OIL THAT
BEATS
THE OTHERS COLD!
Cold weather starts are really tough on an engine. To protect
bearings, cam lobes, lifters and other components from long-term
metal-on-metal friction, engine oil has to flow freely and quickly from the
oil pump inlet to the top of the valvetrain. That’s why the low-temperature
pumpability of an oil is important.
The Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) defines the maximum
pumpability limit at a set temperature for each viscosity grade. The “W” in the classification system stands
for “winter” and means an engine oil labeled with the SAE viscosity grade will
have sufficient low temperature properties.
Not only does KubotaŇ Engine
Oil SAE 15W40 provide a wide safety margin over the SAE “15W” pumping
specification, it also meets the SAE “10W” pumping requirements. So when you start the engine on a cold
winter’s morning, KubotaŇ Engine Oil SAE 15W40 is there working
for you.
This is the kind of extra protection you can expect with KubotaŇ Engine Oils.
