Product Information

Full details

The Carlube Triple R 15W-40 is a high-performance mineral oil engineered for owners of older petrol and diesel vehicles who require consistent lubrication and engine longevity. Ideal for high-mileage daily drivers and classic cars, it delivers a reliable balance of protection during cold starts and high-temperature operation, though it is specifically intended for older engine architectures rather than modern, low-viscosity requirements.

FAQs

Can I use this in a modern car with a DPF?

No. This oil is designed for older engines and does not meet the low-SAPS requirements for modern diesel particulate filters (DPF).

Is this a synthetic or mineral oil?

This is a premium mineral oil formulated specifically for older petrol and diesel engines.

Does this meet Mercedes-Benz specifications?

Yes, it meets the MB 229.1 specification.

How often should I change this oil?

You should follow the service interval recommendations in your vehicle's owner manual, typically every 5,000 to 7,000 miles for older engines using mineral oil.

Can I mix this with synthetic oil?

While it is technically possible in an emergency, it is highly recommended to use the same oil grade and type for the entire refill to maintain consistent performance.

Troubleshooting

Increased engine noise or tapping

Check oil levels; if low, top up immediately. If the noise persists, consult a mechanic as it may indicate wear unrelated to oil quality.

Oil appears dark shortly after change

This is normal in high-mileage engines as the new oil is cleaning out accumulated deposits from the previous oil's service life.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent for higher mileage engines and classic vehicles
  • Reliable lubrication in varied temperature ranges
  • Helps stabilize older engine operation and emissions
  • Broad industry standard certifications (ACEA/API/MB)

Cons

  • Not suitable for modern engines requiring low-viscosity synthetic oils
  • Requires more frequent change intervals compared to full synthetic alternatives
  • Mineral formulation may not offer the same longevity as modern synthetic lubricants

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Before adding Carlube Triple R 15W-40 to your engine, ensure you verify that your vehicle manual specifies a 15W-40 grade.

  1. Drain Old Oil: Always drain the engine while the oil is warm to ensure impurities are carried out with the old fluid.
  2. Replace Filter: It is best practice to install a new, high-quality oil filter every time you change the oil.
  3. Refill: Add the required amount of Carlube Triple R until the dipstick shows the level between the minimum and maximum marks.
  4. Disposal: Dispose of waste engine oil at your local council recycling center; never pour oil down the drain or onto the ground.

Keep your oil stored in a cool, dry place to prevent moisture contamination and ensure the bottle remains tightly sealed when not in use.
