40% off RRP, and actually ~45% off if you check SCA or Autobarn prices.
Suits Germany turbo charged engines, such as VW, Porsche, Mercedes Benz.
Bought for family's C-Class sedan, which should use MB Approval 229.5 oils, including 5w40 or 0w40, where popular & cheap 5w30 is unsuitable.
0w-40 oil is usually much more expensive than 5w30 products. Different things.
This is only for those cars need 0w-40 and OEM Approval standards.
Meets or exceeds industry specifications:
- American Petroleum Institute (API) Service Classification (Petrol) : SN, SM, SL, SJ, SH and all superseded classifications. (Diesel) : CF
- ACEA A3/B4 High performance shear stable petrol/diesel engine oil
- BMW Longlife – 01
- VW 502 00/ 505 00
- MB-Approval 229.3/ 229.5
- Porsche A40
Additionally, you can get a Mann filter at 40% off if you buy 2 bottles of this oil. Good for someone also needs the oil filter.
EDGE 5W-40 A3/B4 meets the same specs and is usually cheaper, eg. goes on sale for the same price as the 5W-30.
It's effectively the same thing here in Australia where the cold cranking viscosity is pretty much irrelevant.
