What to know before buying

Listing details to confirm

Use only if the vehicle handbook calls for the stated 15W-40 grade and applicable specifications. The listing describes the oil as mineral and names R-TEC 35, while one manufacturer feature line says “fully synthetic” and calls it “15W-4”. The oil type and grade wording are inconsistent, so confirm the exact product specification before purchase.

Customer feedback is represented by aggregate ratings only, without written feedback to explain the reasons. The distribution is mostly five- and four-star, with a smaller one-star share, so responses are favourable overall but not uniform. Those ratings do not establish compatibility or resolve the listing's inconsistent oil-type wording. Check the handbook and exact product specification for your vehicle.
