Manufacturer's description

PETRONAS Syntium Prime AV 5W-40 is an advanced synthetic technology lubricant formulated with °CoolTech™ technology, which effectively controls heat, resists oxidation and prevents oil degradation and deposit build-up, protecting engine parts and maintaining engine efficiency for the full drain interval. It is especially designed for passenger cars with direct-injection turbocharged petrol and diesel engines such as Mercedes-Benz and VW (please refer to the owner's manual). It is also suitable for SUVs, light vans and vehicles running on biofuels and fitted with exhaust after-treatment and emission-control devices such as diesel particulate filters and catalytic converters, as well as fuel injectors, multi-valve systems or turbochargers operating under severe conditions. The formulation delivers an exceptional ability to maintain oil thickness and reduce engine wear, to protect against oil oxidation and thickening throughout the drain interval, and to control sludge build-up for maximum power and efficiency. It meets API SN/CF and ACEA C3 and carries MB-Approval 229.51, VW 505.00/505.01, Porsche and Renault RN 0700/0710 approvals, with Ford WSS-M2C917-A and FCA 9.55535-S2 performance levels.
