What oil do I need for a Fiat Grande Punto?

FIAT GRANDE PUNTO (06+) BRITOIL FULLY SYNTHETIC ENGINE OIL 5W30.

Can I use 15W-40 instead of 15w30?

No, the oil doesn’t thicken, the hot 40 weight will still be thinner than cold 15 weight, but the oil doesn’t thin out as much as a single viscosity oil. The 15W-40 will be more viscous at operating temperature than the 15W-30, but will offer the same starting qualities.

Is 5w30 better than 15W40?

Probably not. 15w40 is usually used in diesel engines and has a much different additives profile. 5w30 is usually used in gasoline engines. Diesel oil is designed with high antiwear additives such a ZDDP.

When should I use 15W40 oil?

ADVANTAGE 15W-40 HEAVY DUTY DIESEL ENGINE OIL can be used with complete success in over-the-road diesel trucks, off-highway diesel equipment, farm tractors, and passenger cars and light trucks with diesel, turbo-charged diesel engines, or gasoline engines and is backward compatible with previous API Oil Categories.

How cold is 15W40 good for?

“W” commonly refers to winter, meaning the oil has been tested at cold temperatures. “Diesel has the widest performance range with 5W40,” says Mark Betner of Citgo. “Its starting temperature range is down to minus 22 F (compared with 15-plus with 15W40) up to 122 degrees F (same as 15W40).

Can you run 15w40 in winter?

If the lowest temps you see are in the teens, 15w40 will be fine, although I wouldn’t recommend the Rotella T 15w40. The pour point of the Shell is only -15. Not that you will see temps that cool, and even if you did if the truck was plugged in it wouldn’t be an issue.

Is 15w40 good in winter?

The viscosity chart in my manual states that 15w40 is fine for anything above 20 degrees, 5w40 is good for cold weather through -20. 10w30 can be used up to 40 degrees, but you can’t tow or haul with this oil, so it’s out of the question.
