Description

Eni i-Base professional 10W-40 is a multigrade engine oil from the i-Base professional line for petrol and diesel engines under heavy load. Its additives protect components against corrosion, slow the oxidation of the oil and limit the build-up of deposits.

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

Typical figures: kinematic viscosity 14 mm²/s at 100 °C, viscosity index 152, pour point -27 °C, flash point 220 °C, base number 6.2 mg KOH/g.

Application

Petrol and diesel vehicles operated in severe conditions for which a 10W-40 oil rated API SL and CF is sufficient.

Worth knowing

Eni Gas Special 10W-40, an oil for cars running on natural gas or LPG, also pairs diesel class CF with the newer petrol class API SN, and so does Eni i-Sint professional 10W-40, which adds a statement of compliance with MB 229.1, VW 501.01 and VW 505.00. Eni i-Sint 10W-40 and Eni i-Sint TD 10W-40 hold the MB 229.3 approval; both also have ACEA A3/B4, but their petrol classes differ, API SN in the first and API SH in the second, and CF appears only in i-Sint TD. The base number of these two oils is 10.8 mg KOH/g against 6.2 mg KOH/g here. AGIP Novecento Racing 10W-40 has only API SL, without diesel CF.

When the service book requires a Mercedes-Benz or Volkswagen code or an ACEA class, this oil claims no compliance with it: its data sheet is limited to API SL and CF. Which model years API now assigns SL to is covered in the article on the API SL class.
