Description

Genuine Apec · Part no. A2345L

Apec 5W-40 is a full-ash engine oil in a 5 litre pack for petrol and diesel cars without a diesel particulate filter. Its approvals list covers ACEA A3/B3 and A3/B4, API SN/CF, MB 229.3, VW 502 00 / 505 00, Renault RN0700 and RN0710, GM LL-A-025 and LL-B-025, Porsche A40 and Fiat 9.55535-N2/Z2.

Good to know

• Can I use it in a diesel with a DPF? No, Apec rule it out for cars with a diesel particulate filter. ACEA C grades (C2, C3) are low-ash oils for engines with a diesel particulate filter or petrol particulate filter; A3/B4 and A5/B5 oils are full-ash.
• Which cars does it suit? Petrol and diesel engines without a particulate filter whose handbook names one of its approvals: Renaults on RN0700 or RN0710, VWs on 502 00 / 505 00, or Vauxhalls on the GM grades. GM LL-A-025 is GM's older petrol specification and LL-B-025 its diesel one.
• Is 5 litres enough? Engine oil capacities differ, so check the handbook figure; some larger engines need more than one 5 litre pack.

Which one?

For a low-ash 5W-40 to ACEA C3, for cars with a particulate filter, see the Apec PD 5W40 LS Engine Oil 5 Litre (A2265L). Another full-ash 5W-40 is the Valvoline Synpower Plus 5W40 Engine Oil 5 Litre (890992), which carries MB 229.5.
