Description

Mobil Super 3000 Formula RN 5W-30 is a synthetic engine oil for most Renault petrol and diesel cars and light commercial vehicles with exhaust after-treatment that require the Renault RN17 specification.

It holds official Renault RN17 and MB 226.52 approvals and meets ACEA C3.

Typical figures: viscosity 12.3 mm²/s at 100 °C, pour point -42 °C, sulphated ash 0.8 %, phosphorus 0.08 %. The data sheet gives a flash point of 212 °C, measured by the closed-cup method.

Application

Most Renault petrol and diesel cars and light commercial vehicles with exhaust after-treatment for which the manufacturer requires Renault RN17.

Worth knowing

Renault states outright that RN17 suits all models for which RN0700 or RN0710 was previously specified, whatever viscosity was given at the time, though makers of RN17 oils exclude Renault Sport and Alpine engines from that group. This coverage does not extend to RN0720, and oil makers warn that an RN17 oil must not go into a dCi diesel where RN0720 is specified. The guide to the Renault and Dacia approvals also exposes a naming trap: the same “1.5 dCi DPF” appears in Renault’s table for Dacia sometimes with RN0720 and sometimes with RN17, depending on model and year, so take the specification from the service book or get it from a dealer by VIN.

For an engine with RN0720, the Mobil Super 3000 range has Formula R 5W-30, an ACEA C4 oil with 0.5 % ash, against 0.8 % in Formula RN. Formula RN’s own data sheet links it to the particulate filters and catalytic converters of petrol and diesel cars that entered service from mid-2018 onwards, and among the chemical figures it gives sulphur, 0.2 %, as well as ash and phosphorus.
