Valvoline 881165 10W-30 Full Synthetic Motor Oil 5 Quart

Product Description

The VALVOLINE OIL COMPANY 881165 is a full synthetic 10W-30 motor oil sold in a 5-quart container. It is formulated to protect gasoline engines against the three primary causes of engine stress: heat, deposits, and wear. The oil meets GM dexos1 Gen2 and API SN PLUS specifications, making it suitable for modern gasoline direct injection (GDI) engines where low speed pre-ignition (LSPI) is a known concern. Automotive technicians and service professionals use this oil for standard engine oil changes and top-off service on compatible gasoline-powered vehicles.

This oil is intended for use in passenger cars, light trucks, and SUVs equipped with gasoline engines that require a 10W-30 viscosity grade. It is particularly well-suited for GDI engines, which operate under higher combustion pressures and temperatures than traditional port-injected engines. The GM dexos1 Gen2 approval makes it a direct fit for late-model GM vehicles requiring that specification. It is sold in a package quantity of 3 units per case.

Key Features

• Full synthetic formulation providing resistance to thermal breakdown under high operating temperatures
• Fights deposit formation to help keep engine internals clean
• Wear protection for metal engine components during cold starts and sustained operation
• Meets GM dexos1 Gen2 specification for late-model GM gasoline engines
• API SN PLUS rated, providing protection against low speed pre-ignition in GDI engines
• 5-quart container sized for a standard oil change with filter replacement

Compatibility

Approved for use in gasoline engines requiring a 10W-30 full synthetic motor oil meeting GM dexos1 Gen2 or API SN PLUS specifications, including gasoline direct injected engine applications.

Installation Notes

Oil changes should be performed by a qualified automotive technician following the vehicle manufacturer's recommended service intervals. Always shut off the engine and allow it to cool before draining oil to avoid burns from hot oil or engine components. Dispose of used motor oil in accordance with local environmental regulations. Verify the vehicle manufacturer's viscosity and specification requirements before filling.
