Description

BP Visco 2000 5W-30 is an engine oil from the Visco 2000 line for petrol car engines. BP positions it for fuel economy and for reliable pumpability in freezing conditions.

It meets API SP and ILSAC GF-6 and so covers the earlier categories of both systems. The data sheet lists no ACEA classes and no official vehicle manufacturer approvals, so it does not satisfy a carmaker's requirement for a specific approval.

Typical figures from the data sheet: kinematic viscosity 10.3 mm²/s at 100 °C and 61 mm²/s at 40 °C, viscosity index 158, pour point -42 °C, flash point 200 °C, sulphated ash 0.76 %.

Application

Petrol car engines that call for API SP, ILSAC GF-6 or earlier categories, including in regions with cold winters.
