Description

77 Lubricants Motor Oil Synthetic 0W-30 is a fully synthetic full-SAPS engine oil based on polyalphaolefins (PAO). It is intended for modern petrol and diesel engines in cars and vans.

The oil is rated API SL and ACEA A3/B4. It holds no official approvals but meets the requirements of MB 226.5, MB 229.5, VW 502.00, VW 505.00, BMW Longlife-01, Renault RN0700, Renault RN0710 and Volvo VCC 95200356.

Typical figures: kinematic viscosity 12.1 mm²/s at 100 °C, viscosity index 180, pour point -51 °C, sulphated ash 1.51 %.

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

Application

Cars and vans with modern petrol and diesel engines without a particulate filter, where ACEA A3/B4, MB 229.5 or VW 502.00/505.00 is specified.

Worth knowing

The sulphated ash of 1.51 % comes close to the 1.6 % limit that ACEA sets for the full-SAPS A/B classes, while in the brand’s other 0W-30 oils that list it, it is much lower. Motor Oil VX 0W-30, at almost the same viscosity (12.3 against 12.1 mm²/s at 100 °C), has 0.7 % ash, ACEA C3 and states VW 504.00, VW 507.00 and BMW Longlife-04, a different set of codes, not a “cleaner” version of this one. Motor Oil CP 0W-30, with ACEA C2 and 0.79 % ash, is noticeably thinner at 9.5 mm²/s.

For Mercedes the exact number matters: MB 229.5 and its successor MB 229.6 do not automatically replace each other, and Motor Oil VLV 0W-30 states MB 229.6 with ACEA A5/B5 but not MB 229.5. The formal VW 502.00 and VW 505.00 approvals in the line belong to Motor Oil Synthetic 5W-40, but its viscosity is different, and MB 229.5 and Volvo VCC 95200356 are not in its list; this Volvo code is named only here among the brand’s oils in the catalogue. Of the API classes, the data sheet gives only SL, whereas the line’s 5W-40 and 10W-30 state API SP.
