PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
Synplus SN/CF 5W/30 represents a top-tier, full synthetic engine oil with low SAPS (Sulfated Ash, Phosphorous, and Sulfur) content, engineered for super high performance. This advanced oil harnesses the latest developments in oil formulation and additive technology to offer unparalleled engine protection.
In today’s environmentally conscious automotive market, where reducing emissions and enhancing fuel efficiency are paramount, new engine designs have emerged, necessitating higher-quality lubricants. Smaller, higher-output engines, developed to meet stringent fuel economy standards, pose specific challenges to lubricants:
• Increased Heat Output: Smaller engines generate higher temperatures, leading to accelerated oil oxidation, nitration, and deposit formation. These conditions degrade the oil and promote the formation of acidic compounds, resulting in increased viscosity.
• Increased Pressure and Speed: These engines operate at elevated pressures and speeds, making it more challenging for the oil to maintain a lubricating film that prevents metal-on-metal contact. This contact accelerates wear on components like the valve train.
• Emission Control: Many contemporary petrol engines come equipped with three-way catalytic converters designed to reduce emissions of CO, NOx, and unburned carbon. These catalytic converters consist of a reduction catalyst, which converts NOx to harmless nitrogen, and an oxidation catalyst that burns CO and hydrocarbons. However, catalytic converters are sensitive to SAPS (Sulfated Ash, Phosphorous, and Sulfur) found in engine oil detergents, antiwear additives, and base oils.
Synplus SN/CF 5W/30 is expertly designed to address these specific demands and challenges, delivering exceptional protection and performance for engines, promoting environmental compliance, and ensuring extended engine life.
Synplus SN/CF 5W/30 is designed to meet all these challenges to the lubricant systems.
SPECIFICATIONS:
Synplus SN/CF 5W/30 meets:
API: SN, SM, SL, SJ, SH, CF, CE, CD
ACEA: C3
GM: DXS 2
Mercedes Benz: 229.31, 229.51 BMW Longlife: LL-04
API SN: is a modern passenger car gasoline engine oil service category requiring improved oxidation resistance and deposit protection (which today’s smaller higher output engines demand), better wear protection for valve trains and reduced evaporative loss with less requirement for top up oil. API SN oils provide better low-temperature performance over the life of the oil, extended oil drain intervals in line with the engine manufacturers’ recommendations, and extended life for catalytic converters.
ACEA C3: Synplus SN/CF 5W/30 may also be used where oil meeting ACEA C3 is specified. ACEA C3 calls for stable stay-in-grade oils intended for use as a catalyst compatible lubricants in vehicles with Diesel Particulate Filters (DPF) and Three Way Catalysts (TWC) in high performance car and light van diesel and gasoline engines. These oils will help prolong the life of the DPF and TWC.
GM DXS 2: Synplus SN/CF 5W/30 meets the requirement of the GM DXS 2 grade which calls for excellent protection for the modern diesel vehicles with advance pollution control equipment. GM DXS 2 is implemented to limit certain chemical components to prolong catalyst life and protect the emission reduction systems.
Daimler Chrysler MB229.51: Synplus SN/CF 5W/30 can be used where MB229.51 is called for. The synthetic formulation meets the extended drain requirements of Mercedes Benz. Its lower volatility will reduce the evaporation of lighter oil fractions which would lead to oil thickening, contaminant concentration and increased oil consumption.
BMW Longlife LL-04: Synplus SN/CF 5W/30 meets the environmentally driven BMW Longlife-04 oil standard. The low-SAPS formula keeps the engine and exhaust system clean which reduces harmful emissions. Low-SAPS technology helps reduce blocking in BMW’s particulate filters. Suitable for petrol and diesel models.
ACEA A3/B4 and A3/B3: Suitable for use in vehicles manufactured prior to 2009 requiring the ACEA A3/B4 or A3/B3 performance levels.
Always consult your vehicle owner’s manual for the manufacturer‘s recommendations.
