Description

Eni i-Sint XEF 0W-20 is a fully synthetic i-Sint oil for high-performance petrol and light diesel engines with a particulate filter. Its lower HTHS viscosity (2.6–2.9 mPa·s) saves fuel, and it guards against low-speed pre-ignition (LSPI).

It is rated API SQ RC, ACEA C5 and C6 and ILSAC GF-7A, approved to BMW Longlife-17 FE+ and MB 229.71, and claimed to meet MB 229.72, Ford WSS-M2C947-B1, Ford WSS-M2C954-A1, Ford WSS-M2C962-A1, Opel OV0401547-A20, Chrysler MS-12145, Fiat 9.55535-GSX, JLR STJLR.03.5006-16, Volvo VCC C6SP and VWC 53057.

Typical figures: kinematic viscosity 8.3 mm²/s at 100 °C, viscosity index 181, pour point -48 °C.

For four-cylinder Volvo engines it also satisfies Volvo RBS0-2AE.

Application

High-performance petrol and light diesel engines with a particulate filter that call for a 0W-20 oil to ACEA C5 or C6, API SQ or ILSAC GF-7A.

Worth knowing

The three Ford codes in this oil’s listing belong to different families. WSS-M2C947-B1 and WSS-M2C962-A1 are American 0W-20 specifications for cars sold in North America, while WSS-M2C954-A1 is European: according to oil data sheets, it was written for the newer 1.0 EcoBoost engines, whose timing belt runs in oil, and Ford later extended it to the 1.5 EcoBoost and some 2.5 hybrids. The Eni data sheet puts an approval mark only next to BMW Longlife-17 FE+ and MB 229.71, so all three Ford numbers remain the oil maker’s own claim. The European code is no substitute for the American one, so match the exact number specified for your car; how to read these numbers is explained in the article on reading Ford WSS-M2C approvals.

For the new-generation Transit Connect and Tourneo Connect, based on the Volkswagen Caddy, oil makers specify WSS-M2C956-A1. That code is not listed here; it is claimed by i-Sint tech VK 0W-20, an oil of the same viscosity grade with ACEA C5 and C6 and the official approvals VW 508.00 and VW 509.00.
