Product Information

Full details

This Morris 5W-40 engine oil is designed for modern petrol and diesel engines, particularly those with exhaust gas after-treatment systems like Diesel Particulate Filters (DPFs). It offers enhanced engine efficiency, improved fuel economy, and excellent cold start protection. A key consideration is that it's a mid-SAPS formulation, optimized for emissions systems, which might not be suitable for older engines not designed for this specification.

FAQs

Is this oil suitable for my older diesel car without a DPF?

This is a mid-SAPS oil, optimized for engines with Diesel Particulate Filters (DPFs). While it may not cause immediate harm to older engines, it is generally recommended to use a full SAPS oil (higher levels of Sulphur, Ash, and Phosphorus) for vehicles not equipped with after-treatment systems, as they are designed to handle it.

How often should I change this engine oil?

Consult your vehicle's owner's manual for the recommended oil change interval. Due to its synthetic formulation and advanced additives, this oil may allow for extended drain intervals compared to conventional oils, but always follow manufacturer guidelines.

What does 'Mid-SAPS' mean?

Mid-SAPS refers to the oil having 'medium' levels of Sulphated Ash, Phosphorus, and Sulphur. This formulation is crucial for preventing the build-up and clogging of Diesel Particulate Filters (DPFs) and other sensitive exhaust after-treatment systems.

Can I use this oil in my petrol engine?

Yes, this oil is recommended for the latest petrol engines, including turbo and supercharged versions, that require a lubricant meeting API SN Plus, ACEA C3, and other specified performance levels. Always confirm compatibility with your owner's manual.

What is the difference between ACEA C3 and other ACEA classifications?

ACEA C3 is a specific standard for mid-SAPS engine oils designed for modern engines with after-treatment systems. Other ACEA classifications (like A3/B4 or C2) are designed for different engine types, performance requirements, or emission system compatibility.

Will this oil improve my car's performance?

Yes, by reducing internal friction, providing better lubrication, and ensuring optimal engine cleanliness, this synthetic oil contributes to increased engine efficiency, potentially leading to improved power output and fuel economy.

Troubleshooting

Oil pressure warning light remains on after starting

Immediately turn off the engine. Check the oil level and ensure it is within the correct range. Verify the oil filter is correctly installed and tightened. If the issue persists, there may be a deeper problem requiring professional diagnosis.

Engine making unusual knocking or ticking noises

Ensure the correct viscosity and specification of oil are being used as per your vehicle manufacturer's recommendation. Low oil levels or old, degraded oil can cause such noises. Check oil level and condition; if satisfactory, consult a mechanic.

Increased exhaust smoke (especially black smoke)

While this oil is designed to reduce emissions, excessive smoke can indicate other engine issues like fuel system problems or incomplete combustion. Ensure the oil is appropriate for your engine type and consider a full engine diagnostic.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Enhances engine efficiency and fuel economy.
  • Provides superior protection for modern emission systems (DPF).
  • Offers excellent cold start performance, reducing wear.
  • Protects turbochargers and maintains performance at high temperatures.
  • Lowers oil consumption due to low volatility.

Cons

  • Mid-SAPS formulation may not be suitable for older vehicles without DPFs.
  • Requires specific viscosity and performance standards, not universally applicable.
  • Synthetic formulation generally comes at a higher price point than conventional oils.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Compatibility: This oil meets specific performance levels including API SN Plus, ACEA C3, BMW Longlife-04, Ford WSS-M2C917-A, and MB 229.31 / 229.58. Always consult your vehicle's owner's manual to confirm if these specifications are recommended for your specific make and model. It is particularly suited for the latest petrol and diesel engines requiring a low viscosity, mid-SAPS lubricant.

Setup (Oil Change):

  1. Ensure the engine is at operating temperature but not excessively hot.
  2. Safely lift and support the vehicle.
  3. Locate and remove the oil drain plug.
  4. Allow the old oil to drain completely.
  5. Replace the oil drain plug (with a new washer if required).
  6. Locate and remove the oil filter.
  7. Lubricate the rubber seal on the new oil filter with a thin film of fresh oil.
  8. Screw the new oil filter on by hand until the seal contacts the mounting surface, then tighten an additional 3/4 to 1 full turn (refer to filter instructions).
  9. Refill the engine with the correct amount of Morris MULTIVIS ADT C3 5W-40 (refer to owner's manual for capacity).
  10. Start the engine and allow it to run for a few minutes, checking for leaks.
  11. Turn off the engine, wait a few minutes, and check the oil level on the dipstick, topping up if necessary.

Care: Regularly check the oil level and condition. Adhere to the manufacturer's recommended oil change intervals, which can often be extended with high-quality synthetic oils like this one. Dispose of used oil responsibly at an authorized collection center.
