Carlube Triple R 5W-40 Fully Synthetic Low Ash Oil - 1L

Low Ash oil, like this Carlube Triple R, has reduced levels of sulfur, phosphorus, and sulfated ash. This helps to protect the sensitive components in modern exhaust after-treatment systems, such as Diesel Particulate Filters (DPFs) and Three Way Catalysts (TWCs), preventing premature clogging and extending their lifespan.

Yes, this oil meets the API SP specification, which is suitable for modern gasoline engines. Its low ash content also benefits gasoline catalytic converters (TWC's).

Yes, while specifically designed to protect these systems, the superior lubrication and protection properties of this fully synthetic oil are beneficial for any engine that specifies a 5W-40 viscosity and meets the ACEA C3 or API SP standards.

The oil change interval depends on your vehicle manufacturer's recommendations, typically found in your owner's manual. Fully synthetic oils often allow for extended drain intervals compared to conventional oils.

The '5W' indicates the oil's viscosity (flow ability) at cold temperatures (W for Winter). A lower number means it flows better when cold, reducing wear on startup. The '40' indicates viscosity at operating temperature. 5W-40 generally offers better cold start protection than 10W-40.

Carlube is the largest independent oil manufacturer in the UK, with all production taking place at their state-of-the-art manufacturing facility in the Northwest of England.

This oil has lower evaporation rates, but if consumption is high, check for leaks or ensure the correct viscosity oil was used initially. Consult your vehicle manual.

Ensure the correct low ash oil (ACEA C3) is being used. If issues persist, there may be a problem with the DPF or TWC itself, requiring professional diagnosis.

While 5W-40 provides good cold start performance, persistent issues may indicate a battery or starter problem, or that a different viscosity grade is required for extreme cold climates.
