PERFORMANCE STANDARDS API SERVICE SP
Designed to meet the new API SP specifications. API SP standard is fully backward compatible over API SN standard and all former API standards.
Multigrade Plus 10W40 is formulated with the latest technology to provide
-
Improved engine protection
-
Low Speed Pre-Ignition protection to prevent premature hardware failure
-
Additional timing chains and valve train wear protection for engine durability
-
Improved piston cleanliness with anti-deposits and anti-sludge protection to maintain a clean engine
-
Protects vehicle emission system component for emission control systems durability
-
Strong oxidation resistance preventing premature oil thickening and ageing due to thermal stress
-
Anti-corrosion, Anti-foam properties.
The API SP lubricant provides added protection against Low Speed Pre-ignition (LSPI) for downsized direct injection turbocharged gasoline engines, additional timing chain wear protection for engine durability, improved oxidation control and piston cleanliness, and protects vehicle emission system components.
Turbocharged gasoline engines with direct injection have a risk of sporadic pre-ignition phenomena in the combustion chambers. LSPI, also known as knocking or rumble, generates very high pressure peaks in the combustion chamber that can lead to piston damages and ultimately to engine destruction. The API SP standard fully covers this LSPI requirement in order to perfectly protect direct injection turbocharged gasoline engines.
RECOMENDATIONS Drain period : according to manufacturers’ recommendations and driving patterns.
