Typical characteristics

Manufacturer's description

PETRONAS Syntium 5000 XS 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 Mercedes-Benz and GM, 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 SN specification and the ACEA C2 and C3 performance levels, and carries GM Dexos 2, MB approval 229.51 and OV 040 1547-D30 approvals, plus VW 505.00/505.01, BMW Longlife-04 and FCA 955535-S3 performance levels. Typical physical characteristics include a density of 0.855 g/cm³ at 15°C, a kinematic viscosity of 11.12 cSt at 100°C, a viscosity index of 167, a flash point of 234°C, a sulphated ash content of 0.8%, a TBN of 7.8 mgKOH/g, CCS of 5493 mPa·s at -30°C and a pour point of -45°C.

Applications

• Especially designed for passenger cars using direct-injection turbocharged gasoline engines and diesel engines, such as Mercedes-Benz and General Motors (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

• Engineered with °CoolTech™ technology to control heat, providing enhanced performance and protection.
• Exceptional protection against oil thickening from biodiesel-accelerated oxidation, thanks to strong oil chains that maintain stable performance for the entire drain interval.
• Outstanding 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.
• Outstanding 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.
• Outstanding control of damaging heat, preventing turbocharger and piston deposits, extending the life of engine parts and delivering maximum performance for longer.
• Outstanding piston-cleanliness performance, effectively controlling the rise in piston temperature caused by combustion, for a longer engine life and maximum power output and fuel efficiency.
