With the prices of everything going up these days, we’d all like to be able to save money where we can. Fortunately, Royal Purple has just come up with a way for you to save money on the fuel and maintenance costs of your vehicle without skimping on quality. Introducing the new zero weight synthetic motor oil, 0W-20. Not only does this oil have the potential to save you money when it comes to your vehicle, you can also rest assured that your engine is still protected.

If you’ve looked at new cars lately, you might have seen that some manufacturers are creating models that recommend the use of a zero weight motor oil as opposed to a heavier weight one, like 10W-30 for example. This new calling is to better improve the fuel efficiency of the vehicle.

You might be thinking to yourself, oil and gasoline are two very different things, and you would be right. However, they go hand in hand when it comes to the performance of your engine.

Zero weight motor oils move through your engine more freely, or have a lower viscosity than heavier weight ones. Viscosity is a measure of how thick a liquid is or how resistant it is to flowing, i.e. water has a lower viscosity than honey. Just like this, a zero weight motor oil like Royal Purple’s 0W-20 has a lower viscosity than a larger weight oil like 10W-40. This means your engine doesn’t have to work as hard to move the lesser weight oil through.

The last number of an oil’s name, like “20” from 0W-20 oil or “40” from 10W-40 oil, tells you what that oil’s viscosity is. The smaller the number, the easier it will be for the oil to more throughout your engine at operating temperatures.

With less power needed to move the oil around, the engine needs less gas to run efficiently. This increases the fuel economy of your vehicle. Zero weight motor oils are also good for low temperature protection, lubrication uniformity and friction reduction.

The zero weight motor oil from Royal Purple is fully synthetic, increasing the life of the oil by thousands of miles. This means fewer oil changes and lower maintenance costs over the life of your vehicle. Royal Purple’s 0W-20 also gives you added wear and anti-corrosion protection, extended emissions protection, and an increased ethanol compatibility for flex-fuel vehicles.

Whether you’ve got a brand new car or something that’s a bit older, Royal Purple’s new zero weight oil is ready to help you save money on maintenance and fuel. In fact, drivers who use the new oil can see up to a five percent reduction in their costs. If you can save five percent during the life of your vehicle, there’s no telling what else you could buy. Did anyone else hear “performance upgrades?”
