Description

77 Lubricants Motor Oil Semi-Synth 5W-30 is a general-purpose semi-synthetic engine oil blended from mineral and synthetic base oils. It is intended for petrol and diesel engines in cars and vans.

The data sheet describes it as suitable where API SP RC (Resource Conserving) or ILSAC GF-6A is required; it lists no manufacturer approvals.

Typical figures: kinematic viscosity 10.5 mm²/s at 100 °C, viscosity index 174, pour point -45 °C, base number 8.2 mg KOH/g.

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

Application

Cars and vans with petrol and diesel engines that require API SP RC or ILSAC GF-6A. Not for diesels with a particulate filter.

Worth knowing

Both of this oil’s codes are petrol codes, although the data sheet aims it at diesel engines too. The letter S at the start of API SP RC marks an oil for a petrol engine, and the double entry with a slash, used for an oil for both engine types, is explained in the article on decoding the API code; ILSAC too sets requirements for petrol car engines. The list has no diesel class of the kind a service book may demand. Among the brand’s 5W-30 oils, one that has it is Motor Oil CT 5W-30: API CF alongside API SP, ACEA C2 and C3, sulphated ash 0.79 %. Motor Oil MP 5W-30 has ACEA A3/B4 and 1.3 % ash.

The reverse case, where exactly these codes are needed, is narrow too: among 77 Lubricants oils in the catalogue, API SP RC is recorded only here, and no other 5W-30 of this brand has GF-6A; the related Motor Oil DX1 5W-30 carries API SN RC. The data sheet presents both codes as “suitable for use where … required”. It calls the oil fuel-saving, and its viscosity at 100 °C is 10.5 mm²/s against 12.2 in the CT.
