If your car's handbook quotes the manufacturer's own specification, you must look for this on the oil container. Some other common car models recommend 0W-30 oil, which is similar to 5W-30 but will be less viscous at lower temperatures. Certain Vauxhall Astra, Vauxhall Corsa and MINI Cooper models recommend this. The viscosity for hot and cold will both be marked on the oil's container as a code e.g. 5W–30. The first part of the code is the cold temperature grade, and the second part is the high temperature grade. The ACEA is the acronym (in French) for the European Automobile Manufacturers' Association. It replaced the earlier CCMC in 1996. The association sets certain standards for engine oils.

Extended service intervals, smaller capacity sumps, turbo chargers and thinner, synthetic oils can all add up to higher oil usage. Engine oils aren’t all the same. You can't assume that the same oil you used for your last car will work for this one. Not all engines are the same, so it shouldn't be a surprise that oils aren't the same either. The specification is another way that engine oils differ.

Fully synthetic fuel economy low-SAPS oil for diesel & petrol engines and in particular suitable for vehicles fitted with Three Way Catalysts (TWCs) and Diesel Particulate Filters (DPFs) to meet European emissions requirements.

There are several different sets of standards around the world: and 5W-40 are 2 common types of engine oil that you might come across. The '5' refers to the viscosity in cold weather and the 'W' stands for 'winter'. The '30' or '40' refers to the oil flow at higher engine temperatures. '30' is often for newer petrol engines, while '40' is often for older or diesel engines. If you're struggling to find the right oil for your car, you could try the parts department of a manufacturer's dealer. Engine oils meeting the C1 specification will increase the life of after-treatment devices and improve the vehicle's fuel economy. Many car manufacturers develop their own engine oil specifications. Most notable are Volkswagen and Mercedes-Benz, but BMW, GM, Porsche, PSA and others also have their own.

The manufacturer may also give an acceptable equivalent ACEA or API specification, though this might be for 'emergency top-up only'. Fully synthetic engine oils offer increased engine protection and longer engine life, reduced friction and enhanced lubrication during extreme chilly weather starts and increased fuel economy. and 5W-40 oils are compatible with some models of common cars, like the Ford Focus, Ford Ka, Honda Civic and VW Golf. Modern car engines need oils that are really durable, and last for thousands of miles between services. Modern oils protect against corrosion and sludge formation, and contain detergent additives to keep the engine clean.
