Apec C4 5W30 LS Engine Oil 5 Litre (A2245L)

Description

Genuine Apec · Part no. A2245L

Apec C4 5W-30 LS is a low-ash 5W-30 to ACEA C4 in a 5 litre pack, designed for recent Nissan and Renault diesels and their particulate filters. It carries Renault RN0720 and Mercedes MB 226.51 and 229.51, protects catalysts as well, and Apec say it also suits older Renault models.

Good to know

• Which Renault oil is this? Renault's RN0720 is a separate specification used by some Renault diesels with a particulate filter. This oil lists it, so use it where the handbook or service book names RN0720.
• Is C4 the same as C3? No. ACEA C1 and C4 are the lowest-ash C grades; they are not interchangeable with C2 or C3 unless the handbook allows it.
• Why does it list Mercedes approvals? Mercedes gives MB 226.51 for models fitted with Renault-built diesel engines. This oil lists it along with MB 229.51, so check your handbook names one of them.

Which one?

Another C4 oil to RN0720 and MB 226.51 is the Granville Hypalube C4 5W30 (0815), and Comma's are the PMO Ecoren 5W-30 (ECR5L) and X-Flow Type R 5W-30 (XFR5L). For Renaults on RN17, see the Exopro 5W30 Rn Engine Oil 5 Litre (U248S5L).
