Description

Eni i-Sint tech R 5W-30 is a synthetic engine oil for modern petrol and diesel engines in cars and vans, Renault models in particular.

The oil holds official Renault RN0720 approval and is rated ACEA C4 and C3, placing it among mid-SAPS oils. According to its maker, it meets the requirements of MB 229.51 and MB 226.51, without formal Mercedes-Benz approval. It keeps piston deposits in check.

Typical figures: kinematic viscosity 12 mm²/s at 100 °C, viscosity index 163, pour point -36 °C, flash point 224 °C, base number 6.3 mg KOH/g, density 850 kg/m³ and cold-cranking viscosity 5,800 mPa·s at -30 °C.

Application

Modern petrol and diesel cars and vans that need an ACEA C4 oil or one approved to Renault RN0720.

Worth knowing

Only the “17” separates the names of two 5W-30 oils in the i-Sint tech line, and behind it stand different Renault standards. This oil holds official RN0720 approval, a standard Renault wrote for dCi diesels with a particulate filter; the exception is the 2.2 dCi, which needs RN0710 even with a filter. The neighbouring i-Sint tech R17 5W-30 is approved to RN17, and oil makers warn outright that RN17 does not go where RN0720 is specified. The shared 5W-30 and ACEA C3 settle nothing here: the choice between the cans is decided by the Renault number in the service book.

MB 226.51 in the specification list does not make this an oil for engines designed by Mercedes-Benz: that number is built on RN0720 and meant for Renault diesels with a filter in Mercedes cars. For cars that need MB 229.51 approval itself, the Eni oils with the same 5W-30 and ACEA C3 that hold official approval to that sheet include i-Sint 5W-30 and i-Sint MS 5W-30; for i-Sint tech R the number is only claimed. Which engines each standard covers is set out in our guide to the Renault RN0700, RN0710, RN0720 and RN17 approvals.
