Purpose and Specifications

MOTUL SPECIFIC 0720 5W-30 is a fully synthetic diesel engine oil engineered specifically for modern Renault, Dacia, and Samsung diesel engines equipped with diesel particulate filters (DPF). This premium oil meets the stringent Renault RN0720 standard and ACEA C4 classification, designed to handle the demanding thermal conditions of contemporary diesel powerplants while protecting emission control systems.

Key Performance Features:

• Cold Start Protection: The 5W rating ensures smooth engine cranking in winter conditions, reducing strain during the critical first seconds after ignition
• High-Temperature Stability: The 30 rating maintains protective thickness at normal operating temperatures (around 100°C), safeguarding engine components under load
• Extended Drain Intervals: Low volatility and outstanding oxidation resistance allow you to go longer between oil changes—typically 15,000 km or as specified by your vehicle manufacturer
• DPF Compatibility: Low SAPS (Sulfated Ash, Sulfur, Phosphorus) technology protects your diesel particulate filter from premature clogging, extending its lifespan
• Engine Cleanliness: Advanced synthetic formulation prevents varnish and sludge buildup, reducing the risk of ring sticking and maintaining peak engine performance

When to Use / Replace?

Use MOTUL SPECIFIC 0720 5W-30 exclusively in Renault diesel engines with DPF systems (including Laguna III 1.5L dCi and Kangoo II 1.5L dCi models built before specific cutoff dates). Do not mix with non-RN0720 approved oils. Replace according to your vehicle manufacturer's service schedule—typically every 15,000 km or annually, whichever comes first. This oil performs reliably in temperatures ranging from -30°C (winter starts) to +100°C (normal engine operation).

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Can I use this oil in petrol engines?
A: No. MOTUL SPECIFIC 0720 5W-30 is formulated exclusively for diesel engines with DPF systems. Using it in petrol engines or non-DPF diesel engines may compromise performance and void warranties.

Q: How often should I change this oil?
A: Follow your Renault vehicle's service schedule, typically every 15,000 km or 12 months. The synthetic formulation's extended oxidation resistance allows longer intervals than conventional oils, reducing maintenance costs over time.

Q: Will this oil improve fuel economy?
A: Yes. The low viscosity (5W-30) reduces internal engine friction, helping your diesel engine operate more efficiently and potentially improving fuel consumption compared to heavier oil grades.
