FAQs

Is this oil suitable for all diesel engines?

No. This is a low SAPS oil specifically for engines requiring ACEA C1. Always check your vehicle handbook.

Can I use this in an engine that doesn't have a DPF?

It is not recommended, as you should use the oil specification recommended by the manufacturer regardless of the DPF.

How long can I leave this oil in the engine?

You should strictly follow the service intervals recommended by your vehicle manufacturer.

Is the 10L size sufficient for most cars?

Most passenger vehicles take between 4L and 7L, so 10L is usually enough for a full change plus some remainder for top-ups.

What happens if I mix this with a different type of oil?

Mixing different oil specifications can compromise the performance of the lubricant and potentially void warranties.

Troubleshooting

Oil pressure light remains illuminated after oil change

Check oil level with the dipstick and ensure the oil filter is correctly seated and tightened.

Engine feels sluggish or fuel economy decreases

Verify that the oil viscosity is correct for your climate and that you have not overfilled the oil sump.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Superior protection against long-term engine wear
  • Protects sensitive exhaust aftertreatment systems
  • Contributes to improved fuel economy
  • Fully synthetic base oil for high-temperature stability

Cons

  • Strictly limited to vehicles requiring ACEA C1 specifications
  • Not suitable for older vehicles requiring higher SAPS oils
  • Large 10L container may be excessive for smaller vehicles

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Before adding this lubricant to your engine, ensure you have drained the old oil completely and replaced the oil filter. It is essential to check your vehicle's service manual to confirm that your engine explicitly requires ACEA C1 specification oil, as using a low SAPS oil in an engine designed for a high SAPS oil can lead to premature mechanical failure.

  • Storage: Store in a cool, dry place and ensure the cap is tightly sealed after every use to prevent moisture contamination.
  • Disposal: Never pour waste oil down the drain. Take used oil to a designated hazardous waste recycling facility or a local garage.
  • Compatibility: Only use for engines specifying ACEA C1 or ST JLR.03.5005. Do not mix with non-compatible engine oils.
