Description
Fuchs TITAN SUPERSYN 5W-50 is a synthetic engine oil from the TITAN SUPERSYN line with a higher viscosity at operating temperature. It is intended for petrol and diesel engines in passenger cars where the vehicle manufacturer permits a 5W-50 grade.
The oil holds no official vehicle manufacturer approvals. FUCHS gives ACEA A3/B4, API SL and API CF as its own recommendations rather than certified ratings.
Typical data-sheet figures: 18.1 mm²/s at 100 °C and 111.5 mm²/s at 40 °C, viscosity index 179, HTHS viscosity at least 3.5 mPa·s, sulphated ash 1.0-1.6 %, pour point -42 °C.
Application
Car petrol and diesel engines whose manufacturer allows an ACEA A3/B4-level oil in the thicker 5W-50 grade.
Worth knowing
The Fuchs data sheet gives this oil an HTHS of 3.5 mPa·s. The SAE J300 standard requires at least 3.7 mPa·s for grades with 50 as the second number, and 3.5 mPa·s is the lower limit of ACEA A3/B4, a class that Fuchs lists only among its own recommendations. The kinematic viscosity of 18.1 mm²/s at 100 °C does lie within the range for grade 50 (from 16.3 to less than 21.9 mm²/s), and the data sheet offers no explanation of the HTHS figure.
There are no other 5W-50 oils in the TITAN SUPERSYN line. Carmaker approvals in this line belong only to oils of other SAE grades, among them TITAN SUPERSYN 5W-40 and TITAN SUPERSYN 5W-30, which share the same ACEA A3/B4 class but have a different viscosity. What happens to an engine when the oil is thicker than its designer intended is covered in the article “5W-50 or 0W-30?”.
