Purpose and Specifications

RAVENOL SMP 5W-30 is a synthetic engine oil designed for modern gasoline and diesel passenger cars, including turbocharged engines. This oil minimizes friction and wear while delivering excellent cold-start performance, even in freezing conditions.

The 5W-30 viscosity rating means it flows easily when your engine is cold (5W rating) and maintains proper protection at normal operating temperatures (30 rating). This makes it ideal for year-round driving in most climates.

Key Performance Features:

• Reduces fuel consumption through low-friction formulation
• Protects diesel particulate filters (DPF) and catalytic converters, extending their lifespan
• Operates safely at high engine temperatures without thinning out
• Minimizes oil evaporation, so you lose less oil between changes
• Keeps engine internals clean—no harmful deposits on pistons, rings, or valves

OEM Approvals: BMW LL-04, Mercedes-Benz 229.51 and 229.31, Porsche C30, Volkswagen 504.00, 507.00, and G 052 195, plus Chrysler MS-11106 and FIAT 9.55535-S1. Also meets API SN and ACEA C3 standards.

When to Use / Replace?

Use this oil in any modern passenger car or van where your manufacturer recommends a 5W-30 synthetic oil. Check your owner's manual for the correct specification.

Oil Change Intervals: RAVENOL SMP 5W-30 supports extended oil change intervals up to 50,000 km or 2 years, whichever comes first. However, always follow your vehicle manufacturer's recommended service schedule—some newer cars allow longer intervals, while others may require more frequent changes.

Operating Temperature Range: This oil performs reliably from -30°C (cold starts) to +200°C (high-load driving).

Storage: Store in a cool, dry place. Unopened containers remain stable for several years when kept away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Can I use this oil in my diesel car?
A: Yes. RAVENOL SMP 5W-30 is approved for both gasoline and diesel engines, including those with turbochargers. The Mid SAPS formulation (reduced ash, phosphorus, and sulfur) is specifically designed to protect diesel emission systems.

Q: Will this oil save me money on fuel?
A: The low-friction design can contribute to modest fuel economy improvements, typically 1–3% depending on driving habits and engine condition. The main benefit is reduced wear and longer engine life.

Q: Is this synthetic oil safe for older engines?
A: RAVENOL SMP 5W-30 is formulated for modern engines (Euro IV and newer). If your vehicle is older or uses a different oil specification, consult your owner's manual before switching.
