| Automotive Engine Oil Product Description Superflo is high quality motor oil that incorporates anti-wear protection, as well as, protection against sludge and deposit formation. The SAE 5W-20, 5W-30, and 10W-30 grades meet the highest API quality requirement (SM) for gasoline engine passenger cars, sport utility vehicles, vans and light trucks and are also ILSAC (International Lubricant Standardization and Approval Committee) GF-4 approved. This certifies that these oils meet the highest API performance standards and are preferred by most American and Japanese car manufacturers. Features and Benefits The SAE 5W-20, 5W-30, 10W-30, 10W-40 and 20W-50 grades satisfy API Category SM, which is the highest API quality recommended for gasoline powered vehicles The gasoline engine tests that describe the minimum quality for Category SM require a high level of protection against high temperature deposits, ring sticking, camshaft and hydraulic valve lifter wear, oil thickening due to high temperature oxidation, rusting, and bearing wear. The complete engine protection provided by Superflo is the result of high quality base oils plus highly effective additives, including detergents, dispersants, and anti-wear additives, plus inhibitors against oxidation, rust, and foam. Sludge and varnish deposits are controlled by detergents and dispersants that prevent agglomeration and settling out of minute sludge particles. Contaminants remain suspended in the oil and are drained when the oil is changed. Freedom from sludge and varnish is critical to long life and reduced wear of moving engine parts. The rust inhibitor in Superflo effectively helps retard the formation of rust in hydraulic valve lifters and other critical parts. Cold-starting your car can damage critical engine parts if they are not adequately and rapidly lubricated. Superflo multi-grades are specially formulated for quick flow to engine components at start-up, providing engine protection. Metal bearing surfaces in an engine appear to be smooth but actually contain sharp, microscopic peaks, called asperities. When two surfaces slide against each other under heavy loads, asperities can penetrate the lubricant film and collide with each other, creating additional friction, which reduces engine efficiency. The friction modifiers in Superflo provide a strong oil film and reduce contact between asperities. Three grades - SAE 5W-20, 5W-30 and 10W-30 - have demonstrated potential fuel-saving benefits in the ASTM industry standard engine test. Superflo 5W-20, 5W-30, and10W-30 carry the API's highest fuel economy rating, "Energy Conserving". These new GF-4 quality oils also provide potential fuel economy retention over the life of the oil. Prolonged exposure to heavy-duty service at high temperatures can cause some oils to oxidize and thicken to the point that they are barely able to flow. This is called oxidation thickening and has become more common due to trailer pulling, summer stop and goes driving, and higher engine temperatures associated with emission | ||
