The ACEA B4 performance requires an outstanding detergent/dispersant power and a better viscosity increase resistance due to soot produced by Direct Injection Diesel engines (except VAG (VW, Audi, Skoda and Seat) unit injector pump engines that require MOTUL 8100 X-CLEAN 5W-40).

The API SP standard is fully backward compatible over API SN standard and all former API standards.
API SP lubricants provide outstanding oxidation resistance, better anti-deposits protection, better engine cleanliness, anti-wear protection and enhanced performance at cold temperature for Fuel Economy savings during the whole oil life span.
Besides being backward compatible, compare to API SN and API SN Plus, the API SP standard provides higher performance and especially adds protection against LSPI for downsized direct injection turbocharged gasoline engines.

RENAULT has developed RN0700 standard for oils able to provide a high thermal stability and insure an outstanding resistance at high temperatures.
In general, RN0700 standard applies for all Naturally Aspirated Gasoline engines (except Renault Sport) of RENAULT Group (RENAULT, DACIA and SAMSUNG). The RN0700 standard applies also to all RENAULT vehicles fitted with Diesel engine 1.5 dCi without DPF < 100 HP with oil drain interval of 20 000 km or 1 year. Before use, always refer to the owner manual or handbook of the vehicle.

The MB 229.3 standard is more stringent than the 229.1 in terms of aging resistance (extended drain interval: on board computer) and Fuel Economy performance: 1.2% Fuel Economy improvement compare to a 15W-40 oil reference. The MB 229.3 standard applies for most of MERCEDES Gasoline engines and the majority of MERCEDES Diesel engines without DPF (Diesel Particulate Filter).

PSA for its B71 2300 norm requires oil to be able to endure the most severe thermal constrains in order to lubricate some of their Gasoline engines and some Diesel engines without DPF.
The reinforced sustainable synthetic base stock provides very high lubricating power which reduces frictions, decreases the volatility and ensures resistance to very high temperatures reached in modern engines.
The viscosity grade SAE 10W-40 is fully suitable for recent Gasoline and Diesel engines.
Anti-oxidation, Anti-wear, Anti-corrosion, Anti-foam properties.
