Typical characteristics

Manufacturer's description

PETRONAS Syntium 5000 AV 5W-30 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 parts and maintaining engine efficiency for the full drain interval. It uses environmentally friendly lubricant technology suited to maintaining the high efficiency of exhaust gas after-treatment systems and fuel economy, and is especially designed for passenger cars using direct-injection turbocharged gasoline and diesel engines such as Volkswagen and Mercedes, also suitable for SUVs, light vans and biofuel-running vehicles fitted with diesel particulate filters, catalytic converters, fuel injectors, multi-valves or turbochargers operating under severe conditions. Benefits include exceptional protection against oil thickening from biodiesel-accelerated oxidation, outstanding resistance to sludge formation, outstanding lubrication capability against abnormal wear in the valvetrain and cylinder wall, outstanding control of damaging heat to prevent turbocharger and piston deposits, and outstanding piston cleanliness that extends engine life and maximizes power output and fuel efficiency. The oil meets the API SP specification and the ACEA C3 performance level, and carries approvals VW 504.00/507.00, MB 229.51 and 229.52, Porsche C30 and BMW LL-04, plus FCA performance level 955535-S3. Typical physical characteristics include a density of 0.849 g/cm³ at 15°C, a kinematic viscosity of 12.03 cSt at 100°C, a viscosity index of 173, a flash point of 220°C, a sulphated ash content of 0.72%, a TBN of 8.9 mgKOH/g, CCS of 5283 mPa·s at -30°C and a pour point of -42°C.

Applications

• Formulated with environmentally friendly lubricant technology that maintains high efficiency of exhaust after-treatment systems while supporting fuel economy.
• Especially designed for passenger cars with direct-injection turbocharged petrol and diesel engines, such as Volkswagen and Mercedes (check the owner's manual).
• Also suitable for SUVs, light vans and vehicles running on biofuels, fitted with exhaust after-treatment and emission-control devices such as diesel particulate filters and catalytic converters.
• Also suitable for vehicles fitted with 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 protection against oil thickening caused by oxidation accelerated by biodiesel use, thanks to strong oil chains that keep performance stable and maximise engine efficiency for the entire drain interval.
• Outstanding resistance to engine sludge formation caused by oil degradation, effectively controlling sludge throughout the engine and keeping every part performing at maximum efficiency.
• Maximises power conversion and lowers emissions.
• Outstanding lubrication capability that protects against abnormal wear in the valvetrain and cylinder wall, providing vital defence against engine damage that leads to deteriorating performance and higher emissions.
• Outstanding control of damaging heat that prevents turbocharger and piston deposits, extending the life of engine parts, maximising engine efficiency and delivering maximum performance for longer.
• Outstanding piston-cleanliness performance by effectively controlling the rise in piston temperature caused by combustion, extending engine life and maximising power output and fuel efficiency.
