Description

77 Lubricants Motor Oil HT 0W-40 is a fully synthetic engine oil based on polyalphaolefins (PAO). It is intended for modern petrol and diesel engines in passenger cars.

The oil is rated API SQ and ACEA A3/B4. The data sheet lists no official approvals but claims that it meets the requirements of MB 226.5, MB 229.5, VW 502.00, VW 505.00, Porsche A40, BMW Longlife-01, Ford WSS-M2C937-A, Renault RN0700 and Renault RN0710.

Typical figures: kinematic viscosity 13.9 mm²/s at 100 °C, viscosity index 184, HTHS viscosity 3.8 mPa·s, pour point -51 °C, base number 10.3 mg KOH/g.

Application

Cars with modern petrol and diesel engines for which the manufacturer specifies ACEA A3/B4 or standards such as MB 229.5, VW 502.00/505.00 or Porsche A40.

Worth knowing

The data sheet puts the whole list of codes, from ACEA A3/B4 to VW 502.00/505.00, under the single word “Exceeds”. The data sheet for 77 Lubricants Motor Oil MP 5W-40 is laid out differently: MB 229.5 and VW 502.00/505.00 have a separate “Approved” row, and the rest stays under “Exceeds”. So the same numbers carry a different status in these two documents, but MP 5W-40 belongs to a different viscosity grade and does not replace 0W-40 where the car’s documentation specifies that grade. An oil’s official status is checked against the carmaker’s list; for MB 229.5 the article on this approval links to it.

Among 77 Lubricants oils in the catalogue this is the only 0W-40 and the only one claiming Porsche A40, so there is no choice within the brand. Other brands’ oils with this code are on the Porsche A40 page. Data sheets link Ford WSS-M2C937-A with the Focus RS on the 2.5 Duratec engine and HTHS viscosity of 3.5 mPa·s or more; here it is 3.8 mPa·s. The data sheet also gives the cold CCS figure: 5520 mPa·s at -35 °C, whereas the limit for grade 0W is 6200 mPa·s.
