Description

Genuine Apec · Part no. A2021L

Apec 15W40 (A2021L) is a 1 litre bottle of 15W-40 engine oil for older petrol and diesel engines whose makers specified this thicker grade. It lists ACEA A3/B4 and A3/B3, API SL/CF, Mercedes MB 229.1 and VW 505.00, and is made to resist sludge in stop-start town driving.

Good to know

Is 15W-40 right for a modern car? Only if your handbook lists it. The 15W part means it flows more slowly from cold than a 5W or 10W oil, so it belongs in older car engines that were built around it.
Can I top up a 10W-40 engine with it? Topping up with the same grade and approval already in the engine is the safe rule; a small top-up of another approved grade is better than running low, then change back at the next service.
Does it suit diesels with a DPF? No. Its ACEA A3/B4 rating makes it a full-ash oil; a diesel particulate filter needs a low-ash C-grade oil.

Which one?

For a mineral 15W-40 from Comma, the X-Flow Type MF 15W-40 1 litre (XFMF1L); if the handbook allows 10W-40, the Apec 10W40 SS (A2111L) lists the same ACEA A3/B4 and MB 229.1.
