Typical characteristics

Manufacturer's description

PETRONAS Syntium 3000 AV 5W-40 is a fully synthetic lubricant formulated with °CoolTech™ technology that effectively controls damaging heat, resists oxidation and prevents oil degradation and deposit build-up, protecting engine parts and maintaining efficiency for the full drain interval. It is especially designed for passenger cars, SUVs and vans using direct-injection turbocharged gasoline and diesel engines such as Volkswagen and Mercedes-Benz, and is also suitable for vehicles running on biofuels or fitted with after-treatment exhaust systems, catalytic converters, fuel injectors, multi-valves or turbochargers operating under severe conditions. Benefits include exceptional resistance to oxidation and oil degradation that effectively controls sludge for maximum engine efficiency and lower emissions, superior lubrication capability that reduces wear in the valvetrain and cylinder wall, and superior piston cleanliness by controlling combustion-driven piston temperature rise for a longer engine life and maximized power output and fuel efficiency. The oil meets the API SP specification and the ACEA C3 performance level, and carries approvals VW 505.00/505.01, MB 229.51, Porsche A40, Renault RN0700/RN0710, FCA 955535-S2 and Ford WSS-M2C917-A. Typical physical characteristics include a density of 0.8551 g/cm³ at 15°C, a kinematic viscosity of 14 cSt at 100°C, a viscosity index of 171, a flash point of 230°C, a TBN of 7.46 mgKOH/g, CCS of 6003 mPa·s at -30°C and a pour point of -42°C.

Applications

• Especially designed for passenger cars, SUVs and vans with direct-injection turbocharged petrol and diesel engines, such as Volkswagen and Mercedes-Benz (check the owner's manual).
• Also suitable for vehicles running on biofuels and for vehicles fitted with exhaust after-treatment and emission-control devices such as catalytic converters, fuel injectors, multi-valve systems or turbochargers operating under severe conditions.

Performance & benefits

• Engineered with CoolTech™ technology to control damaging heat, delivering enhanced performance and protection.
• Exceptional resistance to oxidation and oil degradation, effectively controlling sludge throughout the engine, reducing wear and keeping every part performing at maximum efficiency for higher power conversion and lower emissions.
• Superior lubrication that reduces wear in the valvetrain and cylinder wall, providing vital defence against engine damage that would otherwise degrade performance and increase emissions.
• Superior piston cleanliness by effectively controlling the rise in piston temperature caused by combustion, extending engine life and maximising power output and fuel efficiency.
