Description

The oil is rated API SL and CF; the data sheet gives no carmaker approvals.

It resists oxidation and high temperatures, so it keeps its properties while the engine runs hot. Typical figures: 14.1 mm²/s at 100 °C, viscosity index 138, pour point -36 °C, base number 8.8 mg KOH/g. Available in 5 litre packs.
