Typical characteristics

Manufacturer's description

PETRONAS Syntium 3000 E 5W-40 is a fully synthetic lubricant developed 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 is especially designed for passenger cars, SUVs and vans using direct-injection turbocharged gasoline and diesel engines such as Mercedes-Benz, Volkswagen and Renault, 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. It is formulated to provide protection against low-speed pre-ignition (LSPI) for turbocharged direct-injection gasoline vehicles and meets the latest API SP specification. Benefits include exceptional resistance to engine sludge formation caused by oil degradation, ensuring every engine part performs at maximum efficiency and lowering emissions, exceptional lubrication capability that protects against abnormal wear in the valvetrain and cylinder wall, and exceptional control of damaging heat to prevent turbocharger and piston deposits, extending engine part life and delivering maximum performance for longer. The oil meets the API SP specification and the ACEA A3/B4 performance level, and carries approvals MB 229.5, VW 502.00/505.00, Renault RN0700/RN0710 and BMW Longlife-01, plus FCA performance levels 955535-H2 and 955535-M2. Typical physical characteristics include a density of 0.8552 g/cm³ at 15°C, a kinematic viscosity of 13.81 cSt at 100°C, a viscosity index of 172, a flash point of 223°C, a sulphated ash content of 1.01%, a TBN of 12.28 mgKOH/g, CCS of 5668 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 gasoline engines and diesel engines, such as those from Mercedes-Benz, Volkswagen and Renault (check the owner's manual).
• Also suitable for vehicles running on biofuels and those equipped with an exhaust after-treatment system and emission control devices such as catalytic converters, fuel injectors, multi-valves or turbochargers, operating under severe conditions.
• Formulated to protect against low-speed pre-ignition (LSPI) in turbocharged direct-injection gasoline vehicles, and meets the latest API SP specification.

Performance & benefits

• Engineered with °CoolTech™ technology to control heat, providing enhanced performance and protection.
• Exceptional resistance to engine sludge formation caused by oil degradation, effectively controlling sludge build-up throughout the engine so every part performs at maximum efficiency, maximizing power conversion and lowering emissions.
• Exceptional lubrication capability, protecting against abnormal wear in the valvetrain and cylinder wall and defending against engine damage that would otherwise reduce performance and increase emissions.
• Exceptional control of damaging heat, preventing turbocharger and piston deposits, extending the life of engine parts and delivering maximum performance for longer.
