SAE 0W-20
Full Synthetic Engine Oil 0W-20
High-volume modern service fill for petrol and hybrid engines specified on 0W-20, with cold-start flow down to -45 °C.
Car, 4WD & Light Commercial
Ester-fortified engine oils for modern low-viscosity service fills, turbocharged direct-injection engines and long factory drain intervals. Every grade is built to hold film strength at sump temperature, not just on the shelf.
10 grades in range
Why this range
Bohr Chemical passenger car engine oils are ester-fortified full synthetics formulated for turbocharged direct-injection petrol engines, hybrids and modern light-duty diesels. Each grade meets current ILSAC GF-7 and API SQ resource-conserving limits, so it protects timing chains and turbochargers while supporting factory long drain intervals and published fuel-economy targets.
Detergent and calcium/magnesium balance tuned to the LSPI limits of GF-7, protecting small-capacity turbo engines.
Ester and PAO base fluids hold HTHS viscosity at sump temperature instead of thinning out mid-interval.
Low pour points and strong pumpability move oil to the top end quickly, where most engine wear happens.
Typical applications
Featured grades
SAE 0W-20
High-volume modern service fill for petrol and hybrid engines specified on 0W-20, with cold-start flow down to -45 °C.
SAE 5W-30
The most widely specified grade in the range and the default choice for mixed petrol fleets, light towing and year-round service.
SAE 0W-16
The lightest service fill in the range, for late-model hybrids and small-displacement petrol engines factory-filled on ultra-low viscosity oil.

Common questions
Always follow the grade printed in the owner's handbook or oil cap. If the manufacturer specifies 0W-20, moving to a heavier grade can reduce fuel economy and slow oil delivery on cold start.
Yes. Every full synthetic grade is built on ester and PAO base fluids with high-detergency additive systems, which support manufacturer long drain intervals under normal service.
No. Resource-conserving car oils contain friction modifiers that can cause wet-clutch slip. Use the Bohr Chemical motorcycle range instead.
