Aral SuperTronic 0W-40

Description

Aral SuperTronic 0W-40 is a fully synthetic engine oil for petrol and diesel engines in passenger cars. According to the manufacturer, it has a reduced ash content, is compatible with particulate filters and is suitable for LPG and CNG engines where the carmaker permits.

It is classified API SN and CF and meets the requirements of Fiat 9.55535-S2 without formal approval. The description on the Aral website also names MB 229.31 and MB 229.51 approvals, but the oil does not appear in Mercedes-Benz’s official lists.

Typical figures from the data sheet: kinematic viscosity 12.8 mm²/s at 100 °C, viscosity index 171, pour point -60 °C or lower, flash point 244 °C. Pack sizes from 1 to 208 litres.

Application

Petrol and diesel engines in passenger cars with conventional extended drain intervals, including LPG and CNG engines where the carmaker permits it.

Worth knowing

The MB 229.31 and MB 229.51 approvals are named only in the description on the Aral website, and the same description presents the oil as low-ash. The English-language data sheet lists only API SN/CF and compliance with Fiat 9.55535-S2, and gives no sulphated ash figure. Mercedes-Benz’s official lists carry other Aral oils under 229.31 and 229.51, but not this one. If your service book calls for MB 229.31 or MB 229.51, the proof is the Mercedes list itself; the article on MB 229.51 explains where to find that list and how 229.51 differs from 229.31.

The other oil in the line with the same SAE grade, SuperTronic G 0W-40, sits on the other side of the ash divide: ACEA A3/B4, sulphated ash 1.2 %, and of the Mercedes codes only MB 229.5, plus compliance with MB 229.3. It does, however, have VW 502.00, VW 505.00, BMW Longlife-01, Porsche A40, Renault RN0700 and RN0710, which this oil lacks.
