What do the SAE viscosity numbers (e.g., 5W 40) mean?
SAE stands for the Society of Automotive Engineers, which sets the global standard for classifying oil viscosity (thickness).
• 5W (Winter): The "W" stands for Winter. A lower number means the oil flows faster during cold starts, protecting your engine the moment you turn the key.
• 40: This indicates the oil's thickness at operating temperature (100°C). A higher number provides a stronger, more stable protective film, which is essential under high heat and heavy loads.
How do I choose the right viscosity for my driving conditions?
Always start with your vehicle manufacturer’s (OEM) manual.
• For a quick, accurate match, use our Official Oil Guide: https://www.rowe-oil.com/en/oil-guide
• If you need personalized advice for Malaysia’s climate and traffic, simply WhatsApp us your car model and year.
Follow your vehicle manufacturer’s recommended service interval (typically 7,000km - 10,000km). If you frequently face heavy traffic or push your car to its limits, we suggest slightly shorter intervals to keep your engine running at its peak.
What do API and ACEA specifications represent for my engine?
These are the industry's "quality stamps" :
• API (American): Focuses on engine durability and emission systems.
• ACEA (European): Sets more rigorous, complex performance requirements tailored to the sophisticated engineering of European engines.
An OEM approval (like VW, BMW, or Mercedes-Benz) is a certificate of compatibility. It proves the oil has passed the manufacturer’s own lab tests, ensuring it won't harm sensitive engine components, will protect your warranty, and will deliver the intended performance.
