Product Information
Full details
The Lubrex Velocity Nano GTR 0w30 is a fully synthetic, next-generation engine oil designed for modern gasoline and diesel passenger cars and light vans, particularly those within the VW Audi Group requiring low SAPS lubricants. Its key benefit is providing superior engine cleanliness, cold flow properties, and protection under severe conditions, while ensuring compatibility with emission control systems like DPF and TWC. A potential consideration is that it is specifically formulated for newer vehicles with these advanced systems.

FAQs
What does 'Low SAPS' mean?
Low SAPS stands for Low Sulfated Ash, Low Sulfur, and Low Phosphorus. This type of oil is designed to protect emission control systems like Diesel Particulate Filters (DPF) and Three-Way Catalytic Converters (TWC) from premature clogging caused by ash and other deposits.
Can I use this oil in a car not made by VW, Audi, Skoda, or Seat?
Yes, if your vehicle's owner manual specifies an engine oil that meets ACEA C3, API SN, MB 229.31/229.51, BMW LL-04, or PORSCHE C40 specifications, this oil is suitable. Always refer to your vehicle's manual for the definitive oil requirement.
Is this oil suitable for older diesel engines without a DPF?
This oil is backward compatible with older VW oil standards. However, for engines without a DPF or TWC, a different oil specification might be recommended by the manufacturer for optimal performance and economy. Always check your vehicle's manual.
How often should I change the oil?
Refer to your vehicle owner's manual for the recommended oil change interval. This typically depends on driving conditions and mileage.
What is the difference between VW 504 00 and VW 507 00?
VW 504 00 is the standard for gasoline engines, and VW 507 00 is the standard for diesel engines. This oil meets both specifications, making it suitable for many VW Group vehicles across both fuel types, particularly those requiring long-life service intervals and low SAPS.
Will using this oil help my car pass emissions tests?
Yes, by maintaining the efficiency of your vehicle's emission control systems (DPF and TWC) and contributing to efficient combustion, this oil helps your vehicle meet emissions standards.
Troubleshooting
Engine oil warning light remains on after oil change.
Ensure the engine oil level is correct and that the oil filter is properly seated. Some vehicles may require an electronic reset for the oil service indicator.
Engine noise or rough running.
Verify that the correct oil grade and specification (VW 504/507) have been used. Check for any oil leaks and ensure the oil level is adequate.
Emissions system warning light (DPF/TWC).
While this oil is designed to protect these systems, persistent warnings may indicate a separate issue with the emission control components. Consult a professional mechanic.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Compatibility: This oil is specifically recommended for gasoline and diesel passenger cars and light vans that require a low SAPS engine oil meeting ACEA C3 and specific VW 504 00 / 507 00 standards. Always consult your vehicle owner's manual to confirm the correct oil specification before use. It is backward compatible with older VW specifications for gasoline and diesel engines.
