Carlube Triple R 5W30 Fully Synthetic 4L

Product Information

Not all engines are the same, so it shouldn't be a surprise that oils aren't the same either. The specification is another way that engine oils differ. Engine oils meeting the C1 specification will increase the life of after-treatment devices and improve the vehicle's fuel economy. Carlube Triple R 5W-30 R-Tec 20 is a fully synthetic, mid-SAPS engine oil formulated to provide optimum durability for the latest generation of petrol and diesel engines. Some other common car models recommend 0W-30 oil, which is similar to 5W-30 but will be less viscous at lower temperatures. Certain Vauxhall Astra, Vauxhall Corsa and MINI Cooper models recommend this.

Many car manufacturers develop their own engine oil specifications. Most notable are Volkswagen and Mercedes-Benz, but BMW, GM, Porsche, PSA and others also have their own. Triple R 5W-30 R-Tec 20 is a fully synthetic engine oil developed with the very latest synthetic technology for today's modern vehicle requirements. Modern car engines need oils that are really durable, and last for thousands of miles between services. Modern oils protect against corrosion and sludge formation, and contain detergent additives to keep the engine clean.Fully synthetic fuel economy low-SAPS oil for diesel & petrol engines and in particular suitable for vehicles fitted with Three Way Catalysts (TWCs) and Diesel Particulate Filters (DPFs) to meet European emissions requirements.

Engine oils aren’t all the same. You can't assume that the same oil you used for your last car will work for this one. More and more often, these are very specialised 'long life' oils designed to support very long intervals between services. The viscosity for hot and cold will both be marked on the oil's container as a code e.g. 5W–30. The first part of the code is the cold temperature grade, and the second part is the high temperature grade. Carlube is the largest independent oil manufacturer in the UK and the biggest automotive brand behind British sporting events. With Tetrosyl’s extensive range of engine oils, lubricants and car care products, it can meet the ever changing demands of modern vehicles. The manufacturer may also give an acceptable equivalent ACEA or API specification, though this might be for 'emergency top-up only'.

Fully synthetic engine oils offer increased engine protection and longer engine life, reduced friction and enhanced lubrication during extreme chilly weather starts and increased fuel economy. and 5W-40 are 2 common types of engine oil that you might come across. The '5' refers to the viscosity in cold weather and the 'W' stands for 'winter'. The '30' or '40' refers to the oil flow at higher engine temperatures. '30' is often for newer petrol engines, while '40' is often for older or diesel engines.

A drop in oil level can do more damage in a modern engine with a smaller sump – oil spends less 'recovery time' in the sump cooling down and hotter oil will break down and oxidise more rapidly leading to increased wear.
