HIGHTEC TRUCKSTAR LV 5W-30 is a modern low-ash heavy-duty engine oil built on HC-synthetic base oils with a lowered HTHS viscosity. This Low-SAPS formulation is engineered for the latest particulate filter systems in commercial vehicles, combining wear protection with fuel savings.

Purpose and specifications

Designed for modern Euro VI on-road diesel engines in trucks and buses fitted with exhaust aftertreatment and diesel particulate filters. It meets API FA-4, API SN + and ACEA F01, and carries OEM approvals including Volvo VDS-5, Renault RLD-5, Mack EO-S 5 and Caterpillar ECF-3, plus JASO DH-2 and Detroit Diesel 93K223.

• 20L container sized for a full commercial-engine oil change
• Reliable 5W cold-start pumpability down to around -30 C with a stable low-HTHS film at operating temperature
• Low-ash chemistry protects DPF and SCR systems while keeping pistons and ring zones clean
• Reduced internal friction and fuel-economy performance ideal for high-mileage fleets

When to use / change?

Choose this oil for late-model trucks and buses requiring an FA-4 fuel-economy grade with extended service intervals. Follow the manufacturer drain schedule, typically up to 30,000 km or longer in line with the on-board oil monitor. The oil performs across an operating range of roughly -30 C to +40 C ambient. Shelf life is approximately 5 years when stored sealed in a cool, dry place.

Frequently asked questions

Is this oil safe for engines with a particulate filter?
Yes. Its low-ash (Low-SAPS) formulation is developed specifically for DPF and SCR-equipped commercial engines.

Can I use FA-4 oil in an older engine?
Only if the manufacturer lists API FA-4 or VDS-5; the lower HTHS viscosity is intended for the latest Euro VI engines, so always check the manual.

Does it really save fuel?
The lowered HTHS viscosity reduces internal friction, helping cut fuel consumption on long-haul fleet operations.

Suitable for: Volvo FH, Renault Trucks T, Mack Anthem, DAF XF, Ford Cargo. Always verify the exact approval against your vehicle's owner manual before use.
