Purpose and Specifications

EUROLUB SYNT PDI 5W-40 is a fully synthetic, multi-grade engine oil designed for both petrol and diesel engines in passenger cars and vans. It works with or without turbochargers and is specifically formulated for modern engines with soot particle filters, meeting strict European and manufacturer standards.

This oil provides reliable protection across a wide temperature range. The 5W rating means it flows smoothly in cold winter conditions (down to approximately -30°C), while the 40 rating ensures it maintains proper thickness at normal operating temperatures (around 100°C). The synthetic base delivers consistent performance and extended drain intervals compared to conventional oils.

Key Approvals:

• ACEA C3 (European standard for low-SAPS oils)
• API SN and API CF (American Petroleum Institute standards)
• BMW Longlife-04, Mercedes-Benz 229.51/229.31, Volkswagen 505.00/505.01
• GM dexos2®, Ford WSS-M2C917-A, Porsche A40

When to Use / Replace?

Use EUROLUB SYNT PDI 5W-40 in any petrol or diesel passenger car or light van that calls for a 5W-40 synthetic oil. Check your vehicle's owner manual for the correct specification.

Replacement intervals: Synthetic oils like this typically allow 10,000 to 15,000 km between oil changes (or 12 months, whichever comes first). Some modern vehicles with extended service schedules may go up to 20,000 km. Always follow your manufacturer's recommendations.

Operating conditions: This oil performs reliably in temperatures from -30°C to +100°C, making it suitable for year-round use in most climates. It's especially beneficial for engines with turbochargers, which run hotter and require robust protection.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Can I use this oil in my diesel engine with a particulate filter?
A: Yes. EUROLUB SYNT PDI 5W-40 is specifically formulated for diesel engines with soot particle filters. Its low-SAPS (Sulfated Ash, Phosphorus, Sulfur) composition helps protect these filters from clogging.

Q: How long does a 60L container last?
A: A typical passenger car holds 4–6 liters per oil change. A 60L container provides approximately 10–15 oil changes, depending on your vehicle's capacity and your driving habits. Shelf life for unopened synthetic oil is generally 3–5 years when stored in a cool, dry place.

Q: Is this oil suitable for high-mileage vehicles?
A: Yes. The synthetic formulation and ACEA C3 rating make it suitable for modern engines, including those with higher mileage, as long as they call for a 5W-40 specification. However, always verify your vehicle's manual first.
