Purpose and Specifications

Comma PD Plus 5W-40 is a fully synthetic engine oil designed for both petrol and diesel vehicles, including those with modern exhaust after-treatment systems like diesel particulate filters (DPF). This mid-SAPS formulation protects your engine while keeping emissions systems clean and functioning properly.

The 5W-40 viscosity means the oil flows smoothly during cold winter starts (down to around -20°C) while maintaining protective thickness at normal engine operating temperatures (up to 100°C+). This multigrade technology ensures reliable performance across all seasons without needing to change oil weights.

Key Approvals:

• ACEA C3 (European standard for low-SAPS oils)
• API SN/CF (American Petroleum Institute ratings)
• VW 505.00 and 505.01 (Volkswagen Group specification)
• MB 229.31 and MB 226.5 (Mercedes-Benz approval)
• Ford WSS-M2C917-A, Porsche A40, GM Dexos 2

This broad approval range means it works in Volkswagen PD diesel engines, Mercedes, Ford, Porsche, and GM vehicles requiring C3-grade protection.

When to Use and Replace

Use Comma PD Plus 5W-40 in vehicles specified for ACEA C3 oils, particularly Volkswagen PD (Pumpe Düse) diesel engines and modern petrol engines with exhaust after-treatment. Replace every 15,000 to 20,000 km or annually, whichever comes first, depending on your vehicle's service schedule and driving conditions. Always check your owner's manual for exact intervals.

Important: Do not mix this oil with other types or brands, as doing so compromises the exhaust system protection guarantee.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Can I use this in my older diesel engine?
A: Only if your vehicle's manual specifies ACEA C3 or VW 505.01. Older engines may require different specifications. Check your owner's manual first.

Q: Is this oil suitable for winter driving?
A: Yes. The 5W rating ensures smooth cold starts in temperatures down to approximately -20°C, making it suitable for most European winters.

Q: Will this protect my DPF (diesel particulate filter)?
A: Yes. The mid-SAPS (low ash) formulation is specifically designed to protect DPF systems by minimizing ash buildup that can clog the filter.
