Description

AGIP Novecento 20W-50 is a multigrade engine oil from the Novecento line for the engines of classic cars from the middle of the twentieth century. Detergent-dispersant additives limit the build-up of lacquer and sludge.

The oil is rated API SM; it holds no official carmaker approvals.

Typical figures: viscosity 133 mm²/s at 40 °C and 20.2 mm²/s at 100 °C, viscosity index 150, pour point -27 °C, flash point 236 °C, density 868 kg/m³ and low-temperature viscosity 3,800 mPa·s at -15 °C.

Application

Engines of classic cars built roughly in the middle of the twentieth century.

Worth knowing

The API SM class, the only one in this oil’s specification, calls for better protection against oxidation and premature wear than SL, as well as stricter cold-weather properties; such oils may also be used where the carmaker recommends SJ or earlier classes.

Other Eni passenger-car oils share the same pairing of 20W-50 and API SM. Eni i-Sint professional 20W-50 adds API SN and diesel CF, and Eni i-Base 20W-50 adds CF and claims of compliance with MB 229.1, VW 501.01 and VW 505.00, without official approvals. This oil differs from both in viscosity index, 150 against 122 and 132, and in pour point, -27 °C against -24 °C. Eni i-Base professional L 20W-50 is limited to classes SL and CF, so on the petrol class it stands a step below SM.
