Carlube Triple R 5W30 Fully Synthetic 4L

Product Information

Later specification oils are usually, but not always, suitable for older cars, while older specification oils shouldn’t be used in newer cars. A drop in oil level can do more damage in a modern engine with a smaller sump – oil spends less 'recovery time' in the sump cooling down and hotter oil will break down and oxidise more rapidly leading to increased wear. Especially suitable for vehicles fitted with after-treatment devices such as DPFs, EGR or SCR systems. Carlube Triple R 5W-30 R-Tec 20 is a fully synthetic, mid-SAPS engine oil formulated to provide optimum durability for the latest generation of petrol and diesel engines. Many car manufacturers develop their own engine oil specifications. Most notable are Volkswagen and Mercedes-Benz, but BMW, GM, Porsche, PSA and others also have their own.

Carlube is the largest independent oil manufacturer in the UK and the biggest automotive brand behind British sporting events. With Tetrosyl’s extensive range of engine oils, lubricants and car care products, it can meet the ever changing demands of modern vehicles. and 5W-40 are 2 common types of engine oil that you might come across. The '5' refers to the viscosity in cold weather and the 'W' stands for 'winter'. The '30' or '40' refers to the oil flow at higher engine temperatures. '30' is often for newer petrol engines, while '40' is often for older or diesel engines.

Extended service intervals, smaller capacity sumps, turbo chargers and thinner, synthetic oils can all add up to higher oil usage. Fully synthetic engine oils offer increased engine protection and longer engine life, reduced friction and enhanced lubrication during extreme chilly weather starts and increased fuel economy. Modern car engines need oils that are really durable, and last for thousands of miles between services. Modern oils protect against corrosion and sludge formation, and contain detergent additives to keep the engine clean. The ACEA is the acronym (in French) for the European Automobile Manufacturers' Association. It replaced the earlier CCMC in 1996. The association sets certain standards for engine oils. Carlube Triple R - The heartbeat of your engine Carlube are also very proud to announce the sponsorship of Pameo Racing and rider Sam West in the British Superbike Championship, the first of its kind for Tetrosyl. The technical team at Carlube have worked closely with the Superbike Championship team to ensure the Kawasaki ZX10R performs at its best with the use of Carlube Engine Oil.

The manufacturer may also give an acceptable equivalent ACEA or API specification, though this might be for 'emergency top-up only'. If your car's handbook quotes the manufacturer's own specification, you must look for this on the oil container.

Not all engines are the same, so it shouldn't be a surprise that oils aren't the same either. The specification is another way that engine oils differ. Triple R 5W-30 R-Tec 20 is a fully synthetic engine oil developed with the very latest synthetic technology for today's modern vehicle requirements.
