Finding a cheap oil, out looking in stores here i Sweden

It´s a djungle out there, and I dont have much knowledge, but I´ll try to pick anyway..


Biltema motor oil or Swedol? Which one should you choose? This seems to be the most oil for the buck here in Sweden? Any opinios? I know this subject has lots of opinions.. :-)

In Swedish: Biltema oljor vs Swedol motorolja..

Big size picture: Comparing semi synthetic vs fully synthetic, not much diffrence ackording to the certification?

Price can be seen.

Front of Biltema motor oil.

These oil are sold by Swedol, a few crones cheaper, but are the better or worse than Biltema? Who knows?

Swedel semi synthetic oil.

The Swedol comes from Q8 oils. Cant be to bad right?

Swedol supergrade oil, only 130 swedish crones. It you anint got hot engine this might work for you.

One of the test standards Petroliuminstitut test and approve are the API (American Petrol Institute) and it starts with "S". The "higher" the second letter, the better the oil. Today's well "SN" the highest. "SJ" is slightly worse. "SH" yet meet lower requirements, etc.

So let us compare Swedol with Biltema.

Swedol Helsyntet SAE 5W-40 (225 SEK) : API SL/CF, ACEA A3/B3, CCMC G5, PD2. 4 liter.

Biltema: Helsyntetisk motorolja 5W–40 (279 SEK)

API SN/CF, ACEA A3/B3/B4, MB 229.3/229.5, BMW LL-01, VW 502.00/505.00, Porsche A40, RN 0700/0710, MB 226.5, GM-LL-025-B.

Biltema is the better choice according to that norm.
