Oil for trucks and commercial vehicals - the performance counts

The engine oil for trucks and commercial vehicles is in no way inferior to the oil of cars. Their job is also the perfect lubrication and cooling of the engine. However, engines of trucks and commercial vehicles are significantly larger than car petrol and diesel engines. This in turn provides for different performance and conditions. Low-viscosity engine oils or oils with extremely low viscosities are not required. These low-viscosity oils would not withstand the high pressure loads. Metal surfaces rub against each other and their residues are absorbed by the oil. The oil loses its lubricating properties and ultimately results in an increased risk of wear. Thus, a 5W-30, 10W-40 or higher viscosity is required. Due to the displacement, the truck and commercial vehicle engines also have a larger volume. This must be lubricated with significantly more liters of oil. The purchase of 1 liter bottles would therefore be inadvisable. For this reason you will find in our shop those engine oils in the containers of 20 liters, 60 liters and 208 liters.

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
