Valvoline SynPower 5W-40 Full Synthetic Motor Oil – Premium Engine Protection

Purpose and Specifications

Valvoline SynPower 5W-40 is a premium full synthetic motor oil engineered for modern petrol and diesel engines in passenger cars, delivery vans, light trucks, and minibuses. This oil meets strict European and international standards including ACEA A3/B4, API SN/CF, and approvals from Mercedes-Benz (MB 229.5), Porsche (A40), and General Motors (GM-LL-B-025). It is specifically formulated for turbocharged engines, direct-injection diesel engines, and vehicles equipped with catalytic converters and diesel particulate filters.

Key Performance Benefits

• Cold Start Performance: Flows instantly at temperatures as low as -30°C, ensuring your engine starts easily and receives full lubrication within seconds of ignition
• Extended Drain Intervals: Formulated for long-drain oil change schedules – typically 10,000 to 15,000 km or 12 months between changes, depending on your vehicle manufacturer's recommendations
• Engine Cleanliness: Special detergent additives prevent sludge and varnish buildup, keeping internal engine components clean and extending engine life
• Wear Protection: Advanced anti-wear chemistry shields critical engine parts under extreme heat and pressure, maintaining engine performance over time
• Thermal Stability: Resists breakdown at high operating temperatures (up to 150°C), maintaining consistent oil film strength and viscosity
• Emissions System Safe: Low SAPS (ash, phosphorus, sulfur) formulation protects diesel particulate filters and catalytic converters from deposit buildup

When to Use / Replace?

Use Valvoline SynPower 5W-40 in any petrol or diesel passenger vehicle requiring ACEA A3/B4 or API SN/CF specification oils. This includes modern BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Volkswagen, Audi, Porsche, and Renault vehicles. Replace the oil every 10,000–15,000 km or annually (whichever comes first), though some modern engines with extended-service intervals may go longer – always consult your owner's manual. This oil is ideal for vehicles operating in varied climates, from cold winters to hot summers, and for drivers who want maximum engine protection without frequent oil changes.

Storage and Shelf Life

Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Unopened containers maintain full performance for up to 5 years from the manufacturing date. Once opened, use within one season to ensure optimal additive performance.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Can I use this oil in my older car?
A: Yes, if your vehicle's manual specifies ACEA A3/B3 or API SL/CF oils. SynPower 5W-40 exceeds these requirements and provides superior protection. However, always verify your vehicle's specification before switching oil types.

Q: Is this oil suitable for diesel engines with particulate filters?
A: Yes. The low SAPS formulation is specifically designed for modern diesel engines equipped with DPF (diesel particulate filter) technology, preventing filter clogging and maintaining emissions system efficiency.

Q: How does 5W-40 viscosity work?
A: The '5W' means the oil flows easily at cold temperatures (down to -30°C), while '40' indicates it maintains protective thickness at normal engine operating temperatures (around 100°C). This balance ensures reliable cold starts and consistent protection year-round.
