Description

77 Lubricants Motor Oil Synthetic 0W-16 is a very low-viscosity synthetic engine oil. It is intended for modern high-output and turbocharged petrol engines in cars, SUVs and light trucks, hybrids included, and is compatible with fuel containing up to 85 % ethanol (E85).

The oil is rated ILSAC GF-6B, the category created specifically for 0W-16, as well as API SP, API SN and API SN RC. The data sheet lists no manufacturer approvals.

The oil protects against low-speed pre-ignition (LSPI). Typical figures: kinematic viscosity 8.4 mm²/s at 100 °C, viscosity index 161, pour point -42 °C.

Application

Cars, SUVs and light trucks with modern high-output and turbocharged petrol engines, hybrids included; fuels with up to 85 % ethanol (E85) are permitted.

Worth knowing

At 100 °C this oil’s data sheet gives 8.4 mm²/s, a figure that does not fit the stated grade: SAE J300 sets an upper limit of 8.2 mm²/s for SAE 16. It is also higher than the figure for Motor Oil Synthetic 0W-20 (8 mm²/s), although at 40 °C the relationship is the usual one: 37.7 against 41.9 mm²/s. The other 0W-16 oils in the catalogue have no more than 7.6 mm²/s at 100 °C. The data sheet does not explain the discrepancy, so this row is unreliable for comparing oils.

The second point concerns the class. The data sheet names ILSAC GF-6B, the previous version of the category for 0W-16, while the current one is GF-7B. GF-6 oils have already dropped out of the API directory and lost the right to the “shield”, although they have not become worse for it, as the article on the API SQ and ILSAC GF-7 classes explains. Where the carmaker requires ILSAC, the article recommends GF-7B for 0W-16. The catalogue has no other 0W-16 from 77 Lubricants, and the 0W-20 in the same line is already a different SAE grade.
