Frequently asked questions

Why is it called a rationalisation oil?

Yes. The 40 grade maintains a strong oil film that often suits higher-mileage engines and heavier loads.

Does it protect the particle filter?
Yes, the ACEA C3 low-SAPS formulation is compatible with petrol and diesel particle filters.
