Typical characteristics

Manufacturer's description

PETRONAS Syntium 5000 AV 5W-30 SN is a fully synthetic lubricant formulated with °CoolTech™ to fight excessive engine heat, targeting the critical heat zones inside the engine to effectively absorb and transfer excess heat, defending critical components from damage and loss of performance. 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-Benz, 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 outstanding resistance to high-temperature oxidation and oil thickening, outstanding sludge prevention capability for gasoline applications, outstanding soot dispersion capability for diesel applications, exceptional protection for after-treatment exhaust systems, and superior fuel economy performance. The oil meets the API SN specification and the ACEA C3 performance level, and carries MB approval 229.51, BMW LL-04, VW 504.00/507.00 and Porsche C30 approvals, plus FCA performance level 955535-S3. Typical physical characteristics include a density of 0.851 g/cm³ at 15°C, a kinematic viscosity of 11.60 cSt at 100°C, a viscosity index of 171, a flash point of 228°C, a sulphated ash content of 0.8%, a TBN of 8.8 mgKOH/g, CCS of 5711 mPa·s at -30°C and a pour point of -45°C.

Applications

• Formulated with environmentally friendly lubricant technology, suitable for maintaining high efficiency of the exhaust-gas after-treatment systems and for fuel economy.
• Especially designed for passenger cars using direct-injection turbocharged gasoline engines and diesel engines, such as Volkswagen and Mercedes-Benz (check the owner's manual).
• Also suitable for SUVs, light vans and biofuel-running vehicles equipped with after-treatment systems (DPF, catalytic converters), fuel injectors, multi-valves or turbochargers, operating under severe conditions.

Performance & benefits

• °CoolTech™ technology targets the critical heat zones inside the engine, effectively absorbing and transferring excess heat to regulate engine temperature and defend critical components from damage and loss of performance.
• Outstanding resistance to high-temperature oxidation and oil thickening, providing an adequate oil supply to the engine and preventing breakdowns.
• Outstanding sludge-prevention capability for gasoline applications, protecting engines from seizing up.
• Outstanding soot-dispersion capability, required for diesel applications.
• Exceptional protection for exhaust after-treatment systems.
• Superior fuel-economy performance.
