Description

77 Lubricants Motor Oil DX1 5W-30 is a synthetic engine oil from the Motor Oil DX1 line for modern high-output petrol engines, turbocharged ones included, in cars, SUVs and light trucks.

It is rated API SQ, SP and SN RC, and ILSAC GF-7A. It holds no official approvals; the maker states that it meets the requirements of GM dexos1 Gen 3, GM 4718M and GM 6094M, Ford WSS-M2C961-A1, Chrysler MS-6395 and Chrysler MS-13340.

The formulation protects against low-speed pre-ignition (LSPI) and is compatible with fuel containing up to 85 % ethanol (E85).

Typical data-sheet figures: kinematic viscosity 10.6 mm²/s at 100 °C, viscosity index 171, pour point -39 °C, base number 8.4 mg KOH/g.

Application

Modern high-output petrol engines, turbocharged ones included, in cars, SUVs and light trucks that call for GM dexos1 Gen 3; suitable for ethanol blends up to E85.

Worth knowing

Of the 11 passenger-car 5W-30 oils from 77 Lubricants in the catalogue, ILSAC GF-7A is recorded for this one alone, and its entry has no ACEA class at all. The requirements here are American, and the maker presents every GM, Ford and Chrysler code as a statement of compliance. MS-6395 is a Chrysler standard based on ILSAC, and among Ford’s North American codes WSS-M2C961-A1 is the one that corresponds to 5W-30 viscosity. If the manual of a car from the USA lists an older ILSAC grade, GF-5 or GF-6A, API itself, as the article on API SQ and ILSAC GF-7 reports, recommends a GF-7A oil in the viscosity the carmaker specified.

For a European engine that calls for VW 504.00, VW 507.00 or MB 229.52, the brand has Motor Oil VX 5W-30 with ACEA C3 and API SP, where those three numbers stand as approvals rather than as statements of compliance. The VX entry has no American GM, Ford or Chrysler codes.
