Engine oil EUROLUB SUPERTEC 5W-20 5 L
Purpose and Specifications
EUROLUB SUPERTEC 5W-20 is a fuel-efficient synthetic engine oil engineered for modern gasoline engines, particularly Ford EcoBoost models. This low-viscosity formula reduces fuel consumption while maintaining reliable engine protection under demanding conditions.
Key Performance Features:
- Synthetic base oil formulation for superior thermal stability
- Flows easily at cold temperatures (pour point: -45°C) for quick engine startup
- Maintains protective film at high operating temperatures (flash point: 235°C)
- Reduces internal engine friction, lowering fuel consumption by up to 3-5% compared to heavier oils
- Minimizes wear on critical engine components including pistons, rings, and bearings
Approvals: API SN, ACEA C5, Ford WSS-M2C934-B, STJLR.03.5004
When to Use and Replace?
Use EUROLUB SUPERTEC 5W-20 in vehicles where the manufacturer specifies SAE 5W-20 viscosity. This oil is ideal for:
- Ford EcoBoost turbocharged engines
- Modern fuel-injected gasoline engines requiring low-viscosity protection
- Vehicles prioritizing fuel economy without sacrificing engine durability
Replacement Schedule: Follow your vehicle manufacturer's recommended oil change interval, typically every 10,000-15,000 km or 6-12 months, whichever comes first. Severe driving conditions (frequent short trips, towing, extreme temperatures) may require more frequent changes.
Storage: Store in a cool, dry location. Shelf life is typically 3-5 years in sealed containers when stored properly.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Can I use 5W-20 if my car requires 5W-30?
A: No. Always follow your vehicle manufacturer's specification. Using a thinner oil than recommended can reduce engine protection and void warranties. The first number (5W) indicates cold-start performance; the second (20 or 30) indicates protection at operating temperature.
Q: Will this oil improve my fuel economy?
A: Yes, but modestly. Low-viscosity oils like 5W-20 reduce internal engine friction, typically improving fuel economy by 2-5% compared to heavier grades. Actual savings depend on driving habits, vehicle condition, and engine design.
Q: Is synthetic oil better than conventional?
A: EUROLUB SUPERTEC uses synthetic base oils, which offer superior thermal stability, better cold-flow properties, and longer drain intervals. Synthetic oils maintain consistent protection across a wider temperature range and resist breakdown better than conventional mineral oils.
