Description

Motul POWER LCV R 5W-30 is a low-SAPS synthetic engine oil from the Power LCV line, compatible with particulate filters. It is intended for Renault and Dacia diesel engines, mainly in light commercial vehicles.

The oil is rated ACEA C4. It holds no official approvals but meets the requirements of Renault RN0720 and MB 226.51. Available in 5 litres.

It is not suitable for the Renault 2.2 dCi diesel with a particulate filter: according to Motul, that engine needs an oil to a different Renault standard.

Application

Renault and Dacia diesel engines with a particulate filter, mainly in light commercial vehicles, that need an oil to Renault RN0720 (ACEA C4).

Worth knowing

At Motul, the Renault RN0720 approval is recorded not for this oil but for SPECIFIC 0720 5W-30; here the same code is a claim of compliance. The viscosity, ACEA C4 and MB 226.51 are the same in both. The catalogue has no other Motul oils with RN0720, and oils of the other brands are collected on the Renault RN0720 page. The two cannot be compared by figures: the catalogue has no typical figures for POWER LCV R, whereas SPECIFIC 0720 has sulphated ash of 0.49 % and a base number of 6 mg KOH/g.

POWER LCV V 5W-30 from the same line matches only in SAE: it is ACEA C3 with API SP, without RN0720 and MB 226.51, and class C3 allows up to 0.8 % sulphated ash against 0.5 % in C4. The MB 226.51 number does not point to an engine of Mercedes design: this standard is built on RN0720 for Renault diesels with a filter that are fitted in Mercedes vehicles. The newer RN17 does not go where RN0720 is specified: Renault’s table extends it only to models with RN0700 and RN0710, as explained further in the article on the Renault and Dacia standards.
