About the range

Passenger and light commercial engine oils are formulated for cars, vans and light commercial vehicles, balancing wear protection, fuel economy and compatibility with modern emissions systems.

Gem Oils supplies a range of mineral, semi-synthetic and fully synthetic products across common viscosity grades to suit petrol, diesel and hybrid applications, matched to ACEA categories and OEM approvals.

Modern passenger and light commercial vehicles increasingly specify low-viscosity, low-SAPS oils to protect emissions after-treatment systems and support fuel efficiency. Our technical team can confirm the correct grade against your manufacturer’s handbook.

Common Questions

Passenger And Light Commercial Products FAQs

Answers to the questions we are most commonly asked by garages, fleet operators, and motor factors. For vehicle-specific advice, contact our technical team directly.

This range covers private cars, vans and light commercial vehicles running petrol, diesel or hybrid engines. Products are available across mineral, semi-synthetic and fully synthetic grades, matched to common ACEA and OEM specifications including low-SAPS formulations for vehicles fitted with diesel particulate filters or petrol particulate filters.

Low-SAPS oils contain reduced levels of sulphated ash, phosphorus and sulphur. These elements can block or damage diesel particulate filters and catalytic converters over time. Most modern diesel and some petrol vehicles specify a low-SAPS oil. Check your owner’s handbook for the required ACEA specification — C2 and C3 categories are low-SAPS grades. Our technical team can confirm the correct product for your vehicle.

The correct viscosity grade is specified by the vehicle manufacturer and is printed in the owner’s handbook or on the oil filler cap. Common grades include 5W-30, 5W-40 and 0W-20. Always use the grade specified by the manufacturer rather than substituting a different grade, as incorrect viscosity can affect engine protection and may affect warranty validity.
