Description

Eni i-Sint 0W-20 is a synthetic engine oil from the i-Sint line for new cars and hybrids. Its low cold viscosity makes starting easier, and the oil is designed to cope with the frequent stops and restarts of start-stop systems.

The oil is rated API SN RC and ILSAC GF-5; the maker lists no manufacturer approvals.

Typical figures: kinematic viscosity 42 mm²/s at 40 °C and 8 mm²/s at 100 °C, viscosity index 162, pour point -36 °C, cold-cranking viscosity 5800 mPa·s at -35 °C.

A 0W-20 oil belongs only in engines for which the vehicle maker specifies this viscosity grade.

Application

New cars and hybrids for which the vehicle maker specifies a 0W-20 oil at API SN or ILSAC GF-5 level.

Worth knowing

This oil lists just two classes, API SN RC and ILSAC GF-5, and no carmaker code at all, so among Eni’s 0W-20 oils it is the number in your service book that decides which can to buy. The official approvals VW 508.00 and VW 509.00 belong to i-Sint tech VK 0W-20, Volvo VCC RBS0-2AE compliance is stated for i-Sint tech VV 0W-20, and the MB 229.71 and BMW Longlife-17 FE+ approvals, together with ACEA C5 and C6, belong to i-Sint XEF 0W-20. This oil claims none of these numbers, and the same viscosity does not make up for that.

Closest in codes, i-Sint Bio tech 0W-20 differs by a single line: instead of API SN RC it has API SN Plus RC. The Plus suffix, as the Bio tech data sheet explains, requires passing a test for LSPI, that is, low-speed pre-ignition, to which modern small turbocharged direct-injection petrol engines are prone. Where the documentation requires SN Plus or a newer class, this oil does not claim compliance. The difference between an approval and a mere “meets” statement, and how to check one, is covered in the article on how to check an oil approval.
