Can I use a 5W-40 engine oil if my owner's manual recommends 5W-30?

In many cases yes, but it is best to follow your vehicle manufacturer's specification. The 40 indicates a slightly thicker oil at operating temperature; check that the oil still meets the API/ACEA and OEM approvals listed in your manual, or contact our team for advice on your specific vehicle.

What is the difference between hydraulic HM and HV grade oils?

HM oils are anti-wear hydraulic oils for systems operating at relatively stable temperatures, while HV oils have a higher viscosity index, meaning they maintain more consistent viscosity across a wider temperature range, making them better suited to outdoor or variable-temperature applications.

Greyhound G-Premium 10W40 SN/CF Engine Oil

G-Premium 10W40 synthetic oil (SN/CF) is an advanced synthetic-technology engine oil engineered to protect high-performance petrol and diesel engines. Because it delivers a low coefficient of friction together with strong oxidation stability, this premium lubricant provides dependable wear protection for passenger cars, SUVs and light commercial vehicles operating in demanding South African conditions.

As a synthetic-technology product, G-Premium 10W40 synthetic oil flows reliably on cold starts. The 10W rating ensures reliable cold-start flow in low temperatures, while the 40 grade maintains a strong protective film at high operating temperatures. As a result, critical components such as pistons, bearings and valve trains stay protected across a wide range of driving conditions, from city traffic to long highway runs and heavily loaded fleet duty.

Engine Protection and Performance

In addition, this engine oil is formulated with advanced synthetic base oils and a balanced additive package. Therefore it resists thermal breakdown, controls deposit and sludge formation, and helps maintain engine cleanliness over extended drain intervals. Furthermore, this G-Premium 10W40 synthetic oil is recommended as a replacement for engine oils with lower API characteristics, such as SM, SL, SJ, SH and SG, which makes it a versatile upgrade for mixed vehicle fleets.

Key Features:

Advanced synthetic technology for superior engine protection and longer engine life
Low coefficient of friction for improved fuel economy and reduced component wear
Suitable for both petrol and diesel engines in mixed fleets
Excellent thermal and oxidation stability for extended oil-drain intervals
Reliable cold-start performance and strong high-temperature film strength
