Houston - ConocoPhillips Company, the fourth largest U.S. lubricants supplier, announced today that a 76 High Performance™ Full Synthetic SAE 0W-20 Motor Oil will be added to its current engine oil offerings. The new 76 High Performance Full Synthetic 0W-20 motor oil fulfills, and in some cases surpasses, the latest performance requirements of ILSAC GF-4 and API SM. It is recommended for use in Asian OEM vehicles such as Honda and Toyota and certain other late-model import vehicles, including several gas-electric hybrids, where the automaker specifies use of a SAE 0W-20 engine oil, according to Clarence McCollum, Director, Automotive Products, ConocoPhillips Company.
“Long term engine protection is top-of-mind for the majority of passenger car owners today,” said McCollum. “76 High Performance Full Synthetic 0W-20 motor oil offers drivers a variety of performance benefits, including protection against sludge formation and improved fuel economy, which has become increasingly important to drivers. In addition to these benefits, this new viscosity grade provides excellent wear protection; making it a smart upgrade for consumers driving late-model import vehicles.”
76 High Performance Full Synthetic 0W-20 offers the following performance benefits:
- Improved Fuel Economy Performance for vehicles where OEM’s recommend 5W20 & 0W20 engine oils
- High resistance to viscosity and thermal breakdown at high temperatures
- Provides protection against sludge and varnish formation
- Protects against rust and bearing corrosion

Key performance benefits attributed to the new 76 High Performance Full Synthetic 0W-20 motor oil also include improved low temperature flow capabilities, which enable easier engine start up and faster oil circulation at low temperatures. These improvements help to ensure that the oil can endure the rigorous performance demands of today’s high-tech engines.
