If the air temperature is only briefly mentioned here goes beyond the limits of temperature, the oil should not be replaced.

Gasoline engines

And - all-weather oils with the raised antifrictional properties, specification VW 500 00.

In - all-weather oils, specification VW 501 01 and all-weather oils, specifications API-SF or SG.

Diesel engines

Table viscosity of engine oils shown in Fig. The viscosity of motor oils.
