Purpose and Specifications

Valvoline All-Climate C3 5W-40 5L is a premium full synthetic engine oil built for year-round protection in petrol, diesel, and LPG engines. Its 5W-40 viscosity flows easily at cold starts down to -30°C for quick lubrication, while staying thick up to 150°C to shield turbocharged diesels and modern engines with DPF filters from wear and breakdown.

This oil meets tough standards like ACEA C3, API SN/CF, BMW LL-04, MB 229.31, GM Dexos 2, Porsche A40, Renault RN0700/RN0710, and VW 505.00/505.01, making it perfect for European cars including VW unit injectors, Mercedes, BMW, and light trucks.

• Keeps engine clean: Detergent additives fight sludge and deposits for smooth running.
• Easy cold starts: Instant flow protects parts right after ignition.
• Fuel savings: Low friction cuts consumption without losing power.
• Long-life protection: Resists heat and oxidation for reliable performance.

When to Use / Replace?

Use this oil in turbo diesels, high-mileage vehicles, or any car needing low-SAPS oil for emissions systems. Ideal for all climates from freezing winters to hot summers.

• Replace every 10,000-15,000 km or 12 months for daily drivers - check your owner's manual.
• Shelf life: 5 years unopened in cool, dry storage.
