The key Euro VI oil which is also backward compatible for lubricating all types of engines – Euro V and previous, fitted or not with post treatment systems, and with its “low-SAPS” technology and fuel economy benefits, it offers a range of customer benefits that include outstanding engine protection, excellent anti-wear performance, first-rate thermal stability, easier cold start, and improved fuel economy.
A new generation synthetic lubricant, it is suitable for the latest commercial vehicles including Scania, Mercedes Benz, DAF, MAN, Volvo, Renault Trucks, IVECO, Daimler, Cummins, as well as certain gas engines.
