Product Information

Full details

Carlube Triple R 5W-40 is a high-specification fully synthetic lubricant engineered for owners of modern petrol and diesel engines seeking enhanced protection and longevity. Its key benefit lies in its low ash, sulphur, and phosphorus formula, which protects sensitive emissions systems like Diesel Particulate Filters (DPF) and Three Way Catalysts (TWC) from premature clogging. While this oil offers excellent thermal stability, users must verify that their vehicle manufacturer requires the specific ACEA C3 and API SP certifications before use to ensure full compatibility.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Is this oil compatible with my DPF?

Yes, this oil is a low-ash, low-sulphur formula specifically designed for vehicles equipped with Diesel Particulate Filters (DPF).

Can I use this in an older car without a DPF?

While it can be used, you should ensure the viscosity and performance ratings match your engine manufacturer's requirements, as some older engines require different chemical additives.

How often should I change this oil?

Always follow the service interval recommendations provided in your vehicle owner's manual.

Does this pack include 8 liters of oil?

Yes, the product includes two 4L bottles, providing a total of 8 liters.

What is the primary difference between this and standard 5W-40?

The primary difference is the 'Low Ash' formulation, which is essential for protecting modern exhaust emissions hardware.

Can this be mixed with other oils?

While it is generally safe to top up with a similar grade oil in an emergency, it is highly recommended to use the same oil brand and specification throughout the entire oil change.

Troubleshooting

Double-check that the oil level is between the minimum and maximum marks on the dipstick; ensure the correct viscosity was selected for your engine type.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Before adding Carlube Triple R 5W-40 to your engine, always consult your vehicle's owner manual to ensure the 5W-40 viscosity grade and the required performance specifications (ACEA C3 / API SP) align with manufacturer recommendations. To perform an oil change, ensure the engine is warm but not hot to allow for smooth drainage. Always replace the oil filter whenever you perform an oil change to prevent new oil from being contaminated by trapped debris. After refilling, check the dipstick level and run the engine for a few minutes before checking again to account for the oil filter filling. Store bottles in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and keep the caps tightly sealed to prevent moisture contamination.
