CODEX CNG OIL 20W50 RED/SN

Codex CNG Engine Oil 20W50 API SN is designed for use in compressed natural gas (CNG) engines, particularly in three-wheeler.

Let’s break down what each part of this specification means:

1. Viscosity Rating (20W50): The “20W” in 20W50 stands for the oil’s viscosity characteristics. In this case, “20W” means that the oil has a lower viscosity (flows more easily) at low temperatures, making it suitable for cold weather conditions. The “50” means that the oil has a higher viscosity (thickness) at high temperatures, providing adequate protection for the engine when it’s operating at elevated temperatures. This oil is often used in a wide range of temperatures, making it versatile for various climates and applications.
2. API (American Petroleum Institute): API is an organization that establishes standards for engine oils and other petroleum products. The API classification system provides information about the performance and quality of engine oils. The “SN” designation is one of the latest API service categories for gasoline engines, and it’s designed to provide improved protection for modern engines.
   • SN: API SN represents a high-quality engine oil designed for gasoline engines. It offers excellent protection against engine wear, deposits, and sludge formation. SN-rated oils are formulated to meet the needs of modern, fuel-efficient engines, and they are backward-compatible with older API service categories.

While Codex CNG Engine Oil 20W50 API SN is specified as suitable for gasoline engines, it may also be used in some CNG engines, particularly those that have gasoline-compatible components. However, it’s essential to check the engine manufacturer’s recommendations and guidelines for the specific three-wheeler you’re using to ensure that this oil meets the engine’s requirements. Using the correct oil is crucial for maintaining engine performance, efficiency, and longevity.
