Description

77 Lubricants Motor Oil Synthetic 10W-40 is a synthetic full-SAPS engine oil for cars and vans. It suits petrol and diesel engines, both naturally aspirated and turbocharged.

The oil is rated API SP and ACEA A3/B4 and holds official MB 229.3 approval. It meets the requirements of MB 226.5, VW 501.01, VW 505.00, Renault RN0700 and Renault RN0710 without formal approval.

Typical figures: kinematic viscosity 13.8 mm²/s at 100 °C, viscosity index 155, pour point -36 °C, flash point above 215 °C, sulphated ash 1.3 %.

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

Application

Cars and vans with petrol and diesel engines, turbocharged or not, that have no particulate filter.

Worth knowing

Among the 77 Lubricants 10W-40 oils in the catalogue, only Motor Oil Synthetic has official MB 229.3 approval, together with API SP and ACEA A3/B4. The brand’s other passenger-car 10W-40s carry different codes: Motor Oil SL 10W-40 is API SN and ACEA A3/B3 and claims compliance with MB 229.1 without approval, Motor Oil HM is API SL and API CF, and Motor Oil Classic, with API SG and API CF, is aimed by its maker at classic cars. Approvals are uneven within the Synthetic line too: the 10W-30 has the same classes, but MB 229.3 is listed for it only as meeting the requirements.

The Volkswagen numbers go the other way. The 10W-40 data sheet puts VW 501.01 and VW 505.00 on its “Exceeds” line, next to MB 226.5, Renault RN0700 and RN0710, that is, as the oil maker’s own claims. The formal VW 502.00 and VW 505.00 approvals in the line belong to Motor Oil Synthetic 5W-40, but that is another SAE grade. For cold cranking the 10W-40 data sheet gives a CCS viscosity of 5,980 mPa·s at -25 °C; the SAE J300 limit for grade 10W at that temperature is 7,000 mPa·s.
