Frequently Asked Questions

My owners’ manual specifies an oil meeting API SE. Can I use Caltex Havoline Formula?

Havoline.com: Products: EAME: FAQ
Yes. Caltex Havoline Formula exceeds the API SL classification which encompasses all earlier API classifications, including API SJ and SH and the obsolete SG, SF, SE, etc. Although API is a U.S. classification, it is widely used by manufacturers from other countries. Check the owners’ manual for your Japanese car, it will almost certainly recommend engine oil using the API system. Further, Havoline Formula was developed with the needs of the Japanese cars in mind.

Caltex Havoline Formula meets the API SL classification but what does this mean to me?

Havoline.com: Products: EAME: FAQ
The latest engine designs have resulted in increasing demands on motor oils to provide improved protection. The stringent API SL classification reflects these requirements and is now demanded by vehicle manufacturers. Caltex Havoline Formula meets these performance demands and goes beyond them, thus offering superior protection against engine wear and deposits.

How does Caltex Havoline Formula control oil consumption?

Havoline.com: Products: EAME: FAQ
Caltex Havoline Formula controls oil consumption by resisting structural break-down, thereby maintaining its viscosity for the life of the oil. Oil consumption is further reduced by control of high-temperature evaporation as evidenced by its performance in the most stringent European ACEA volatility test. In addition, it keeps the pistons free from deposits, enabling the piston rings to maintain a positive seal.

In a few simple words, why should I use Caltex Havoline Formula in my car?

Havoline.com: Products: EAME: FAQ
No they are not. Caltex Havoline Formula actually provides extra protection for your engine. It is false economy to buy a cheap, low quality oil and try to compensate for this by changing the oil more frequently. These oils only have enough additives to give your engine minimum protection, and for a relatively short time. Once they are used up, they no longer perform at all. In the long run this means more services for your car, more oil changes and more replacements of expensive engine parts.

Is Caltex Havoline Formula suitable for use in vehicles using unleaded gasoline?

Havoline.com: Products: EAME: FAQ
Yes. Caltex Havoline Formula is formulated for use with both unleaded and leaded gasoline. In fact, the qualifying tests for API certification are run using unleaded fuel. Also, Caltex Havoline Formula is specifically formulated to protect emission control devices such as catalytic converters and oxygen sensors, which are often used with unleaded fuel.

Why should I use Caltex Havoline Energy in my car?

Havoline.com: Products: EAME: FAQ

Havoline.com: Products: EAME: FAQ
Yes. All cars benefit from Caltex Havoline Formula’s friction-fighting properties, high temperature stability and improved deposit control, irrespective of age. These three key properties provide improved performance and prolonged engine life.

Can Caltex Havoline Formula be used in other gasoline engines?

Havoline.com: Products: EAME: FAQ
Yes, in viscosity grades SAE 10W-30 and above Caltex Havoline Formula can be used in other four-stroke gasoline engines such as those fitted to many motor cycles, lawn mowers, portable power equipment, etc.

Is fuel consumption the only benefit if I use Caltex Havoline Energy in my car?

Havoline.com: Products: EAME: FAQ
No, the engine will receive complete protection against starting friction and wear, heat stress, and engine deposits. Because of the reduced fuel consumed, fewer harmful exhaust emissions are produced. Caltex Havoline Energy is also compatible with catalysts where fitted, preventing untimely catalyst degradation and maintaining control of exhaust emissions. So users of Caltex Havoline Energy are also helping the environment.

How can I use AMSOIL when my owners manual says I must use a 5w-20 motor oil in my engine?

Frequently Asked Questions Concerning AMSOIL Products
You do not need to use a 5W-20 oil. Do not let your dealer/owner's manual scare you by telling you that you have to use it for your warranty.

See the 5w-20 Issue for more detailed information.

What benefits does the use of a fully synthetic base fluid bring to Caltex Havoline Fully Synthetic?

Havoline.com: Products: EAME: FAQ
Several. Firstly, superior resistance to oxidation. Oxidation is an oil degradation process caused by the oil combining with oxygen in the air and accelerated at the higher temperatures experienced in an engine. It shortens the life of the oil and, if the oil is not replaced in time, your engine may be damaged. Secondly, reduces volatility. Particularly in newer engine designs, evaporation can be a significant contributor to oil consumption.

My car is an older model. Will it benefit from using Caltex Havoline Energy?

Havoline.com: Products: EAME: FAQ
Caltex Havoline Energy is designed for use in modern, high performance engines where the manufacturer recommends the highest performance motor oil. Caltex Havoline Energy is generally recommended for use in newer gasoline passenger cars in place of motor oils having viscosities from SAE 5W-30 to SAE 15W-40.

Why is Caltex Havoline Fully Synthetic more expensive than "conventional" motor oils?

Havoline.com: Products: EAME: FAQ
Synthetic base fluids are manufactured over a number of complex chemical stages and are thus inherently more expensive than base oils extracted from petroleum.

My car is an older model. Will it still benefit from Caltex Havoline Fully Synthetic?

Havoline.com: Products: EAME: FAQ
Definitely. The benefits of greater oxidation resistance and reduced wear on starting are directly applicable to older cars. Also, the use of Caltex Havoline Fully Synthetic may result in lower fuel and oil consumption depending on the viscosity grade of "the conventional" motor oil you are currently using. A short answer to this question is "Yes". However, oil drain intervals are specified by vehicle manufacturers and published in owner’s manuals.
