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.
