Description

Eni i-Sigma ECO PLUS 5W-20 is a synthetic engine oil from the i-Sigma top MS line for the latest generation of heavy-duty diesels with exhaust after-treatment. It is low in sulphated ash, phosphorus and sulphur (low-SAPS), and its low 5W-20 viscosity is aimed at saving fuel and cutting CO2 emissions.

The list gives no API or ACEA classes and no official approvals: the maker states that the oil meets the requirements of MAN M 3977 and Scania LDF-5.

Typical figures: kinematic viscosity 8 mm²/s at 100 °C, viscosity index 147, base number 10.2 mg KOH/g, pour point -48 °C.

It is used only where the engine maker specifies a 5W-20 oil.

Application

Latest-generation heavy-duty diesel engines with exhaust after-treatment where the maker specifies a low-viscosity 5W-20 fuel-saving oil.

Worth knowing

The data sheet for this oil names no API or ACEA class; it has only two truck-maker codes, neither with the “Approved” mark: MAN M 3977 has no status at all, and Scania LDF-5 is followed by “(Feedback)”. Eni does not explain what that mark means, so the catalogue presents both codes as a statement of compliance. The MAN M 3977 page shows which oils have this code marked as an actual approval.

Among Eni oils in the catalogue, only this one has both codes, while the rest of the line, ECO PLUS 5W-30 with Volvo VDS-5 included, is built on other requirements. This matters for the choice, because M 3977 and LDF-5 are not backward compatible: according to the article on MAN and Scania codes for truck oil, an M 3977 oil must not go into an engine where MAN requires M 3677.
