Typical characteristics

Manufacturer's description

PETRONAS Syntium 7000 Hybrid 0W-20 is a fully synthetic lubricant formulated with °CoolTech+™, at the cutting edge of PETRONAS fluid technology. It effectively reduces friction between moving parts to lower heat generation, offering enhanced wear protection and optimum engine efficiency for the full drain interval, delivering optimal performance with lower fuel consumption and emissions. Constantly switching between the internal combustion engine and electrical power unit places greater stress on a hybrid car's engine, with frequent stop-start cycles increasing friction, heat, wear and the risk of engine failure — hybrid vehicles therefore need dedicated lubricants with high wear protection. PETRONAS Syntium 7000 Hybrid 0W-20 is dedicated to and suitable for petrol-electric hybrid vehicles. It is formulated to protect against low-speed pre-ignition (LSPI) in turbocharged direct-injection gasoline vehicles and meets the latest API SP specification. Benefits include ultimate heat management to protect the engine and provide optimum lubrication at extremely low temperatures, ultimate protection against bearing wear under high load, ultimate lubrication capability against premature valvetrain wear, ultimate retention of optimum lubricant viscosity with protection against timing chain elongation, ultimate resistance to engine sludge formation, and ultimate protection against LSPI events to avoid catastrophic engine failure. The oil meets the API SP and ILSAC GF-6A specifications, and carries GM Dexos1 Gen2 approval, plus FCA performance levels 955535-CR1 and FCA MS 6395. Typical physical characteristics include a density of 0.8453 g/cm³ at 15°C, a kinematic viscosity of 8.437 cSt at 100°C, a viscosity index of 175, a flash point of 224°C, a TBN of 8.0 mgKOH/g, CCS of 4501 mPa·s at -35°C and a pour point of -39°C.

Applications

• Its technology reduces friction between moving parts, lowering the heat generated and delivering enhanced wear protection and optimum engine efficiency for the full drain interval, with lower fuel consumption and emissions.
• Specifically dedicated to and suitable for petrol-electric hybrid vehicles, whose engines face greater stress from the constant switching between the combustion engine and the electric motor.
• Formulated to protect against low-speed pre-ignition (LSPI) in turbocharged direct-injection petrol engines and meets the latest API SP specification.

Performance & benefits

• Engineered with °CoolTech+™ technology to maximise the efficiency and power output of the most modern engines.
• Ultimate heat-management capability that protects the engine from damaging heat and provides optimum lubrication at extremely low temperatures.
• Maximises engine efficiency and power output while reducing fuel consumption and emissions.
• Ultimate protection against bearing wear, especially under high-load conditions that could cause power loss and engine failure, ensuring maximum performance in hybrid vehicles.
• Ultimate lubrication capability that protects against premature wear in the valvetrain, providing vital defence against engine damage that would degrade performance and increase emissions.
• Ultimate ability to retain optimum lubricant viscosity, with enhanced protection against timing-chain elongation, preventing serious engine failure.
• Ultimate 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.
• Ultimate protection against LSPI events, protecting critical engine parts and avoiding catastrophic engine failure.
