EngineOilGuide is the most comprehensive free engine oil reference for US-market vehicles, covering 76 manufacturers and over 3,655 models from model years 2000 through 2026.

Every vehicle make has unique engineering requirements. Ford trucks like the F-150 typically use 5W-30, while modern Toyota and Honda models specify 0W-20 full synthetic. European brands like BMW, Mercedes-Benz, and Audi require 5W-40 or 0W-40 with manufacturer-approved specifications. Using the wrong grade — even by one viscosity step — can reduce fuel economy, increase engine wear, and void warranties.

Our database includes not just oil grade but also exact capacity in US quarts, compatible aftermarket oil filter part numbers (Fram, Mobil 1, Mann, Mopar), manufacturer-recommended service intervals in miles and months, and estimated oil change costs at US service centers.

Domestic brands — Ford, Chevrolet, GMC, Jeep, Ram, Dodge, Chrysler, Buick, Cadillac, Lincoln — cover the majority of vehicles on US roads. These brands typically use widely available 5W-20 or 5W-30 full synthetic oil with 5,000 to 10,000 mile service intervals depending on year and engine type.

Japanese brands — Toyota, Honda, Nissan, Subaru, Mazda, Lexus, Acura, Infiniti, Mitsubishi — often specify thinner grades like 0W-20 in modern fuel-efficient engines, with extended intervals up to 10,000 miles on full synthetic oil.

European brands — BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Audi, Volkswagen, Volvo, Porsche — require manufacturer-approved synthetic oils meeting specific certifications (BMW Longlife, MB-Approval, VW 502.00 etc.). Always verify your specific approval code before purchasing oil for these vehicles.
