Purpose and Specifications

ORLEN PLATINUM MAX EXPERT C3 5W-40 is a synthetic engine oil designed for modern gasoline and diesel engines in passenger cars and light commercial vehicles. This oil meets the ACEA C3 standard, which means it provides strong film protection for powerful engines while keeping emissions low.

The 5W-40 viscosity grade means the oil flows easily when your engine is cold (winter protection) and maintains proper thickness at high operating temperatures (summer protection). This allows your engine to start smoothly in cold weather while staying protected during normal driving.

Key Performance Features:

• Advanced Protect Formula reduces valve wear and controls harmful deposits
• Keeps soot suspended in the oil, preventing buildup on DPF (diesel particulate filters) and catalytic converters
• Maintains engine cleanliness throughout the oil change interval
• Compatible with Euro 6 emission standards
• Approved for Volkswagen Group engines (Volkswagen, Audi, Skoda, Seat) with unit injector systems

Operating Temperature Range: Suitable for year-round use from approximately -42°C (cold start) to standard engine operating temperatures of 80-100°C.

When to Use / Replace?

Replace this oil every 10,000 to 15,000 kilometers or 12 months, whichever comes first. Modern vehicles with onboard computers may extend intervals—check your owner's manual for your specific vehicle's recommendation. Use this oil if your vehicle requires ACEA C3 specification or meets Volkswagen standards 505.00 or 505.01.

This oil is ideal for drivers who want reliable engine protection, reduced emissions, and extended drain intervals in modern diesel and gasoline engines.

Frequently Asked Questions

• Can I mix this oil with other brands? Yes, ORLEN PLATINUM MAX EXPERT C3 5W-40 can be mixed with other synthetic or mineral oils if needed, though using the same brand consistently is recommended.
• Is this oil suitable for my older car? This oil is specifically formulated for modern engines (Euro 4, 5, and 6 standards). Check your vehicle's manual to confirm it requires ACEA C3 specification before using.
• What makes this oil better for DPF and catalytic converters? The oil's low ash and phosphorus content (Mid-SAPS formulation) prevents harmful deposits from accumulating on these expensive emission control devices, extending their lifespan.
