Description

Liqui Moly Special Tec V 0W-30 is a fully synthetic engine oil designed primarily for Volvo cars. According to the data sheet, it is suitable for cars with a particulate filter.

It holds the official Volvo VCC 95200377 approval and carries ACEA A7 and B7 and API SL.

Typical data-sheet figures: viscosity 9.7 mm²/s at 100 °C, viscosity index 180, HTHS between 2.9 and 3.5 mPa·s, which places it in the fuel-economy class, sulphated ash 1.2 %, pour point -45 °C. Pack sizes from 1 to 205 litres.

Application

Mainly Volvo cars that specify Volvo VCC 95200377; according to the manufacturer, some Mitsubishi, Renault, Jaguar and Honda models require it too.

Worth knowing

The official Volvo VCC 95200377 approval is held by two oils in this brand’s catalogue, both 0W-30: this one and Special Tec B FE 0W-30. They differ in the rest of the list. This oil has ACEA A7/B7 and API SL, while the other has ACEA A5/B5, API SP, BMW Longlife-01 FE, MB 229.6 and a Renault RN0700 recommendation; the data sheet of this oil names Renault, Mitsubishi, Jaguar and Honda only as makes, with no specification numbers. Sulphated ash is 1.2 % against 1 %, and NOACK 12.0 % against 10.0 %. Class A7/B7 means the A5/B5 requirements with extra protection for turbocharged petrol engines against pre-ignition at low revs and for diesels against deposits in the turbocharger compressor.

The data sheet permits use with a particulate filter, but A7/B7 belongs to the full-SAPS classes and there is no class C here: if the engine documentation requires a class C oil, this oil does not meet that requirement. A different code, Volvo VCC RBS0-2AE, appears in Special Tec V 0W-20, along with ACEA C5, ash of up to 0.8 % and 8.8 mm²/s at 100 °C.
