  • Offers good protection at both cold starts (10W) and high operating temperatures (40).

  • Suitable for temperate to warm climates and mixed driving conditions.

• Engine Compatibility:

  • Gasoline engines (including direct injection and turbocharged)

  • Diesel engines (turbocharged, including common rail and direct injection)

  • Suitable for brands like Mercedes-Benz, Volkswagen, Renault, but always check the owner’s manual for exact specifications.

• Emission System Compatibility:

  • Safe for vehicles with:

    • Catalytic converters

    • After-treatment systems

    • Diesel particulate filters (DPFs) (to a certain extent; depends on oil's SAPS level)

    • Exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) systems

• Biofuel Compatibility:

  • Can be used in engines running on biofuels or blends.

• Operating Conditions:

  • Performs well under severe driving conditions, such as:

    • Stop-and-go traffic

    • High-speed highway driving

    • Heavy loads or towing

    • Hot climates

🛠 Recommended For Drivers Who:

• Own older or high-mileage European vehicles needing a 10W-40 oil.

• Drive under harsh conditions (e.g., traffic jams, hot weather).

• Use their vehicle for mixed use (city + highway).

• Want good protection without going full synthetic.

⚠️ Caution:

While it's compatible with many systems, always verify that this oil meets the manufacturer’s specific oil standard (e.g., VW 502.00/505.00, MB 229.1, etc.) before use. Using the wrong oil can reduce performance or damage engine components over time.

  • Very wide viscosity range: Offers fast oil flow at cold start (10W) and maximum protection at high temperatures (60).

  • Ideal for high-performance and racing engines that generate a lot of heat.

  • Provides a thick, stable oil film under extreme stress and temperature.

• Engine Compatibility:

  • Suitable for high-powered racing engines

  • Compatible with:

    • Gasoline (petrol) engines

    • Diesel engines

    • Ethanol and flex-fuel engines

    • Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) engines

• Engine Technologies Supported:

  • Works with advanced engine features such as:

    • Turbochargers

    • Superchargers

    • Fuel injection systems

    • Multi-valve configurations

• Usage Conditions:

  • Designed for extreme and high-load conditions, such as:

    • Racing or track-day use

    • Aggressive driving

    • Mountainous terrain

    • High ambient temperatures

🛠 Ideal For:

• Performance enthusiasts and racers

• Track-day cars or modified vehicles requiring enhanced protection

• High-performance cars with big displacement or turbo/supercharged engines (e.g., BMW M, Mercedes-AMG, Audi RS, etc.)

⚠️ Important Considerations:

• Not recommended for standard everyday use unless the vehicle specifically requires 10W-60 oil.

• Check manufacturer specs: Not all engines are built to handle the higher viscosity at operating temperature (especially smaller, modern turbocharged engines).

• Use only if your owner’s manual recommends or permits 10W-60, or you're advised to use it under racing/extreme heat conditions.
