API SL/SJ/CF
ACEA A3,B3,B4
BMW Longlife-98

MB 229.1 / 229.3
VW 502 00, 505 00
Porche Approved
ISLAC GF-3
Superior European formula now blended in the USA
Blended in USA from domestic and imported components.
Castrol has been using sodium as an additive in their petroleum-based products like the
GTX oil. This is the first time we have seen sodium in one of their synthetics although it is a very low
amount. The TBN for this virgin oil was 10.8 (1.0 is considered low) which measures the amount of
active additive remaining in the oil. The viscosity measured in the correct range for a 5W/40 product.
We think this oil should be suitable for your engine's needs.
