Description

Motul LPG-CNG 5W-40 is a Technosynthese synthetic engine oil and the more viscous grade of the LPG-CNG gas range. It is intended for the engines of Euro 4-6 passenger cars that have been converted to gas or built to run on LPG, CNG or in bi-fuel mode.

The oil meets ACEA C3, and Motul claims API SN Plus as its performance level; no car-maker approvals are listed. Its mid-SAPS additive content makes it compatible with catalytic converters and particulate filters.

Typical figures: kinematic viscosity 14.1 mm²/s at 100 °C, viscosity index 167, HTHS 3.6 mPa·s, base number 7.6 mg KOH/g, sulphated ash 0.70 %. Available in 4 litres.

Application

Euro 4-6 passenger cars with a catalytic converter or particulate filter running on LPG, CNG or petrol and gas, where an ACEA C3 or API SN Plus oil is required.
