Apec C2 C3 5W30 LS Engine Oil 1 Litre (A2301L)

Description

Genuine Apec · Part no. A2301L

Apec C2 C3 5W30 LS (A2301L) is a 1 litre bottle of low-ash 5W-30 that meets both ACEA C2 and C3, plus API SN/CF. It is a general top-up for petrol and diesel engines with exhaust after-treatment where the handbook asks only for one of those ACEA grades, not a car maker's own code.

Good to know

• Does meeting C3 make it right for my VW, BMW or Mercedes? Not by itself. If the handbook names a maker code such as VW 504 00, BMW Longlife-04 or MB 229.51, choose an oil that lists that code; this bottle lists ACEA and API grades only.
• What is the difference between C2 and C3? Both are low-ash grades for particulate filters; C3 oils keep a thicker film at high temperature, while C2 is the fuel-economy version. Meeting both lets one oil serve either requirement.
• What about long service intervals? The maker says it suits extended drains, but follow the interval in your service schedule, which is set for your engine.

Which one?

Where the handbook names maker codes, the Apec C3 5W30 LS (A2231L) lists BMW Longlife-04, MB 229.51 and VW 505 00 / 505 01, and the Apec XTR 5W30 LS (A2251L) lists VW 504 00 / 507 00.
