Description

Fuchs TITAN SYN SN 0W-20 is a low-viscosity engine oil from the TITAN SYN line, formulated with fuel economy in mind. It is intended for passenger car petrol engines whose manufacturer specifies a 0W-20 grade.

The oil meets API SN and ILSAC GF-5. It holds no official vehicle manufacturer approvals.

It should only be used in engines for which the car maker permits a 0W-20 viscosity grade.

Application

Car petrol engines for which the manufacturer specifies API SN or ILSAC GF-5.

Worth knowing

Of the Fuchs 0W-20 oils in this catalogue, this is the only one with no carmaker code at all, just API SN and ILSAC GF-5. If a 0W-20 also needs a GM dexos1 Gen 3 licence, ILSAC GF-6A, or the Ford WSS-M2C947-B1 or Chrysler MS-6395 codes, TITAN SUPERSYN D1 0W-20 declares them, and ILSAC GF-5 is on its list too. TITAN GT1 FLEX 5 0W-20 also has GF-5, GF-6A and Ford WSS-M2C947-B1, plus MB, BMW, JLR and Opel approvals, but neither dexos1 Gen 3 nor Chrysler MS-6395. The brand’s other 0W-20 oils, GT1 EVO, PRO V and LONGLIFE IV, list no ILSAC class: they carry ACEA classes and BMW, JLR, Volvo, VW or Porsche standards, so going by Fuchs’s own lists they do not cover a GF-5 requirement.

As the article on API SQ and ILSAC GF-7 explains, API now recognises SN only for engines of model year 2020 and older, and for cars specified for GF-5 it recommends a GF-7A oil of the same viscosity. The article also shows how to tell GF-6A from GF-7A by the API “donut” on the can.
