Is there any penetrating oil for loosening up bolts and nuts on a high temperature equipment? Temperature is slightly above 100 deg.C. Most of the penetrating oil the flash point is slightly above 60 deg.C only... Thank you.

Is there a change in formula for it to meet dexos 1 requirement? Or is it the same stuff?

I thought Shell Omala is more for lubricating gears. Shell Morlina is more for bearings lubrication.

Hi Rollins, Appreciate your explanation to my query. To summarise what I had learn today; A3/B3 ranges from group 1 to group 5 base oil, hence the requirement are not as stringent as A5/B5 which are mostly group 3. But can I assume if A3/B3 are better(higher) group oil, then it should perform...

I have a ACEA Y2008 question. Refer: http://www.acea.be/images/uploads/files/20090105_081211_ACEA_Oil_Sequences_Final.pdf How come under requirement 2.7 Wear and 2.8 DI diesel piston ring cleanliness & ring sticking, ACEA A5/B5 is more stringent than ACEA A3/B3? Does that imply that A3/B3...

Hi, I got a API SM question, hope someone can please enlighten me. According to API classification for SM, under 1.1 Viscosity Grades, it was stated "All those that apply, typically SAE 0w20, 0w30, 5w20, 5w30 and 10w30". Does this mean oil having viscosity more than 30 is not covered under API...

Schaeffer #7000 5W30, website stated 47 ~ 52 cSt(average 49.5cSt?)at 40 deg.C Edit: Sorry, didn't read carefully that only dino being considered, I think #7000 does not count as dino

Please educate me. How come, for example, Amsoil ATM 10W30, a 10W oil can have a pour point of -50deg.C. But Amsoil XLM 5W20, a 5W oil gives a -43deg.C pour point? So which one performs better in very cold weather? Thanks.

Thank you all for your reply.

Mobil Delvac MX 15W40 specifications..... http://www.mobil.com/Singapore-English/Lubes/PDS/GLXXENCVLMOMobil_Delvac_MX_15W-40.asp

Hi. I’m a new member and this is my first posting..... Referring to Mobil Delvac MX 15W40, the ACEA ratings are A2/B3/B4/E3/E5/E7. How come it is only rated A2 for petrol application but can go for extended drain for diesel application? Since this oil is fleet oil and can be use for both petrol...
