Hi-Tec Synplus SN/CF 5W/30 is a full synthetic, low SAPS, super high performance engine oil which combines the latest development in oil formulation and additive technology to provide a lubricating oil with the highest level of protection.
Today’s environmentally conscious market demands reduced emissions and increased fuel efficiency. This has led to the development of newengine designs resulting in demands for higher quality lubricants.
In recent years car manufacturers have developed smaller, higher output engines to meet stricter fuel economy limits. Small engines helpdecrease vehicle weight and improve economy but these engines impact lubricants through:
Increased heat which accelerates the rate of oil oxidation, nitration and deposit formation. This degrades the oil and encourages thecreation of more acid and increases viscosity.
Increased pressure and speed which makes it harder for the oil to maintain a lubricant film to prevent metal on metal contact. Thisaccelerates valve train wear.
Emission Control. Most of today’s petrol engines are fitted with three way catalytic converters which reduce emissions of CO, NOx and unburned carbon. These catalytic converters comprise a Reduction Catalyst, which converts NOx to harmless Nitrogen, and an Oxidation Catalyst which burns the CO and hydrocarbons. Catalytic converters however are susceptible to SAPS (Sulfated Ash, Phosphorous and Sulfur)which are present in engine oil detergents and anti-wear additives and in base oils.
Hi-Tec Synplus SN/CF 5W/30 is designed to meet all these challenges to the lubricant systems. Hi-Tec Synplus SN/CF 5W/30 meets orexceeds the following demanding performance requirements:
API SN: the newest passenger car gasoline engine oil service category requiring improved oxidation resistance and deposit protection whichtoday’s smaller higher output engines demand, better wear protection for valve trains and reduced evaporative loss with less requirement fortop up oil. API SN oils provide better low-temperature performance over the life of the oil, extended oil drain intervals in line with the engine manufacturers’ recommendations, and extended life for catalytic converters.
ACEA A3/B4 and A3/B3: Hi-Tec Synplus SN/CF 5W/30 meets the requirements of the Association of European Automobile Manufacturers(ACEA) A3/B4 and A3/B3 grades which call for stable, stay in grade oil for use in high performance gasoline and direct injection diesel enginesand car or light van diesel engines. The A3/B4 and A3/B3 oils may be used for extended drain intervals where specified by the engine manufacturer and/or as year round low viscosity oils and/or for severe conditions as defined by the engine manufacturer.
ACEA C3: Hi-Tec Synplus SN/CF 5W/30 may also be used where oil meeting ACEA C3 is specified. ACEA C3 calls for stable stay-in-grade oilsintended for use as a catalyst compatible lubricants in vehicles with Diesel Particulate Filters (DPF) and Three Way Catalysts (TWC) in highperformance car and light van diesel and gasoline engines. These oils will help prolong the life of the DPF and TWC.
General Motors Dexos 2: Hi-Tec Synplus SN/CF 5W/30 meets the requirement of General Motors Dexos 2 grade which call for excellentprotection for the modern diesel vehicles with advance pollution control equipments. Dexos 2 is implemented to limit certain chemicalcomponents to prolong catalyst life and protect the emission reduction systems.
Daimler Chrysler MB229.51: Hi-Tec Synplus SN/CF 5W/30 can be used where MB229.51 is called for. The synthetic formulation meetsthe extended drain requirements of Mercedes Benz. Its lower volatility will reduce the evaporation of lighter oil fractions which would lead tooil thickening, contaminant concentration and increased oil consumption.
BMW Longlife LL-04: Hi-Tec Synplus SN/CF 5W/30 meets the environmentally driven BMW Longlife-04 oil standard. The low-SAPS formulakeeps the engine and exhaust system clean which reduces harmful emissions. Low-SAPS technology helps reduce blocking in BMW’s particulatefilters. Suitable for petrol and diesel models.
