Eni i-Sint 5W-40

Description

Eni i-Sint 5W-40 is a full-ash synthetic engine oil from the i-Sint line for petrol and diesel engines in cars and light commercial vehicles. Low volatility keeps oil consumption down.

The oil is rated ACEA A3/B4 and API SN and holds the official approval MB 229.3. The maker states that it meets the requirements of MB 229.5, VW 502.00, VW 505.00, BMW Longlife-01, Porsche A40, PSA B71 2296, Renault RN0700 and Renault RN0710.

Typical figures: kinematic viscosity 87 mm²/s at 40 °C and 14.2 mm²/s at 100 °C, viscosity index 175, pour point -42 °C, base number 10.8 mg KOH/g.

Application

Petrol and diesel engines in cars and light commercial vehicles that call for a full-ash 5W-40 oil to ACEA A3/B4.

Worth knowing

Of the nine manufacturer codes in this oil’s list, only MB 229.3 is an official approval: the Eni data sheet marks it “MB-Approval”. MB 229.5, VW 502.00, VW 505.00, Porsche A40, BMW Longlife-01, PSA B71 2296, Renault RN0700 and Renault RN0710 are given as specifications without such a mark. Within the line, formal approvals to MB 229.5, Porsche A40, VW 502.00 and VW 505.00 belong to i-Sint 0W-40, but that is a different viscosity grade.

The neighbouring i-Sint MS 5W-40 shares only the viscosity with this oil: it is a Mid SAPS oil of ACEA class C3 with MB 229.51, MB 229.52 and BMW Longlife-04 approvals, and the two oils have no manufacturer codes in common. The base number here is 10.8 mg KOH/g against 7 in the MS. What MB 229.5 requires and which newer Mercedes sheets appeared after it is covered in our MB 229.5 note.
