Kixx has simplified its automotive lubricant lineup so that it’s easier to navigate by vehicle type, product line, performance tier, and label details. Start with what type of vehicle you drive, then choose what you need, and confirm your final choice using your owner’s manual.

Key Takeaways

• Kixx has reorganized its automotive lubricant lineup to make product selection simpler and faster.
• The lineup is now easier to navigate by vehicle type, product line, and performance tier.
• Your choice is based on three main factors: your vehicle, your needs, and your engine specifications.

What Has Changed in the Kixx Lubricant Lineup?

In 2025, Kixx renewed its brand and automotive lubricant lineup, making the system easier to understand at a glance. Instead of different naming structures across categories, the lineup now follows a more unified logic built around vehicle type, product family, and tier.

Passenger car engine oil is now split into the Kixx flagship line and the Kixx GX standard line. Commercial vehicle engine oil is under Kixx DX, and motorcycle oil under Kixx MX. Across the GX, DX, and MX product lines, Kixx now uses a unified 9 / 7 / 5 tier system so users can compare relative performance levels more easily — while the flagship line’s products are identified by their family names. Then, cues such as Euro, Diesel, and Scooter have also been added to help streamline selection.

 

How Is the Kixx Lineup Organized?

These are the three major product divisions of the renewed Kixx automotive lineup:

Passenger Car Engine Oil
The Kixx flagship line now includes Kixx PAO 100, Kixx PAO, Kixx BIO, and Kixx HYBRID — while the Kixx GX standard line includes GX9, GX7, and GX5. The product names may have other cues added, like Euro, Diesel, or Euro FE.

Commercial Vehicle Engine Oil
Commercial vehicle engine oils now sit under Kixx DX, with DX9, DX7, and DX5 solutions. Depending on the product, names can include cues such as PAO, DH-2, or CNG.

Motorcycle Oil
Motorcycle products are organized under Kixx MX, using MX9, MX7, and MX5. These names are then narrowed further with cues like 4T, 2T, and Scooter.

 

 

How Do I Choose the Right Kixx Oil?

Step 1. What Do You Drive?

The first question is the most important one: what kind of vehicle are you choosing oil for?

If you drive a passenger car, start with the Kixx flagship line or the Kixx GX line. If you drive a commercial vehicle like a truck or bus, look at Kixx DX. If you ride a motorcycle or scooter, go with Kixx MX. This immediately narrows down your selection.

 

Step 2. What Do You Need?

The next step is to use the performance tier and application cues.

For passenger cars, begin by choosing between the Kixx flagship line or the Kixx GX line. The flagship line includes premium products such as PAO 100, PAO, BIO, and HYBRID, while the GX line is organized into GX9, GX7, and GX5. GX9 is positioned as high-grade engine oil, GX7 as broad high-performance oil, and GX5 as a high-quality option for smart consumers.

For commercial vehicles, move through DX9, DX7, and DX5. DX9 is the premium-performance heavy-duty lineup, DX7 is high-grade and heavy-duty, and DX5 covers multi-grade heavy-duty applications, including low-ash CNG engine oils.

For motorcycles, a similar logical system has been applied to MX9, MX7, and MX5. MX9 is top-grade gasoline engine oil, MX7 is high-grade engine oil, and MX5 is high-performance oil formulated with low-ash additives.

As the above descriptions show, the numbers really matter in the renewed naming system — in the GX, DX, and MX lines, the numbers 9, 7, and 5 identify the tier, with higher numbers indicating higher performance levels. The flagship line’s products are identified by their family names instead, with the exception of PAO 100, which uses “100” to specifically indicate 100% PAO.

After that, use the remaining cues in the name to refine your choice. Depending on the product, those cues may point to engine type, fuel type, operating environment, or application type. Examples of these cues include Euro, Diesel, DL-1, CNG, and Scooter.

 

Step 3. Check the Label!

The final step is to check that the Kixx product label matches your owner’s manual and recommended specifications.

Start with the viscosity grade, such as 0W-20, 5W-30, or 10W-40, and make sure it’s right for your vehicle. Then check the specifications and approvals, such as API, ACEA, OEM, ILSAC, or JASO.

Also, make sure to confirm that the product is intended for the right engine, fuel type, or application.

 

How Can I Understand a Kixx Product Name at a Glance?

The brilliant thing about the new Kixx product names is that they work like a quick decoder. Take a name like Kixx GX9 Diesel C3 5W-30, which may initially seem complicated. GX tells you it is for passenger cars; 9 is the performance tier; Diesel is the application; C3 points to the relevant specification family; and 5W-30 is the viscosity grade.

The same logic works across the lineup. Here are two more key examples to demonstrate:

Kixx DX9 DH-2 CK-4/E11 10W-30 is a DX commercial vehicle product in tier 9, with a DH-2 application, CK-4/E11 specification, and 10W-30 viscosity.

Kixx MX9 Scooter SN 5W-40 tells riders it is an MX motorcycle product in tier 9, for scooter use, with the SN specification and a 5W-40 viscosity.

Thanks to the renewal, the product names all do the selection work for you.

 

 

Where Should I Start?

If you are new to Kixx’s renewed lineup, just start with three questions:

• What do I drive?
• What does my vehicle need?
• Does the label match my owner’s manual?

From there, view the product brochures at KixxOil.com or use the Product Finder if you need more clarification. This simplified guide is also the starting point for the upcoming Decoding Kixx series, which will take a closer, individual look at the Kixx flagship line, Kixx GX, Kixx DX and Kixx MX.
