Description

77 Lubricants Motor Oil MP 5W-40 is a fully synthetic full-SAPS engine oil for petrol and diesel engines in cars and vans, designed primarily for Mercedes-Benz and Porsche.

The oil is rated API SP and ACEA A3/B4 and holds official MB 229.5, VW 502.00 and VW 505.00 approvals. It meets the requirements of MB 226.5, MB 229.3, BMW Longlife-01 (marked “until 2019” in the data sheet), Renault RN0700, Renault RN0710, GM-LL-A-025, GM-LL-B-025, PSA B71 2296 and Chrysler MS-12991 without formal approval.

Typical figures: kinematic viscosity 14.3 mm²/s at 100 °C, viscosity index 177, pour point -33 °C, sulphated ash 1.3 %.

It is not intended for diesel engines fitted with a particulate filter.

Application

Mercedes-Benz, Porsche and other cars and vans with petrol and diesel engines that have no particulate filter.

Worth knowing

Two nearly identical 5W-40 oils from this brand differ mainly in the Mercedes sheet. Here MB 229.5 is officially approved and MB 229.3 only claimed, whereas in Motor Oil Synthetic 5W-40 the official one is MB 229.3 and MB 229.5 is not in the list. Both have VW 502.00 and VW 505.00 approvals, ACEA A3/B4, ash of 1.3 % and 14.3 mm²/s at 100 °C. Compared with MB 229.3, oils under the MB 229.5 approval save at least 1.8 % fuel. Of all the 77 Lubricants oils in the catalogue only this one holds the official MB 229.5, and only it claims PSA B71 2296 and Chrysler MS-12991; Synthetic instead names Fiat 9.55535-M2.

Two lines of the data sheet are narrower than they look. BMW Longlife-01 appears there as “BMW LL-01 until 2019”, without explaining what exactly is limited by that year. The description highlights Mercedes-Benz and Porsche, yet the specification list has no Porsche code of its own, so the data sheet offers no way to check this claim against a particular car’s requirement.
