Description

Eni Gas Special 10W-40 is a multigrade engine oil developed for car engines that run on gaseous fuel: compressed natural gas (CNG) or liquefied petroleum gas (LPG). Low volatility keeps oil consumption down.

The oil is rated API SN and API CF; the maker quotes neither manufacturer approvals nor claims to meet manufacturer requirements.

Typical figures: kinematic viscosity 92 mm²/s at 40 °C and 14.1 mm²/s at 100 °C, viscosity index 158, pour point -27 °C, flash point 224 °C.

Application

Cars running on compressed natural gas (CNG) or liquefied petroleum gas (LPG).

Worth knowing

The Eni data sheets give this oil and Eni i-Sint professional 10W-40 identical typical figures down to the last digit: density 868 kg/m³, 92 and 14.1 mm²/s at 40 and 100 °C, viscosity index 158, 6800 mPa·s at -25 °C, flash point 224 °C and pour point -27 °C. They also share API SN and CF. The lists of carmaker requirements differ: i-Sint professional 10W-40 claims compliance with MB 229.1, VW 501.01 and VW 505.00, whereas the specifications section for Gas Special 10W-40 lists only the two API classes. i-Sint 10W-40 and i-Sint TD 10W-40 are both approved to MB 229.3, but only the former has the petrol SN and only the latter the diesel CF.

The second half of the SN/CF designation belongs to the diesel branch: CF describes oils for indirect-injection engines, and API now lists this class as obsolete. What it required and what replaces it is set out in our note on API CF.
