Purpose and Specifications

EUROLUB FORMEL 2 10W-40 is a semi-synthetic engine oil designed for gasoline and 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 a protective film at normal operating temperatures up to 100°C.

This oil meets ACEA A3/B3 and A3/B4 standards, ensuring compatibility with modern engine designs. It provides excellent anti-wear protection, reduces engine deposits, and minimizes oil evaporation losses, helping your engine stay cleaner longer.

When to Use and Replace

Replace every 10,000 to 15,000 kilometers or every 6 to 12 months, whichever comes first. Check your vehicle manufacturer's recommendations, as some modern engines allow extended intervals. Use this oil year-round in temperate climates; it handles both cold starts and highway driving without thinning or thickening excessively.

The 60-liter container is ideal for workshops, fleet maintenance, or frequent oil changes across multiple vehicles. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight; shelf life is typically 3 to 5 years when properly sealed.
