Extended Protection Automatic Transmission Fluid – 6 Quarts

High Performance Motor Oil API LICENSED MOTOR OIL Royal Purple High Performance Motor Oil combines premium base oils with proprietary additive technologies to create a high performance synthetic engine oil that optimizes performance and protection. Royal Purple High Performance Motor Oils carry the current API and ILSAC engine oil licenses, as well as the GM dexos1 gasoline engine oil approval. ILSAC GF-6 AND GM DEXOS1 Modern gasoline direct injection (GDI) engines have achieved levels of power and fuel economy never before possible in passenger car engines. As a result, smaller engines operate at much higher loads across all engine speeds. This has caused increased wear in critical areas of the engine, and created a destructive phenomenon called low-speed pre-ignition (LSPI). The unique, state-of-the-art additive technology in Royal Purple High Performance engine oils is designed specifically to address these issues, and help engines maintain performance and reliability.

Product Features:

• Better Wear Protection
• Increased Protection against Low Speed Pre-Ignition
• Increased Fuel Efficiency
• Better Protection for Vehicle Exhaust Emissions Equipment
• Improved Compatibility with Fuels Containing Ethanol
• Superior Corrosion Protection
• Made in USA

Quaker State Full Synthetic Motor Oil SAE 5W-30 contains the most powerful formulation in the Quaker State portfolio. This product offers superior resistance to thermal and viscosity breakdown compared to Quaker State Synthetic Blend Motor Oil. As the engine temperature increases, the heat activated shear stable viscosity modifiers work to maintain oil film thickness that is necessary to prevent engine parts from metal on metal contact which helps extend engine life. This motor oil maintains its viscosity from start to finish, which means it stays in the grade specified by the car manufacturer throughout the recommended oil drain interval. The product also contains special detergents and dispersant additives that are designed to neutralize the harmful acids generated by the combustion process. This helps prevent the formation of sludge and deposits from forming on crucial engine parts. These properties of Quaker State Ultimate Durability full synthetic motor oil make it reliable and suitable for use in high performance vehicles such as sport cars, SUVs, trucks and minivans. It is compatible with biofuels, ranging from E10 to E85 and suitable for hybrid vehicles.
