Viscosity measures oil’s thickness and flow resistance. It ensures proper lubrication across temperatures—too thin risks wear, too thick reduces efficiency. Aminol oils are formulated for optimal viscosity to protect and enhance engine performance.
Mixing different types of oils should be minimized. We recommend fully draining the used oil before replacing it with new oil. We do not advise mixing different oils, as it’s impossible to assess the performance characteristics of the resulting blend or determine how compatible the products are.
Check your vehicle’s manual for manufacturer recommendations, then consider driving conditions (e.g., frequent short trips shorten intervals). Aminol oils often extend intervals due to their durability—consult our product guides or a mechanic.
Synthetics offer better heat resistance, longer life, reduced sludge, and improved fuel economy. Aminol synthetic lubricants provide superior engine protection, especially under extreme conditions.
Yes, it’s safe and often beneficial, as synthetics reduce wear. However, older seals may leak due to synthetic’s cleaning properties—monitor for leaks and consult a professional if unsure.
API (American Petroleum Institute) and ACEA (European Automobile Manufacturers’ Association) indicate performance standards. The API classification is primarily for vehicles of American origin, and some Asian manufacturers also rely on it, while ACEA regulates compliance with the requirements of European-made engines. You can choose an Aminol product that meets your vehicle’s needs. The required performance level can be found in your vehicle’s owner’s manual.
High temperatures require thicker oils (higher viscosity) to maintain a protective film, while cold climates need lower viscosity for easy startups. Aminol offers multi-grade oils like 5W-30 for versatility.
Too thin oil leads to metal-on-metal contact and wear; too thick oil strains the engine and lowers efficiency. Always consider your vehicle’s manual for manufacturer recommendations.
No, color alone isn’t reliable—new oil darkens naturally with use.
Take it to a recycling center or auto shop—don’t dump it. Aminol supports eco-friendly practices; store used oil in sealed containers until disposal.
Aminol lubricants last 3-5 years unopened if stored in a cool, dry place away from sunlight. Check the label for exact dates and keep containers sealed.
City driving (stop-and-go) stresses oil more, needing robust additives like in Aminol synthetics. Highway driving suits most oils, but synthetics still optimize longevity and efficiency. Always consider your vehicle’s manual for manufacturer recommendations.
The first number (e.g., 5W) indicates cold-start viscosity (“W” = winter); a lower number means better flow in cold conditions. You can select the "winter" viscosity class based on the climate where your equipment operates—the lower the number before "W," the better the oil performs at lower temperatures, protecting your engine. The second number (e.g., 30) represents high-temperature viscosity—higher means thicker oil at operating heat. Choose this viscosity class based on your engine manufacturer’s requirements, as it depends primarily on the engine’s design.
For passenger car diesel engines, the same oils as those for gasoline engines are typically suitable—pay attention to classifications like ACEA “B” types (for example ACEA B4), which are designed for diesel engines in this category. However, for heavy-duty diesel engines under high load, specialized oils are required, such as Aminol lubricants meeting ACEA “E” or API “C” ratings (e.g., CJ-4). These feature additives tailored to handle higher soot and wear demands, distinct from gasoline oils. Check your engine’s requirements and look for these certifications on our products.
Aminol oils include detergents (cleaning), dispersants (sludge control), anti-wear agents (protection), and antioxidants (longevity)—enhancing performance and engine life.
Buy from authorized Aminol distributors, check for sealed packaging, and verify batch numbers on our website. Avoid suspiciously cheap deals—quality matters.
If your equipment is under warranty, you must use oils approved by the manufacturer to avoid voiding the warranty. After the warranty period, oils meeting the required standards (e.g., API, ACEA) listed in your manual are sufficient. Aminol oils are of the highest quality, exceeding many OEM requirements, ensuring both warranty compliance during the warranty period and exceptional performance afterward.
Low-viscosity Aminol synthetics reduce friction, improving mileage and power output while cutting emissions—saving money and wear over time.
