Description
Overview:
Optilube 5W40 Fully Synthetic Oil 1 Litre (MPN 867 500) is a high-performance multigrade lubricant for petrol and diesel engines in cars and light commercial vehicles. Formulated from fully synthetic base oils and a balanced additive system, it provides a stable protective film to reduce wear, control deposits, and resist oxidation under demanding conditions. The 5W-40 viscosity gives quick circulation at cold start and dependable protection at operating temperature, supporting both naturally aspirated and turbocharged engines. Suitable where the following specifications are required: API SL/CF, ACEA A3-12/B4-12, Mercedes-Benz MB 229.3 and MB 229.1, BMW Longlife-98, Porsche A40, and Volkswagen 501.00, 502.00, 505.00. Supplied in a convenient 1 litre pack for service fills or top-ups.
Key Features:
- Fully synthetic formulation for strong film strength and wear protection across a wide temperature range
- 5W-40 viscosity grade for fast cold-start flow and high-temperature stability
- Detergent and dispersant package helps keep engines clean by controlling sludge and varnish
- Suitable for petrol and diesel engines, including many turbocharged and direct-injection designs (check handbook for suitability)
- Supports OEM requirement lists: API SL/CF; ACEA A3-12/B4-12; MB 229.3/229.1; BMW LL-98; Porsche A40; VW 501.00/502.00/505.00
- Oxidation and shear stability to help maintain viscosity over the service interval
- Corrosion and foam inhibition for reliable operation under varied driving conditions
- 1 litre pack size is practical for carrying in a vehicle or workshop and for accurate top-ups
- Helps improve efficiency by reducing friction and minimising wear on critical engine parts
- Blends well with other oils of the same grade and specification for safe top-up in mixed-use scenarios
Typical Applications:
Ideal for routine oil changes and top-ups in passenger cars, vans, and light commercial vehicles that specify a 5W-40 A3/B4 oil. Suitable for mixed petrol and diesel fleets, naturally aspirated or turbocharged engines, and many European makes that call for the listed specifications.
