0w0 oil for sale?

[Owen Lucas]

It appears that this website is selling "0w0" motor oil.

I could not find any MSDS sheets or specifications on the website, so it makes me a little suspicious.

To the tribologists here, is 0w0 oil possible?

AFAIK 0w8 is the lightest oil available now. Is there anything else lighter out there?

 

[Mewbs]

Don't see specs and certs or the API doughnut, I'm leaning more that its a scam.

$105 for 2 ounces of ceramic engine treatment, yeah good luck with that...

Yeah my idea of performance is lasting along time.

OK I think I found a true 0w oil:

"Prevents bore polish in the cylinder liners while ensuring exceptional piston cleanliness and sludge control."

How can you have bore polish when you've scored the cylinder walls?

Once you put that in a fuel diluted GDI engine, will it be a -0w-8??

Guaranteed to protect your engine for 3 seconds or a 1/4 mile, whichever comes first.

To the tribologists here, is 0w0 oil possible?

I asked this question here years ago. You either have to move the scale to go negative or redefine what 0 is. No one could seem to comprehend that possibility.

 

[OVERKILL]

There is no SAE 0 grade, so no. It doesn't exist in J300.

You could make an SAE 0W by not testing it for hot viscosity, but that would be a bit stupid in this day and age.

 

[Foxtrot08]

Theoretically possible for it to exist? Yes.

Are there currently technical specifications for it? No.

"protects like a 40w"​

Uhh do they not know what 40 winter and 40 grade means??

• Performance: It protects like a 40W oil, runs like a 0W oil, and flows freely within the engine, embodying the principles of 0w-0w-weight motor oil.​

Woah dude. I've waited my whole life for a 0w-0w-weight motor oil... Its got triple weight and I can't weight for the quad weight 0w-0w-0w-weight to come out...

Noticing the common bottle used by many other oil companies and oil can insignia by the spout, makes me wonder if they are just relabeling someone else's product.

if you look at their products images carefully, the appear to be poorly photoshoped with a jpeg quality label slapped on a generic oil bottle.

Lots of redflags on that website and the reviews and testimonials look all setup. Sadly this seems to work on rich weirdos or desperate customers looking for a solution to a problem.

How do you measure “0”?

How do you measure “0”?

If there was a 0W-0, the 2nd zero would just be the "grade". It's not "zero viscosity".

 

[dogememe]

Most auto parts stores carry 0w-0. You can find it in the Coke machine. It's labeled Dasani. Fairly reasonable price, too!

 

[facility1]

to my way of observation, the 0w/0w would need be of a consistent viscosity at a fixed temperature or a constant, and would not change with raising the temperature or lowering, also the hths and other testing procedures may not exist or be meaningly useful, as its currently used on other lubricants of thicker viscosity's, so in other words the zero viscosity verses zero may need a new way of measurement of itself. (pascals),,in the lubricant world.

 

[MolaKule]

or redefine what 0 is. No one could seem to comprehend that possibility.

That right. What would be the defined 100C viscosity for the grade after the W? It is certainly not defined in any SAE classifications.

A 0W8 oil is already down to 5 cSt at 100C.
