Purpose and Specifications

ALCO FILTER SPECIAL SYNTH 5W40 5L is a fully synthetic engine oil designed to keep your gasoline and diesel engines running smoothly. This budget-friendly 5-liter option flows easily during cold starts down to -30°C, protecting vital parts instantly, while staying thick and stable up to 150°C to prevent overheating and wear during intense drives.
