FAQ

What does SN/GF-5 mean?

SN and GF-5 are two API (American Petroleum Institute) specifications for motor oil. SN is the latest specification for gasoline engine oil and is designed to provide improved engine protection and fuel efficiency. GF-5 is a standard that is also designed to improve fuel efficiency, but it includes additional performance requirements, such as improved protection against engine wear.

What is synthetic blend motor oil?

Synthetic blend motor oil is a type of motor oil that combines synthetic and conventional base oils. The synthetic base oil provides better performance and protection than conventional oil, while the conventional oil helps keep the cost down. Synthetic blend motor oil is a good choice for drivers who want better performance than conventional oil but don’t want to pay the price for full synthetic oil.

Can I use this motor oil in my diesel engine?

No, FormulaShell Motor Oil is designed for use in gasoline engines only. It is not recommended for use in diesel engines.

How often should I change my motor oil?

The recommended oil change interval varies depending on the vehicle and driving conditions. In general, it is recommended to change the oil every 5,000 to 7,500 miles or every six months, whichever comes first. Check your vehicle’s owner’s manual for specific recommendations.

Can I mix different brands of motor oil?

It is generally not recommended to mix different brands of motor oil. Different brands may use different additives and base oils that can react with each other, potentially causing engine damage. Sticking with one brand of motor oil is best to ensure consistent performance and protection.
