Huge selection of motor oil from many manufacturers. You have the choice!

Among all lubricants and fuels in the car, engine oil is of particular importance. As the central link between mechanical friction and power generation, the engine oil plays a decisive role in the transmission of power from the engine in the car and is therefore exposed to various loads during each individual journey. If one considers that the intervals between oil changes are sometimes as short as 30,000 km, the importance of engine oil quality becomes even clearer.

 

Engine oils can essentially be distinguished by their viscosity, their manufacturer's approval or recommendation, and their basic chemical structure. Usually the viscosity is specified in an SAE class. In modern passenger cars, multi-grade engine oils are used which are capable of exhibiting different viscosities in the cold state, such as when the vehicle is cold-started, and in the warm state, i.e. at regular operating temperature up to the maximum load. This is a significant advantage, as an engine oil is thus able to ensure the rapid lubrication of an engine during a cold start with the highest possible flowability, thus guaranteeing qualitative aggregate protection, while at the same time offering a higher viscosity at high operating temperatures in order to be able to maintain a reliable lubricating film under heavy loads. Widely used viscosity grades in cars are SAE 0W-30, 5W-30 and 5W-40, which have replaced the once dominant viscosity 10W-40. An engine oil with a viscosity of 0W-30 is more fluid in comparison to the 5W-30 engine oil when cold and is therefore able to oil the engine more quickly and build up a protective lubricating film more quickly. In addition to the viscosity, automobile manufacturers limit the quality requirements for an engine oil to be used more precisely by specifications or so-called manufacturer's approvals. Common specifications are defined by the manufacturer-independent institutions ACEA (Association des Constructeurs Européens d'Automobiles), the API (American Petroleum Institute) or the ILSAC (International Lubricants Standardization and Approval Committee). Lubricant manufacturers can produce their products according to the classes defined in each case, such as ACEA A3/B4, API SN or ILSAC GF-5, while automotive manufacturers define which specifications must be met for the various vehicles. By specifying an engine oil specification, it is possible to identify in particular whether an engine oil is suitable only for petrol engines or also for vehicles with diesel engines. In the case of requirements for a lubricant individually defined by the vehicle manufacturer, a standardised specification is replaced by the so-called manufacturer approval or operating instructions. An approval is issued directly by the vehicle manufacturer. Oil manufacturers use it to produce products that meet the technical requirements of such an approval. Some of these products are then licensed and officially approved by the car manufacturer (in our online shop, the approvals of an engine oil  are listed in the product details under "approvals:") or recommended by the lubricant manufacturer as being suitable for use in vehicles that require an engine oil of the respective operating regulation (in our online shop, these are delimited from the manufacturer releases as "recommendations"). The most popular operating regulations defined by the automobile manufacturers include BMW Longlife-01, Mercedes-Benz MB 229.52, VW 505 00 and 507 00 or GM dexos2. However, there are also various other approvals from the vehicle manufacturers BMW, Mercedes, VW, Ford, Chrysler and many others.

In ATO24's online shop, you will find products from well-known lubricant manufacturers as well as a wide range of OEM products with which car manufacturers sell lubricants under their own brand. Due to our wide range of products we are able to provide the right motor oil for almost every vehicle - at a reasonable price and with short delivery time, no matter if European, American, Asian vehicle, passenger car, SUV, sports car or super sports car.

5W-30 oil for which car?

Many vehicle manufacturers recommend the use of a 5W-30 engine oil for their vehicle models and engines. These are also filled into your car as a first filling. We give you an overview, for which vehicles among other things 5W-30 engine oils are recommended or prescribed for use:

 

5W-30 Longlife: What does it mean for VW, BMW, Mercedes and Co.

So-called Longlife engine oils refer to the flexible or extended maintenance intervals of the vehicle manufacturers. What is meant here is the change interval of the engine oil. Maintenance intervals of 10,000 to 15,000 kilometers, which for a long time have been the exclusive preserve of vehicle enthusiasts, are being replaced by long intervals of 30,000 kilometers in some cases.

Thus the Longlife characteristics mean a slightly different change interval depending upon manufacturer:

 

  • BMW Longlife:usually this means 25,000 km for gasoline engines and 30,000 kilometers for diesel engines, alternatively 2 years
  • VW Longlife:also here a Longlife change interval usually means 30,000 kilometers
  • Mercedes Longlife: also here there is the Longlife interval. Depending on the model, maximum change intervals of 25,000 kilometers or one year are specified

 


Buy Opel engine oil at ATO24

The US automotive group General Motors (GM) is one of the best known manufacturers in the world. However, the globally active corporation is not only known for its cars, but also for its specially developed engine oils.

Engine oils for Opel vehicles have for some time been based on the GM engine oil release, or more precisely: the GM dexos engine oil approvals.

GM Dexos 1 Gen. 2 release - for most Opel vehicles

The manufacturer GM has further developed the generally known release "GM Dexos 1" and reacted with it to news that it came with the old formulation of the oil again and again to unforeseen engine damages. The damage was often caused by premature ignition of the fuel in the combustion chamber. "GM Dexos 1 Gen. 2" is now intended to prevent this possible damage.

What has changed with GM Dexos 1 Gen. 2?

The damage caused by premature ignition of the fuel can have fatal consequences for the engine, as it causes repeated knocks in the respective combustion chamber and thus causes the piston, as well as the seals, to wear out and deteriorate. These misfires can ultimately lead to total engine failure. Only a timely oil change to the oil with the correct release, in this case GM Dexos 1 Gen.2, can stop further wear and protect your engine again extensively.

In addition to the improvement in the area of engine protection, the new release also further raised the standards for oils in other areas. Engine oils with GM Dexos 1 Gen. 2 approval now meet higher and better standards. Both engine cleanliness and protection against wear have been significantly improved. Especially the cleanliness of the engine helps not only the engine itself, but also the environment, since harmful exhaust gases can be avoided to a large extent.

In addition, with the optimization of the oil should also withstand the stricter requirements of the EURO 6 standard. The EURO 6 standard was launched by the EU back in 2014 and has been continuously refined and improved ever since. The EURO 6 describes the corresponding standard, which is currently issued for diesel vehicles. And thus provides a window for car and oil manufacturers in which appropriate exhaust emission values from the aggregates may arise.

Vehicles that require GM Dexos 1 Gen. 2

For the following vehicles GM prescribes to change the engine oil to a product with the release "GM Dexos 1 Gen. 2". This ensures that the engine is still fully protected and that no premature ignitions can occur in the combustion chambers of the month.
