin out.

What cars use 20W-50 engine oil?

This oil is commonly used in classic cars, performance engines, motorcycles, and light trucks that experience higher operating temperatures or oil pressure requirements. It’s also suitable for small equipment and generators that need extra film strength.

Is 20W-50 the same as 5W 20?

These oils have very different viscosity profiles. 5W-20 Motor Oil is much thicker, offering stronger protection at high temperatures, while 5W-20 flows more easily in cold weather for modern, fuel-efficient engines.

Is 20W50 good for an old engine?

20W-50 is often recommended for older or high-mileage engines that experience oil leaks or reduced compression. Its thicker viscosity helps maintain oil pressure and protect worn parts with your Conventional Motor Oil.

How often should I change 20W50 oil?

When to change your motor oil depends on the type of oil and driving conditions. In general, conventional 20W-50 oils should be changed every 5,000–6,000 km, while synthetic blend motor oil versions can last up to 10,000 km with proper maintenance.
