Description

Premium synthetic, low emission, fuel economy SAE 5w/30 motor oil for late model gasoline, diesel and gas engines, especially when equipped with particulate filters and turbochargers.

The product has been developed specially for the latest generation of gasoline and diesel engines in passenger cars and vans, equipped with exhaust treatment devices such as particulate filters, catalytic converters, exhaust gas re-circulation (EGR) etc.

The latest low emission additive technology with reduced sulphated ash, phosphorus and sulphur, combined with carefully selected synthetic base oil. It ensures long term performance retention and protects exhaust after treatment systems against blocking and contamination. It reduces deposits in the engine and the turbocharger to ensure full boost pressure, engine power and fuel economy.

It avoids poisoning and degradation of catalyst and filter systems due to latest low emission technology for extended service.

It provides a significant and long-lasting reduction of fuel and oil consumption and allows maximum oil drain intervals.

Using only new generation components the product stays in grade even under most severe operating conditions.

The excellent low temperature viscosity facilitates cold start and ensures fast oil circulation and minimal engine wear.

Personally I have never heard of them, BUT it meets VW507.00, which is good enough for me.

'Can be used where the following specifications are required' (ie in this case 504 00 507 00) is not the same as saying that the oil meets those specifications. This distinction could be critical if pursuing a claim against Skoda for engine-related damage, eg timing chain failure on a TSI engine. I wouldn't use it when there are ample oils available which clearly state those approvals on the container with no caveats or questionable wording. JMTPW.
