Fram 5w40 European

[Johnny248]

I haven't seen this up here, and I know that a couple of people have asked about it. This is FRAM 5w40 European Dexos 2 part #F935 I guess its made by Amalie. The sample says SAE15w40 but it is actually 5w40. The form is very small and I guess my hand writing isn't that great lol

Interesting.. I'm sure @himemsys will add it to the VOA thread. Thanks for testing!

Looks good. I've been using this (Carquest branded) in my Touareg.

Probably doesn’t meet many Euro specs. Low on phosphorus and zinc.

Is the lack of moly strange? I'm not up on the Euro specs.

This is a mid-low SAPS dexos2 approved oil. It's not approved to anything else AFAIK but that doesn't mean it is unsuitable.

No. Moly is just one means to an end.

If I recall correctly this oil has the same dexos2 license number as the Amalie Elixir Euro 5W-40.

I gave some of this to brother for his 71’ C-10 truck. Says it’s running fine on it with old P1 yellow can. I have some left as well as Fram 0w40
