Application & Use
Valvoline Synpower 5W-20 is a full synthetic engine oil designed for cars and light trucks. It meets API and SAE standards for modern gasoline engines. The five-gallon box suits professional workshops and high-mileage fleets. It is not for diesel applications or machinery requiring different viscosity grades.
Viscosity Grade
The SAE 5W-20 rating defines cold-start flow and operating thickness for this product. Viscosity measures 46 at 40°C and 8 at 100°C with an index of 137. These figures determine whether the oil matches the engine manufacturer’s specification. Always confirm the required grade before purchase.
Thermal Stability
The formulation withstands temperatures from -24°F to 390°F with a pour point of -36°C. Flash point sits at 390°F, indicating resistance to vaporisation under sustained heat. Full synthetic base stocks maintain film strength during extended drain intervals. Cold starts remain reliable in sub-zero conditions.
