Apec 5W40 Premium Engine Oil 1 Litre (A2341L)

Description

Genuine Apec · Part no. A2341L

Apec 5W40 (A2341L) is a 1 litre bottle of 5W-40 engine oil with a long list of approvals for petrol and diesel cars without a particulate filter: ACEA A3/B3 and A3/B4, API SN/CF, Fiat 9.55535-N2/Z2, GM LL-A-025 and LL-B-025, MB 229.3, Porsche A40, Renault RN0700 and RN0710, and VW 502 00 / 505 00.

Good to know

• How do I know it is right for my car? Match a code from your handbook to the list above. With that many approvals it covers a lot of older VW, Mercedes, Vauxhall, Renault, Fiat and Porsche engines, but the code in the book decides.
• Why can't it go in a car with a DPF? The maker says not to use it with a diesel particulate filter: as a full-ash A3/B4 oil it would clog the filter over time. Those cars need a low-ash C grade.
• Is 5W-40 thicker than 5W-30? Both flow the same from cold (the 5W), but a 5W-40 is thicker at running temperature, so use it where the handbook lists 5W-40.

Which one?

For a full change in 5W-40, the Valvoline Synpower Plus 5W40 Engine Oil 5 Litre (890992); the Fahren 5W-40 (FL31001, 1 litre; FL31005, 5 litre) lists a similar set of approvals.
