Product Information

Full details

The Carlube Triple R 5W-30 R-Tec 25 is a high-performance, fully synthetic engine oil engineered for owners of modern petrol and diesel vehicles, particularly those requiring Renault RN0720 compliance. Its primary benefit is its low SAPS formulation, which minimizes particulate build-up to protect sensitive exhaust aftertreatment systems like DPFs, though users should ensure their vehicle strictly requires C4 or C3 specification oil before use to avoid potential engine incompatibility.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Is this oil suitable for my car?

Check your vehicle handbook for the required ACEA specification (C3 or C4) and OEM approval (specifically Renault RN0720).

Can I use this in an older engine?

It is generally designed for modern engines with complex emission systems; check with your manufacturer before using in older vehicles.

What does 'Low SAPS' mean?

It means the oil has reduced levels of Sulfated Ash, Phosphorus, and Sulfur, which are additives that can clog modern DPFs and catalytic converters.

How often should I change this oil?

Follow your vehicle manufacturer's recommended service intervals, as these vary based on your specific engine and driving conditions.

Is this a mineral or synthetic oil?

This is a fully synthetic engine oil, offering better protection and durability than mineral or semi-synthetic options.

Troubleshooting

Oil pressure light remains on after change

Check oil levels immediately and verify that the correct oil filter was installed securely.

Increased smoke from exhaust

Verify that the engine was not overfilled beyond the 'Max' mark on the dipstick.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Protects sensitive exhaust aftertreatment systems
  • High-quality fully synthetic base oil
  • Excellent resistance to oxidation and sludge
  • Specifically approved for Renault RN0720 standards

Cons

  • Not suitable for older vehicles without DPFs
  • Limited to specific manufacturer specifications
  • Higher cost compared to semi-synthetic alternatives

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Before adding this oil, always consult your vehicle owner's manual to confirm the manufacturer recommends a 5W-30 C3 or C4 grade. To perform an oil change, ensure the engine is warm but not hot to allow for better drainage. Always replace the oil filter whenever you change the engine oil to prevent old contaminants from circulating in the new, high-performance fluid. Store the container in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and keep the cap tightly sealed to prevent moisture contamination. Do not mix this oil with non-synthetic or incompatible grades, as this will compromise the effectiveness of the low SAPS additives.
