Product Selection FAQs

How do I select the correct lubricant for my vehicle?+

Customers should always begin by referring to the owner's manual provided by the vehicle manufacturer. The manual generally specifies viscosity grades, performance standards, OEM approvals, and recommended service intervals.

Can I rely solely on information available on the website?+

No. Information available on the platform is intended as general guidance only. Customers should independently verify compatibility with OEM recommendations before making a purchase decision.

Using the wrong viscosity may result in inadequate lubrication, excessive wear, reduced efficiency, overheating, warranty concerns, or equipment damage.
