Discover a better engine, whether you’re driving a GM 3.0L Duramax or a passenger car, van, SUV light-duty truck. Let our 0W-20 oils unlock your engine’s true potential.

What Is 0W-20 Synthetic Oil?

0W-20 engine oil is a chemically engineered motor oil designed for modern engines. Let’s break down what the name means:

• – 0W: This part refers to the oil’s viscosity, or thickness, in cold temperatures. The “0” indicates that the oil flows well even in extreme cold weather. This easier flow helps protect your engine when you first start it. The “W” stands for winter, referring to the oil’s low temperature performance.
• – 20: The “20” represents the oil’s viscosity at the engine’s normal operating temperature. A lower number means thinner oil, which flows more easily while reducing friction.

Compared to conventional motor oil, synthetic oils are more durable. They provide better protection against engine wear and help keep your engine cleaner. High-performance 0W-20 suits newer vehicles or those that travel long distances.

Explore Hot Shot’s Secret 0W-20 Engine Oils

Hot Shot’s Secret infuses science and advanced FR3 Nano Technology into our oils. Both of our 100% synthetic 0W-20 products use Group III base oils. A viscosity level of over 120, combined with a hydrocracking refinement process, produces a purer oil. Group III oils offer significant engine protection, longevity and performance benefits. 

Here’s a breakdown of our performance-boosting 0W-20 oils.

RED DIAMOND™ Passenger Car Motor Oil

The RED DIAMOND™ Passenger Car Motor Oil is our 0W-20 synthetic oil for gas engines. It meets the demanding General Motors dexos™1 GEN 3 and API SP/GF-6A specifications. This 100% synthetic oil protects small, turbocharged GDI engines from low-speed pre-ignition. Superior anti-wear agents, antioxidants and detergent properties mean a longer-lasting engine. 

RED DIAMOND provides enhanced protection during startup. Its benefits include extended oil life, improved stability and excellent film strength. Boosted fuel economy makes this oil ideal for daily drivers or turbocharged cars. 

GREEN DIAMOND™ 0W-20 Light Duty Diesel Motor Oil

Our GREEN DIAMOND™ 0W-20 Light Duty Diesel Motor Oil is a 0W-20 synthetic oil for diesel engines. We designed this product for GM Duramax 3.0L engines that need the dexos D 0W-20 specification. It provides superior protection and excellent performance in extreme temperatures. Detergency, oxidation resistance and thermal stability properties prevent deposit or sludge formation. 

Shear resistance and friction reduction improve fuel mileage while extending engine life. Enjoy a cleaner, more wear-resistant engine. Our GREEN DIAMOND formula suits SUVs, light-duty trucks, turbochargers and other compatible engines.

What Makes Our Synthetic Oil Different?

Both RED DIAMOND and GREEN DIAMOND synthetic 0W-20 oils offer several benefits:

• – FR3 nano technology: Our engine oils contain FR3 Friction Reducer, an additive with three proprietary lubricants, including a nano lubricant. This combination decreases engine wear by up to 43%, boosting horsepower and fuel economy by 5%. 
• – Full synthetic oil: Hot Shot’s Secret 0W-20 oils are 100% Group III full synthetic. These pure oils offer better oxidation, heat resistance and low-temperature performance. 
• – Increased strength and power: The additives in our oils improve horsepower and torque. They keep the engine clean, prevent deposits and boost fuel combustion. 
• – Cold-start protection: Vehicles, like those with diesel engines, can struggle to start in cold weather. We engineer our 0W-20 oils for exceptional performance in extreme cold or heat.

Invest in the Right Synthetic Oil for Your Modern Engine

Whether you drive a passenger car or a light-duty diesel, your engine deserves the best. Hot Shot’s Secret delivers specialized formulas engineered for today’s vehicles. RED DIAMOND prevents wear and deposits in naturally-aspirated and turbocharged gas engines. For light-duty diesels, our GREEN DIAMOND motor oil provides unmatched protection and cleaning power.

FAQs

With all the options, choosing the right engine oil can feel daunting. We answered your burning 0W-20 questions to help you make an informed decision:

Which Is the Best 0W-20 Oil for my Vehicle?

The answer depends on your engine’s requirements. We created 0W-20 oils for passenger car or light-duty diesel use:

• – RED DIAMOND: This option suits vehicles requiring the dexos™1 GEN 3 General Motors specification or API SP/GF-6A. It exceeds many key performance requirements from Ford and Chrysler. Thanks to backward compatibility with previous SN Plus, SN and SM standards, you can also use it in older vehicles.
• – GREEN DIAMOND: Opt for this oil for your light-duty truck, van or SUV with a dexos D 0W-20 specification this includes the Duramax 3.0 engines. Avoid this oil for CF-4, CK-4, CI-4, CJ-4, and CI-4 Plus specification engines.

Always check your owner’s manual to confirm the right oil for your vehicle.

Can I Use 0W-20 Engine Oil Instead of 5W-20?

Yes, you can! 5W-20 and 0W-20 oils have the same viscosity at operating temperatures. The only difference is that 0W-20 has a lower viscosity in cold temperatures. 0W-20 flows better in colder weather, making starting easier and improving fuel economy.

Is 0W-20 Oil Good for High-Mileage Engines?

Our 0W-20 oils provide superior protection and performance for high-mileage engines. They extend your engine’s lifespan by reducing wear. A cleaner engine lasts longer, enhancing horsepower and fuel economy. The FR3 Friction Reducer can even help extend the intervals between oil changes.

How Often Should I Change My 0W-20 Oil?

Most auto manufacturers recommend changing oil every 5,000 to 15,000 miles. The same applies to 0W-20 oil. How often you change your oil depends on climate, operating conditions and whether your vehicle carries any loads. The best tool is an oil analysis to determine oil life Check your owner’s manual for your vehicle’s recommended oil change schedule.
