New Type of Oil This Year

[FlamingSpear]

December 1, 2016 two new types of oil will be intoduced to the US public.

One will be for engines 2016 and older.
Another will be for 2017 engines.

These oils will have greater viscosity properties and won't need to be changed as often. They are completely different than anything produced before them.

Technology continues to march along.

I'm sure the lower change frequency will be more than offset by a bump in price.

What are the changes coming to the 2017 engine that would require a different oil?

You left out that this is for diesel engine oil standards, not everything.

I have to use synthetic 0W-20 in my vehicle. Holy cow. Makes me want to drill my own well in the back yard.
