Description

Eni i-Sint Bio tech 0W-20 is a fully synthetic engine oil from the i-Sint line for petrol and hybrid cars. Part of its base stock consists of bio-esters derived from renewable feedstock. The oil is designed for driving with frequent stops and restarts in start-stop systems.

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

Typical figures: kinematic viscosity 7.1 mm²/s at 100 °C, viscosity index 171, pour point -42 °C, cold-cranking viscosity 4257 mPa·s at -35 °C.

Application

Petrol and hybrid cars that require a 0W-20 oil at API SN Plus or ILSAC GF-5 level.

Worth knowing

A kinematic viscosity of 7.1 mm²/s at 100 °C puts this oil near the bottom of the SAE 20 range: under the current edition of SAE J300 that grade starts at 6.9 mm²/s. For i-Sint 0W-20 from the same line the data sheet gives 8.0 mm²/s, and for i-Sint XEF 0W-20 8.3 mm²/s. It is also thinner than its neighbour when cold: at -35 °C the cold-cranking viscosity is 4257 mPa·s against 5800 mPa·s for i-Sint 0W-20, while for the 0W winter grade the standard allows up to 6200 mPa·s. Both limits, for 100 °C and for cranking, are given in the table of SAE viscosity grades.

Compared with i-Sint 0W-20, the only difference in codes is the Plus added to API SN RC; ILSAC GF-5 is common to both. The data sheet attributes the better fuel economy, compared with ordinary 0W-20 oils, to the bio-esters in the base and to special additives. Neither oil carries carmaker codes, so neither listing covers an approval named in your service book.
