Keeping your fleet and heavy equipment in top shape starts with choosing the right oil. But with so many numbers on the label, it can feel complicated. Once you know how to read those grades, it’s easy to make the right decision every time.
Motor oils often appear as 10w-30 or 5w-40. The first number, before the “w” (which stands for winter), indicates how well the oil flows in cold temperatures. A lower number means the oil stays thinner in the cold, helping engines start smoothly. The second number reflects how thick the oil remains at high operating temperatures, protecting the engine from wear under heavy use. For instance, 10w-30 flows easily in winter yet offers reliable protection when engines run hot.
Gear oils work similarly but are built for harsher conditions and higher pressures. A grade like 75w-90 follows the same principle: the first number shows cold-weather flow, and the second shows high-temperature stability. Since gear systems endure more stress than engines, these oils are thicker, hence the higher numbers.
At Energie Fuel, we supply both motor oils and gear oils designed for mixed fleets and heavy equipment. From sedans and pick-up trucks to box trucks and construction machinery, we’ve got you covered. By choosing the right oils, you reduce wear, prevent breakdowns, and extend the life of your vehicles and equipment while keeping operations running smoothly.
