If your vehicle is still under warranty, we recommend following factory recommendations for oil changes. This ensures that you comply with the warranty terms and conditions.
Vehicle manufacturers usually provide a range of recommended oil weights based on the climate in which the vehicle will be operated. As long as you use oil within this recommended range, you should not have any issues with your vehicle's warranty.
When it comes to oil weight, 0W-20 oils are specifically designed with fuel economy and EPA ratings in mind. They are formulated to provide better fuel efficiency and meet certain environmental standards. However, it is important to note that these oils may not offer the same level of engine protection as heavier-weight oils, especially for older or heavily modified vehicles.
Regardless of the oil weight you choose, the most important factor is that the oil meets the original equipment (OE) manufacturer's specifications in terms of detergents and lubricity modifiers. These additives are crucial for maintaining the performance and longevity of your engine.
To shop for oil change kits for your vehicle, head over to fcpeuro.com underneath "Select your Vehicle". Simply enter your Year, Make, Model, Submodel, and applicable trims. Once your car is selected at fcpeuro.com, our catalog is automatically filtered to show parts that fit your specific car.
Once your car is added to the selector, there are a couple of important ways that we advise correct fitment.
The first is the "fitment indicator" shown on the Product Page after selecting a part. This box is below the "add to cart button" and has two states. It will either say " Yes this part fits" or "Part may not fit, click to verify".
Sometimes the green box will be accompanied by extra fitment notes. These notes may be independent of the information gathered by the vehicle selector. IE: VIN-specific options, need to be taken into account when determining overall fitment.
