Purpose and Specifications

EUROLUB FORMEL 2 10W-40 is a semi-synthetic engine oil designed for gasoline and light diesel engines in passenger cars and light commercial vehicles. The 10W-40 viscosity grade means it flows easily in cold winter conditions (down to around -20°C) while maintaining protective thickness at normal engine operating temperatures (up to 100°C).

This oil meets major quality standards including ACEA A3/B3 and A3/B4 (European automotive standards) and API SL and API CF (American Petroleum Institute ratings). It is approved for use in BMW Longlife-98, Mercedes-Benz 229.1, and Volkswagen 501 01 engines, making it suitable for most European vehicle brands.

When to Use and Replace

Use EUROLUB FORMEL 2 10W-40 for routine oil changes in compatible gasoline and light diesel engines. Replace every 10,000 to 15,000 kilometers or every 12 months, whichever comes first. In severe driving conditions (frequent short trips, towing, or dusty environments), replace more frequently—every 8,000 to 10,000 kilometers.

This oil performs well in moderate climates and is ideal for European vehicles with standard maintenance schedules. Store in a cool, dry place; unopened containers remain usable for approximately 3 to 5 years.

Frequently Asked Questions

• Is this oil suitable for my car? Check your vehicle's owner manual for the recommended viscosity grade and approval standards. If your manual specifies 10W-40 and approves ACEA A3/B3, A3/B4, API SL, or API CF, this oil is compatible.
• Can I mix this oil with other brands? While not recommended, mixing oils of the same viscosity grade and quality standard is acceptable in emergencies. However, use the same brand and grade for your next scheduled oil change.
• What does semi-synthetic mean? Semi-synthetic oil blends mineral and synthetic base oils, offering better protection and longer intervals than mineral oil while costing less than fully synthetic oil.
