SAE 0W-20 is a type of motor oil that meets the specifications set by the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE). The "0W" indicates the oil's viscosity at low temperatures, where "0" signifies it has good flow characteristics in cold conditions, allowing for easier engine starts in winter. The "20" refers to the oil's viscosity at high temperatures, indicating that it maintains adequate thickness to protect the engine during operation. Overall, 0W-20 oil is designed for fuel efficiency and engine protection across a range of temperatures.

Can you use sae 0w20 amsoil in place of 5w20?

Yes. SAE 0W20 means that the oil has zero viscosity in winter. This oil does not exist, which is just as well because if it did it would drain right down into the sump leaving the engine unlubricated. Several companies make a SAE 0w20, including AMSOIL and Toyota. In cold temperatures the oil is thicker than at warm temperatures. Because it has a lower viscosity, it lubricates the engine faster than a higher viscosity oil. Toyota is specifying 0w20 next year.

What is sae ow 20?

0w20 is a designation of the weight of oil. The 0 means it flows easily at cold tempertures. The 20 means it becomes a 20 weight oil at full operating tempertures. The w stands for winter.
