PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
Synplus SN/CF 5W/40 is a top-tier, full synthetic engine oil featuring low SAPS (Sulfated Ash, Phosphorous, and Sulfur) content, designed for super high performance. This advanced oil is the result of cutting-edge developments in oil formulation and additive technology, offering the highest level of 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, which can result 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/40 is expertly formulated to address these specific demands and challenges, delivering exceptional protection and performance for engines, promoting environmental compliance, and ensuring extended engine life.
SPECIFICATIONS:
Synplus SN/CF 5W/40 meets or exceeds the following demanding performance levels:
| API: ACEA: GM: | SN, SM, CF C3 DXS 2 |
| Mercedes Benz: | 229.31, 229.51, 226.5 |
| BMW Longlife: | LL-04 |
| Renault: | RN0700, RN0710 |
| Porsche: | A40 |
API SN: 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 SM 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/40 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 lubricant in vehicles with Diesel Particulate Filters (DPF) and Three Way Catalysts (TWC) in high performance car, light van diesel and gasoline engines. These oils will help prolong the life of the DPF and TWC.
Daimler Chrysler MB229.51: Synplus SN/CF 5W/40 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/40 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 lubricant recommendations.
