Description

Aral SuperTronic LL IV FE 0W-20 is a semi-synthetic, low-viscosity engine oil for petrol, diesel and hybrid passenger cars. It is designed for flexible extended drain intervals, above all in VW Group vehicles.

It is classified API SQ, ACEA C5 and C6 and ILSAC GF-7, and holds official VW 508.00, VW 509.00, Porsche C20, MB 229.71, MB 229.72 and BMW Longlife-17 FE+ approvals. It meets the requirements of BMW Longlife-14 FE+ without formal approval.

Typical figures from the data sheet: kinematic viscosity 7.97 mm²/s at 100 °C, viscosity index 166, pour point -45 °C, sulphated ash 0.74 %. Pack sizes from 1 to 208 litres.

Application

Petrol, diesel and hybrid passenger cars that call for ACEA C5 or C6 or one of the listed 0W-20 approvals, above all VW Group cars requiring VW 508.00 or VW 509.00.

Worth knowing

Under the name SuperTronic LL IV FE 0W-20, the passenger-car oil section of Aral’s German website has two entries with different article numbers. The first lists ACEA C5 and C6, VW 508.00 and VW 509.00, Porsche C20, MB 229.71, MB 229.72 and BMW Longlife-17 FE+; the second is limited to the pair VW 508.00 and VW 509.00, and it is there that the website description calls the oil semi-synthetic, as does Aral’s 2024 catalogue under the first entry’s article numbers. The Aral data sheets match the first entry. As the article on choosing oil for VW Group cars stresses, if an approval is not on the label, the oil does not have it, so for a Mercedes, BMW or Porsche the codes printed on the can decide, not the name.

In the SuperTronic range, VW 504.00 and VW 507.00 are held by LongLife III 0W-30 and K 5W-30, and the two pairs must not be confused: according to the same article, 0W-20 oils to 508.00 and 509.00 appeared for the EA211 evo and EA288 evo engines, and they must not be used in engines designed for 504.00/507.00. The VW 508.00 page lists oils from other brands with this approval.
