Description

77 Lubricants Motor Oil VLV 0W-30 is a fully synthetic engine oil for cars, aimed above all at Volvo five- and six-cylinder petrol engines that call for an oil to the Volvo VCC 95200377 standard.

It is rated API SQ and ACEA A5/B5. It holds no official manufacturer approvals, but meets the requirements of Volvo VCC 95200377, MB 229.6, BMW Longlife-01 FE and Renault RN0700.

Typical figures: kinematic viscosity 10 mm²/s at 100 °C, viscosity index 180, pour point -42 °C, flash point 230 °C, sulphated ash 1.00 %, base number 10.1 mg KOH/g.

Application

Volvo five- and six-cylinder petrol engines that need an oil to the Volvo VCC 95200377 standard, and engines for which ACEA A5/B5 is recommended.

Worth knowing

The Volvo VCC 95200377 page lists eight oils: seven hold the official approval, and this one carries the code only as a claim. The data sheet says it was developed for Volvo’s five- and six-cylinder petrol engines, but it lacks the “Approved” row found in the Motor Oil VLV 0W-20 document, and all codes from API SQ to Volvo VCC 95200377 sit under “Exceeds”. These two VLV oils share no codes: the 0W-20 has Volvo VCC RBS0-2AE, ACEA C5 and API SP.

The number in Motor Oil Synthetic 0W-30 looks similar but is different: Volvo VCC 95200356. That oil is ACEA A3/B4, with sulphated ash of 1.51 % against 1.00 % here and 12.1 mm²/s at 100 °C against 10 mm²/s, and it shares only one code with the VLV, Renault RN0700. Among the brand’s 0W-30 oils in the catalogue, A5/B5 is also found in Motor Oil CP 0W-30, but its entry has no Volvo, MB or BMW codes. The BMW Longlife-01 FE code is not universal either: according to the list of BMW specifications, such oils are permitted only for certain petrol engines where the maker expressly provided for them.
