Divinol Multilight 10W-40 (Art-Nr. 49610) is a modern, partly synthetic multipurpose engine oil. Thanks to special hydrocracked base oils it reduces sludge formation, while high alkaline reserves (TBN 9 mgKOH/g) provide good corrosion protection. The updated formulation saves fuel and lowers oil consumption, making it a true all-season, all-round oil. It is intended for all petrol (Otto) and diesel engines, with or without turbocharger, in passenger cars. It is also suitable for motorcycles meeting the JASO MA standard and for LPG/CNG engines, always in line with the vehicle manufacturer's instructions. Divinol Multilight 10W-40 carries the MB-Approval 229.1 and meets API SN/CF, ACEA A3/B3 and JASO MA, as well as the performance requirements of VW 505.00/502.00, PSA B71 2294 and Renault RN 0700; Divinol also recommends it where MB 229.3 is required. The Romanian distributor additionally lists VW 505.00/501.01, FIAT 9.55535-G2 and ACEA A3-08/B4-08.
Petrol engine oil, API SN performance level
API's service category for spark-ignition engines. Current category.Source
Diesel engine oil, API CF performance level
API's service category for indirect-injection diesel engines, tolerant of higher-sulphur fuel. An earlier category in the API service classification, written for the engines of its era; it still appears on datasheets alongside the current categories.Source
ACEA A3/B3 oil sequence
ACEA's sequence for petrol and light-duty diesel engines. A full-SAPS level on a fixed drain interval. No longer on ACEA's current list, but still specified by many engines on the road.Source
JASO MA — motorcycle wet-clutch oil
The Japanese standard for motorcycle oils with a wet clutch: friction must stay high enough that the clutch does not slip, unlike in passenger-car oils.
Mercedes-Benz passenger-car engine oil, entry level
An early Mercedes-Benz approval for petrol and diesel passenger-car engine oils on a standard (non-extended) service interval, the base level below 229.3 and 229.5.
VW 505 00 — diesel engine oil
VW's standard for passenger-car diesel engine oils without unit-injector injection, on a fixed drain interval.
VW petrol engine oil, obsolete
VW's old standard for petrol engine oils on a fixed drain interval. Withdrawn, but still called for by older engines in the group.Source
PSA B71 2294 — engine oil approval
The PSA (Peugeot–Citroën, today Stellantis) engine oil approval for its own passenger cars, at the ACEA level and viscosity grade PSA specifies.Source
Renault RN0700 — passenger-car engine oil
Renault's engine oil approval for petrol cars and for diesel engines without a particulate filter.
FCA 9.55535-G2 — petrol engine oil
A fluid specification from the FCA (formerly Fiat) 9.55535 series; the G2 suffix identifies this performance level and viscosity class, used at the level the vehicle maker specifies.Source
ACEA A3/B4 oil sequence
ACEA's sequence for petrol and light-duty diesel engines.Source
Mercedes-Benz Longlife passenger-car engine oil
Mercedes-Benz's approval for full-SAPS, extended-drain engine oils in petrol and diesel passenger cars, roughly at the ACEA A3/B4 performance level.
VW 502 00 — petrol engine oil
VW's standard for petrol engine oils on a fixed drain interval, at full-SAPS level. Not for engines with a particulate filter.
