10w-40 is an all-purpose oil that can be used in most motor vehicles, however it is best to use whatever oil is recommended by the manufacturer, especially if you are pulling a trailer or other severe service.

In a generic sense, 10w40 is thicker at colder temperatures however they are similar at operating temperatures.

10W30 would be used in cold climate. 10W40 would be used in hot climate. 30 and 40 means the thickness viscosity when warmed up.

What oil do you need for scooter 125cc?

technically the 125CC runs best on 10W40 synthetic oil, 5W30 is a little thin for an air cooled engine.


What type of oil goes into a 1993 Jeep Grand Cherokee?

Of course you should always follow the owner's manual recommendations but our jeeps don't need anything special in the way of oil. For a 95 synthetic would be a waste of money and that high mileage oil seems to be a gimmick. So, use the same type of oil every 3000 miles with a new filter and 10W30 or 10W40 would be fine. If you're leaking or burning a lot of oil (more than a quart every oil change) go ahead and use a less expensive oil if you want to. These vehicles don't live forever.


What grade of oil is best for a 2001 jeep Cherokee?

Although it depends a little bit on where in the world you live I would suggest that a good quality 10W40 will do just fine. Some will tell you that a 5W30 is better and it might be if you live in a cold climate. Just use a broad multi viscosity oil and you'll be fine. I would stay away from single viscosity oils such as 30 weight or 50 weight. The MOST important thing is to change your oil and filter every 3000 miles or less.


What type of oil goes in a Honda rancher 350?

Most any "High Quality" oil (Honda, Castrol, Valvoline, Spectro) will work fine as long as it is the right "Viscosity" for the temperature in which you are operating your ATV in. The most versitile viscosity I have found in the climate I ride is SAE 10W40 it will work well from (minus) -10F to +105F. The oils NOT recommended for use are: API SH or higherdisplaying a circular API "Energy Conserving" label on the container. These may affect lubrication and clutch performance. Also NEVER use "Non-Detergent, vegetable or castor based racing oils. Thanks RJ
