Apec C2 C3 5W30 LS Engine Oil 5 Litre (A2305L)

Description

Genuine Apec · Part no. A2305L

Apec C2 C3 5W-30 LS is a low-ash 5W-30 in a 5 litre pack that meets both ACEA C2 and C3, plus API SN/CF. It is for petrol and diesel cars with particulate filters whose handbook asks for one of those grades, and it is made for extended drain intervals and steady protection in hot and cold weather.

Good to know

• Does it need a maker approval? The approval code in the handbook (ACEA, VW 504 00, MB 229.51, Ford WSS-M2C913-D and so on) decides the oil, more than the brand or the viscosity. This oil lists ACEA C2 and C3 only, so it suits handbooks that ask for those grades without a maker code.
• Is it safe with a particulate filter? Yes. 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.
• Petrol or diesel? Both. In API grades the S codes (SL, SN, SP) are for petrol engines and the C codes (CF, CK-4) are for diesels; ILSAC grades are for petrol cars. Its API SN/CF rating covers both.

Which one?

If your handbook names a maker code too, the Mobil 1 ESP Formula P 5W30 Engine Oil 5 Litre (157292) adds approvals such as GM dexos2 and MB 229.51, and the Apec C3 5W30 LS Engine Oil 5 Litre (A2235L) lists VW 505 01 and BMW Longlife-04. Another C2/C3 5W-30 is the Valvoline All Climate C2/C3 5W30 (908803), a 1 litre bottle.
