Total oil delivery day at the shop

[FCD]

x1 208L of Classic 7 10W-40
x1 208L of Classic 9 C2-C3 5W-30
x1 208L of Quartz INEO C3 5W-40

I suspect the 10W-40 will be the one that gets used up the most, still a very popular viscosity here in Spain.

Time to tap that and get a drink? Where is the kegerator?

Thanks for those; nothing says 1977 like a drum of 10w-40. j/k Hasn't been a common viscosity in the US for a long time.

About 3 years ago when i worked at a local parts store we had to restock the 10w40 daily, meanwhile the 0w20 jugs just sat there collecting dust.

I Get conv. 5W-30; syn 5W-30; and syn 5W-20 delivered to my shop in drums. Conventional 5W-20 and syn 0W-20 are in bulk tanks, as they are much higher volume.

I agree it’s weird to see a drum of 10W-40; you don’t even see it in jugs up here much!

Same here in Australia, 10W40 is still very popular, and like the image you show above, it needs to be a Euro rated, high SAPS, shear stable, ACEA A3/B4 10W40.

With that being said a lot of shady shops use it in everything regardless of what oil x engine should have in it, just the other day i did an oil change on a Nissan Juke with the K9K Renault 1.5 DCi, that had 10w40 in it when the correct oil is an ACEA C4 rated 5W30.

Thank God it didn’t have a calibrated oil pump .

Bit naughty that, going up in viscosity I can handle, but they should always match the correct SAPS level.
