FAQs

What is 'Mid-SAPS' and why is it important?

Mid-SAPS stands for 'Mid-Sulphated Ash, Phosphorus, and Sulphur'. This designation means the oil has a reduced content of these elements, which is crucial for protecting modern emission control systems like Diesel Particulate Filters (DPF) and Gasoline Particulate Filters (GPF) from clogging and premature failure.

Can I use Syntol Hyper Syn P3 5W-30 in my older diesel car without a DPF?

While the oil is compatible with diesel fuel, its Mid-SAPS formulation is specifically designed for modern engines with emission control systems. For older diesel engines without DPFs, a different oil formulation (e.g., a high-SAPS oil) might be more appropriate. Always check your vehicle owner's manual for the correct specification.

How often should I change the oil with Syntol Hyper Syn P3?

The oil change interval depends on your vehicle manufacturer's recommendations, driving conditions, and the specific service schedule outlined in your owner's manual. The advanced synthetic formulation allows for extended drain intervals compared to conventional oils.

Is this oil suitable for extreme temperatures?

Yes, the 100% synthetic base ensures excellent viscosity stability across a wide temperature range, providing reliable lubrication and protection in both very cold starts and high operating temperatures.

Can I mix Syntol Hyper Syn P3 with other brands or types of oil?

Yes, Syntol Hyper Syn P3 5W-30 is fully miscible with mineral and other synthetic oils. However, for optimal performance and to maintain its specific properties, it is recommended to use it without mixing where possible, or to use a compatible oil if topping up is necessary.

What does BMW Longlife-04 (LL-04) mean?

BMW Longlife-04 is a specific performance standard set by BMW for engine oils, particularly for their diesel engines with DPFs and petrol engines. Oils meeting this specification are designed to provide extended drain intervals and robust protection for BMW vehicles.

Does this oil meet the requirements for my VW, Audi, or Skoda vehicle?

Yes, this oil meets the VW 502.00 / 505.01 specifications, which are common requirements for many Volkswagen Group vehicles, including VW, Audi, Seat, and Skoda models, particularly those with direct injection diesel engines (TDI) and some petrol engines.

Troubleshooting

Oil level appears low shortly after an oil change.

Allow the engine to sit for at least 15 minutes after running to let the oil settle. Re-check the dipstick and top up if necessary. Small initial drops may occur as the oil circulates through new components.

Engine oil warning light remains on after starting.

Immediately turn off the engine and re-check the oil level. If the level is correct, there may be an issue with the oil pressure sensor or the oil circulation system. Consult a qualified mechanic.

Excessive smoke from the exhaust.

While this oil is designed to reduce emissions, persistent smoke could indicate other engine problems such as worn piston rings or valve seals, or issues with the fuel injection system. Check your vehicle's manual for specific causes related to your engine type.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Setup: Ensure your vehicle’s engine is completely cool before draining the old oil. Remove the oil drain plug and allow the old oil to drain completely. Replace the drain plug with a new washer if recommended by your vehicle manufacturer. Remove the old oil filter and install a new one, pre-filling it slightly with new oil if possible. Fill the engine with the recommended quantity of Syntol Hyper Syn P3 5W-30, referring to your vehicle owner's manual for the exact capacity. Start the engine and let it run for a few minutes, checking for leaks around the drain plug and oil filter. Turn off the engine, wait a few minutes, and check the oil level on the dipstick, topping up if necessary.

Compatibility: Always consult your vehicle's owner's manual to confirm that the 5W-30 viscosity grade and the specifications met by this oil (API SN, ACEA C2/C3, BMW LL-04, GM dexos2, MB 229.31/229.51/229.52, PSA B71 2290, VW 502.00/505.01) are recommended or required for your specific engine. This oil is suitable for use with common fuels including petrol, ethanol, LPG, bio-diesel, and diesel.

Care: Store the oil container in a clean, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Keep the container tightly sealed when not in use. Dispose of used engine oil responsibly according to local regulations; never pour it down drains or into the environment. Regular oil and filter changes, according to your vehicle manufacturer's schedule, are essential for maintaining engine health and maximizing the benefits of this high-performance oil.
