Car Engine Oil

• Engine oil depending on car model

  Find the right engine oil for my car model

  Search for your car using the menu and find the engine oil compatible with your car.

  If several choices are possible, preferably favor cold fluid oils, for example 0w-30 0w-40

  Because more than half of the wear on your engine occurs when starting.

• Car Engine Oil by viscosity

  To find the right engine oil:

  Viscosity: the number before the “ W ” indicates the fluidity of the oil when cold. The number after the “ W ” indicates the hot viscosity.

  A 0W-40 is more fluid when cold than a 5W-30 oil and a 5W-30 is more fluid when hot than a 0W-40 .

  A 0w-40 engine oil is smoother when starting and at the same time more viscous when hot than a 5w-30 oil.

  ACEA standard: when it contains a " C " (examples ACEA C2, ACEA C3...) these are oils designed for Diesel engines equipped with a DPF (or DPF, particle filter) they are also suitable for gasoline engines and Diesel without FAP.

  The “ A ” in the ACEA standard concerns gasoline engines. For Diesel it is the letter “ B ”. All oils are Petrol/Turbo-Diesel and therefore have A and B standards attached

  For oils compatible with FAP The ACEA Cx standard is combined with ACEA Ax/Bx

  All current car engine oils are suitable for both Diesel and Petrol engines.

  Whether your oil is ACEA A1/B1 or A5/B5 does not reflect a difference in quality but corresponds to manufacturer requirements. The most common engine oils frequently have the ACEA A3/B3/B4 standard.

  The exception is the ACEA A2/B2 standard which is completely outdated.

  API standard: Non-transposable American standard for European car engines.

• Oil for BMW

  Find your BMW compatible oil. The references to Longlife-98 and Longlife-01 engine standards have disappeared in favor of BMW Longlife-04 (LL-04) oil, which replaces all previous standards for BMW engine oils.

  For BMWs equipped with ZF automatic transmissions, we offer original manufacturer BMW ZF BVA oil change kits.

• Oils for Audi VW Seat

  The Audi Volkswagen Seat & Skoda oil standards are common due to the sharing of mechanical components in the VAG group.

  For Diesel engines with pump injectors the minimum required standard is VW 505.01 which generally corresponds to a viscosity 5w40.

  The more recent VW LL-03 or Longlife 03 standard generally corresponds to engine oils with a viscosity of 5w30.

  An exception for Touareg V10 and R5 TDI engines for which it is preferable to use a 0w30 oil standard VW 506.01.

  You can find the right oil for transmissions , and also ZF oil change kits for Tiptronic transmissions

• Oils for Mercedes

  To more easily choose your engine oil for Mercedes CDI, here are the standards to follow:

  For engines without DPF: the MB 229.3 or 229.5 standard is sufficient

  For Mercedes engines with DPF, MB 229.31 or 229.51 standard is required (also suitable for engines without DPF)

  For better lubrication and fuel savings, always favor fluid oils, for example 0w30, 0w40 and do not exceed grade 5w40

• Oils for Porsche

  Engine and transmission oils approved by Porsche.

  In engine oil, the Porsche standards are very simple, we find the C30 standard for Porsche Diesel engines and the A40 standard for Porsche cars with gasoline engines.

  The exception are 10w-60 oils which, although not approved, are strongly recommended, particularly on flat engines.

  For gearboxes it becomes much more complicated, do not hesitate to contact us if you cannot find

• Peugeot Citroën oil

  Peugeot Citroën require very important standards specific to their engines on HDI engines which have long been equipped with particulate filters (FAP)

  We find the PSA B71 2290 standard for a 5w-30 oil and now the PSA B71 2312 standard for a 0w-30 oil .

  This standard surpasses the previous one and is backwards compatible.

• Oils for Renault

  Oils for Renault underwent a significant evolution in 2009, particularly because of Diesel engines with particle filters.

  The Renault standards for engines are now RN 0700 for gasoline, RN 0710 for Diesel without FAP and RN 0720 for Diesel with FAP

  The RN 0720 standard must be scrupulously respected to avoid particle filter problems on the one hand and very serious engine problems which can occur if you do not use the correct engine oil.
