Purpose and Specifications

Valvoline SynPower 5W-40 is a premium full synthetic engine oil engineered for modern petrol and diesel engines in passenger cars, delivery vans, light trucks, and performance vehicles. This oil is formulated to handle extreme driving conditions while maintaining engine cleanliness and extending oil change intervals.

Key Performance Features:

• Cold Start Protection: Flows instantly at temperatures as low as -30°C, ensuring your engine starts smoothly and receives proper lubrication within seconds
• Heat and Wear Protection: Maintains consistent viscosity across temperature extremes (from cold starts to high-heat highway driving), protecting engine components from friction and wear
• Engine Cleanliness: Advanced detergent additives prevent sludge and varnish buildup, keeping your engine factory-clean for longer life
• Extended Drain Intervals: Synthetic formulation allows for longer periods between oil changes compared to conventional oils, reducing maintenance frequency
• Turbocharged and Supercharged Engine Compatible: Designed for modern high-performance engines with turbochargers and catalytic converters

Meets Major OEM Standards: Approved by Volkswagen (502.00/505.00), Mercedes-Benz (229.5), Porsche, Renault, GM, PSA, and Fiat specifications.

When to Use / Replace?

Replacement Intervals: Follow your vehicle manufacturer's recommended oil change schedule. With SynPower's extended-drain formulation, many modern vehicles can go 10,000 to 15,000 km (or 6 to 12 months) between changes, depending on driving conditions and your owner's manual specifications.

Best For:

• Daily commuting in moderate climates
• Highway and motorway driving
• Vehicles operating in cold climates (below 0°C)
• Turbocharged or supercharged engines
• Diesel direct-injection engines
• Owners seeking longer intervals between oil changes

Operating Temperature Range: Suitable for engines operating between -30°C (cold starts) and +100°C (normal operating temperature).

Shelf Life: Store in a cool, dry place. Unopened containers maintain quality for up to 5 years from manufacture date.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Can I use this oil in my diesel engine?
A: Yes. SynPower 5W-40 is approved for both petrol and diesel engines, including direct-injection diesel engines (meets Volkswagen DID test standards).

Q: How often should I change this oil?
A: Check your vehicle's owner's manual for the exact interval. Most modern vehicles using SynPower can extend intervals to 10,000-15,000 km or 6-12 months. Severe driving conditions (towing, frequent short trips, extreme temperatures) may require more frequent changes.

Q: Is this oil suitable for older vehicles?
A: SynPower 5W-40 meets API SN and API CF specifications, making it compatible with most vehicles from the past 15+ years. Always verify your vehicle's manual before switching to synthetic oil, as some older engines may have specific requirements.
