Overview
High performance 100% synthetic lubricant designed for gasoline or diesel engines, naturally aspirated or turbocharged, indirect or direct injection Unique formula provides better protection against engine wear and LSPI; enhanced valvetrain and chain wear protection; increased oxidation stability; better deposit control; enhanced corrosion and sludge protection Suitable for use in Sport Utility Vehicles (SUVs) equipped with GPF/DPF, requiring API SP and/or ACEA C3 grade lubricant Perfect for urban or off-road usage
Compatibility
Compatibility information not available.
Key Features
- API SP standard: fully backward compatible over API SN and all former standards; outstanding oxidation resistance, better anti-deposit protection, better engine cleanliness, anti-wear protection, enhanced cold-temperature performance for fuel economy; adds LSPI protection for downsized direct-injection turbocharged gasoline engines vs API SN/SN Plus
- Full compatibility with biofuels: LPG, CNG, Bioethanol up to E85
- ACEA C3: significant oil film resistance and low emission performance for powerful gasoline and diesel engines; synthetic base stocks and dedicated SAPS levels generate outstanding oil film resistance, reduce friction, and provide after-treatment device compatibility
- High wear protection and high-temperature resistance for better-controlled oil consumption
- Enables extended drain intervals managed by the vehicle's on-board computer
- Numerous OEMs (KIA/HYUNDAI, HONDA, MITSUBISHI, NISSAN, SUZUKI, SSANGYONG) recommend an ACEA C3 lubricant for most of their vehicles, especially diesels with DPF
- Also suitable for light-duty vehicles
Applications
- SUVs equipped with GPF (Gasoline Particulate Filter) or DPF (Diesel Particulate Filter)
- Gasoline or diesel engines, naturally aspirated or turbocharged, direct or indirect injection
- Vehicles from OEMs recommending ACEA C3 (KIA/Hyundai, Honda, Mitsubishi, Nissan, Suzuki, SsangYong), especially diesels with DPF
- Urban or off-road usage; light-duty vehicles
