Description
Armax fully synthetic SN 5W20 is the ultimate full synthetic lubricant for engine protection and fuel efficiency in new and older petrol engines. It meets and exceeds the latest API SN specification, has ILSAC GF-5 fuel efficiency performance and is able to be used for older API petrol specifications. It has been particularly developed for vehicles requiring Ford specifications WSS-M2C930-A, WSS-M2C945-A, and Chrysler MS-6395T and can also be recommended for many later model Subaru vehicles.
Armax fully synthetic SN 5W20 is suitable for most types of four-stroke petrol engines operating under moderate, severe, or varied operating conditions, such as low-temperature start-up, stop and- go driving, and high-temperature motorway driving.
BENEFITS & FEATURES
Armax fully synthetic SN 5W20 is designed to meet the challenges to the lubricating systems of modern engines. In recent years manufacturers have developed smaller, higher output engines that also need to meet stricter fuel economy limits. Although smaller engines decrease vehicle weight and improve fuel economy, they also need better lubricants due to:
- Increased heat output which accelerates acid formation, nitration, and formation of deposits and sludge. These conditions degrade the oil and rapidly increase oil viscosity and decrease fuel economy.
- Increased engine pressures and speed which make it harder for the oil to maintain a lubricant film to prevent metal on metal contact. This metal on metal contact accelerates valve train wear.
Benefits and features of Armax fully synthetic SN 5W20 include:
- Full Synthetic Base Oils: blended from high-quality synthetic base oils; producing extended life for the lubricant and providing excellent cold start-up protection
- Oxidation/Corrosion Resistance: meets and betters the API SN oxidation requirements in the TEOST MHT Deposit Formation test, and the corrosion requirements in the Sequence VIII Bearing Weight Loss test, and the Sequence VG Engine Sludge and Oil Screen Clogging test.
- Excellent Cam Wear Protection: exceeds API SN Sequence IVA Average Cam Wear Limit by a huge margin thus promoting longer engine life (results of less than 20μm cam wear; as compared to API SN limit of maximum 90μm cam wear).
- Excellent Emission Control: Armax fully synthetic SN 5W20 meets the stricter modern emissions standards and provides extended emissions system durability.
- Catalytic Converter Protection: One of the new tests for the API SN Resource Conserving performance level is the measurement of the % weight of phosphorusretained in the engine oil (using the Sequence IIIGB test). In previous engine oil specifications, no mention was made of the phosphorus leaching out of the engine oil, poisoning and clogging the catalytic converters in the vehicle exhaust system. API SN measures and puts limits on this leeching, thus controlling catalyst poisoning and exhaust system degradation.
- Fuel Efficiency: Armax fully synthetic SN 5W20 meets the ILSAC GF-5 as well as the API SN performance requirements, having the technology for better handling of internal engine friction, translating into better fuel economy and reduced maintenance costs.
- Performance in the Sequence VID test for Improved Fuel Efficiency of greater than 2.6% and Sequence IIIG Oil Thickening and Cam Lifter Wear support these claims.
