Key Benefits

• PurePlus™ Base Oil
  Virtually eliminates impurities found in crude-derived oils, forming a highly uniform molecular structure for enhanced stability and protection.

• Superior Wear Protection
  Active cleansing additives form a robust lubricating film to guard bearings, pistons and camshafts against friction and scuffing, even under high loads.

• Turbocharger Cleanliness
  Advanced detergent system prevents deposit build-up in turbochargers, maintaining boost response and fuel efficiency over time.

• Outstanding Oxidation Stability
  High resistance to thermal breakdown reduces sludge formation and viscosity loss, extending oil life and maintaining consistent performance.

• All-Season Performance
  SAE 5W-40 grade ensures rapid lubrication at low temperatures and sustained protection at high engine speeds and temperatures.
