SN+ or SP both give good LSPI protection
compared to SN, and SP gives good
timing chain protection compared to
SN and SN+. Both are important for my
2009 MINI JCW Clubman. Currently
using up my SN+ and will change to SP
with the next oil change in 2200 miles.
But Ultra Platinum 0w40 is thicker than
Euro Platinum (SN+ or SP
depending on how recently it was
made). Changing from another SN
oil to Euro SN+ 0w40 stopped my
super knock codes.
Question about euro 0w40.
SN+ and SP versions have different
tech specs listed for viscosity, etc., but the
product number is the same for both.
Are they different formulations or the same?
