SN: Available since 2010, it is designed for modern engines, including those with turbo and emission systems.
SP: The most recent specification (2020 and onwards). It offers higher performance, protection against LSPI, improved fuel economy, and longer catalyst life.
SL: Introduced in 2001, it offers excellent performance for modern engines. It is ideal for vehicles with low oil consumption.
SN+: Specification that adds improvements to the existing SN, offering additional protection for turbo engines from the LSPI (Low-Speed Pre-Ignition) phenomenon, which can cause serious damage.
CF: It concerns diesel engines operating under high load and temperature conditions. It focuses on protection against deposits and corrosion.
SG: Applies to engines manufactured during the period 1989-1993. Introduces increased resistance to oxidation and is compatible with all previous specifications.
CI-4: Suitable for Euro IV engines using exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) systems. Provides improved protection against oxidation and wear.
CJ-4: Designed for engines equipped with particulate filters (DPF) and SCR systems. Focuses on reducing wear and deposit buildup.
SH: Designed for engines produced from 1994-1996. Includes more performance tests, ensuring higher levels of protection and compatibility.
CK-4: Focuses on reducing wear, oxidation, and protecting the particulate filter (DPF). Provides high performance and increased lubricant lifespan.
CG-4: Compatible with engines that meet Euro I and Euro II emission standards. Provides protection for high-performance engines with extended oil change intervals.
SJ: Introduced in 1997, it is suitable for engines with controlled emissions. It provides protection that meets the needs of modern vehicles.
SF: Designed for engines from the period 1980-1988. Offers better protection against wear, sludge, and deposits.
SA: Lubricants intended for older diesel engines operating under low-demand conditions. They provide basic protection against wear and oxidation.
CH-4: Meets the needs of engines that comply with Euro III standards and use low-sulfur fuels. Offers increased protection against deposits and wear.
CD: Introduced in 1955 for engines equipped with a supercharger. Provides enhanced protection against wear and deposits, supporting higher performance engines.
Viscosity: It reveals how viscous a lubricant is. It is determined by 2 numbers. The first with the letter "W" (Winter) refers to how the oil flows when it is cold. The second refers to how the oil flows hot under engine operating conditions.
Semi-Synthetic: Combination of synthetic and mineral oils. They offer better performance than traditional mineral oils, while being more economical than synthetic ones. Ideal for mid-range vehicles.
Synthetic: Oils created from chemical compounds, aimed at providing high performance and protection for the engine. They have a homogeneous composition and greater resistance to extreme temperatures. Ideal for modern high-performance engines.
