Description

Fuchs TITAN SUPERSYN LONGLIFE 5W-40 is a synthetic full-SAPS TITAN SUPERSYN engine oil for a wide range of European petrol and diesel cars.

It is rated ACEA A3/B4 and API SP and holds official BMW Longlife-01, MB 229.5, VW 502.00, VW 505.00, PSA B71 2296, Renault RN0700 and Renault RN0710 approvals. It meets the requirements of MB 226.5, Porsche A40, Chrysler MS-12991 and Fiat 9.55535-H2/M2/N2/Z2 without formal approval.

Typical data-sheet figures: 14.4 mm²/s at 100 °C, viscosity index 172, HTHS viscosity at least 3.5 mPa·s, pour point -42 °C. Pack sizes range from 1 to 1000 litres.

Extended drain intervals apply only where the vehicle manufacturer provides for them.

Application

European cars with petrol and diesel engines that need an oil approved to BMW Longlife-01, MB 229.5, VW 502.00/505.00, PSA B71 2296 or Renault RN0700/RN0710.

Worth knowing

Sharing the word LONGLIFE in the name does not give the same numbers the same status. TITAN SUPERSYN LONGLIFE 0W-30 merely meets the requirements of MB 229.5, VW 502.00 and VW 505.00; in TITAN SUPERSYN LONGLIFE 0W-40 those three numbers are official approvals, while BMW Longlife-01, Renault RN0700 and Renault RN0710 are listed only as compliance. This 5W-40 holds all six as official approvals, and adds PSA B71 2296.

Fuchs’s own documents differ in the details. The oil’s data sheet gives API SN, places MB 226.5 among the approvals and Porsche A40 among the manufacturer’s recommendations; the German product page gives API SP and swaps the two numbers around: Porsche A40 in the approvals, MB 226.5 in the recommendations. So for an engine that specifically needs a Porsche A40 or MB 226.5 approval, the Fuchs documents give no clear answer; the carmaker’s list of approved oils does. Where to find such lists is explained in the article on checking an oil approval.
