Eni i-Sint MS 5W-30

Description

Eni i-Sint MS 5W-30 is a synthetic engine oil from the i-Sint line with reduced sulphated ash, phosphorus and sulphur (Mid SAPS), intended for modern petrol and diesel cars and light vans, as well as gas-fuelled engines and hybrids. Its viscosity is shear-stable, which suits it to extended drain intervals.

The oil is rated ACEA C2 and C3 and API SN Plus, and holds official approvals MB 229.51 and MB 229.52. The maker states that it meets the requirements of MB 229.31, GM dexos2, Opel OV0401547-G30 and Opel OV0401547-D30.

Typical figures: kinematic viscosity 12.1 mm²/s at 100 °C, viscosity index 170, flash point 240 °C.

Application

Modern petrol and diesel cars and light vans that need a Mid SAPS 5W-30 oil; the maker also permits it for gas-fuelled engines and hybrids.

Worth knowing

Three i-Sint cans say 5W-30, but behind the same grade lie different code lists. MS combines ACEA classes C2 and C3 and holds the official approvals MB 229.51 and MB 229.52. The ordinary i-Sint 5W-30 has only C3 among the ACEA classes, but five approvals: BMW Longlife-04, MB 229.51, Porsche C30, VW 504.00 and VW 507.00. FE 5W-30 has only ACEA C2, API SN Plus and ILSAC GF-5 to its name, with no carmaker code at all. So among these three, MB 229.52 is approved only for MS, and VW 504.00 and VW 507.00 only for i-Sint 5W-30. The requirements of MB 229.51 and the place of the newer, slightly stricter 229.52 in this Mercedes family are summed up in the article on the MB 229.51 approval.

The codes GM dexos2, Opel OV0401547-G30 and Opel OV0401547-D30 are listed for this oil as compliance on Eni’s own word, not as approvals. In a service bulletin GM explains that only an oil carrying the brand name and the dexos mark on the front label meets the dexos requirements, so for an Opel that calls for dexos2, check the label on the can itself.
