0W-30 Longlife C3 oil for modern passenger cars with DPF, turbo and extended service intervals across many European applications.
0W-30 Super LF-III BASIC is a modern Longlife oil for passenger cars with exhaust aftertreatment, turbocharging and extended service intervals. The combination of 0W-30 viscosity and low-ash C3 formulation makes it especially suitable for current European vehicles with DPF.
Compared to more conventional 5W-30 solutions, this oil focuses more on excellent cold-start performance without compromising Longlife capability and filter protection. This is particularly relevant for drivers who want strong start-up performance at low temperatures combined with modern C3 technology.
For suitable BMW, Mercedes, Porsche and VW-related applications, this product is a clear and technically sound Longlife solution.
Suitable for modern gasoline and diesel engines with DPF and turbo where ACEA C3 and corresponding BMW, Mercedes, Porsche or VW approvals are required. Particularly relevant for Longlife vehicles with a 0W-30 focus.
When is 0W-30 Super LF-III BASIC a good choice?
When a modern Longlife C3 oil with excellent cold-start performance and suitable OEM approvals is required.
Is it suitable for DPF-equipped vehicles?
Yes. The low-ash C3 formulation is specifically designed for that purpose.
Why choose 0W-30 instead of 5W-30?
Mainly due to improved low-temperature performance, provided the vehicle allows this viscosity.
