Late to the party. Is the off the shelf restore and protect good for euro or is this a separate oil! Thanks.

It's a separate oil. We haven't seen it in North America yet.
If it isn't available in about 1500 miles, I'm going to use the US version in my BMW N52 anyway. Many people are doing this, especially Volvo owners.

2010 Tiguan owner here that just started using it. Also a 2026 Volvo XC40 that I’ll try in a couple years.

Have you checked out Shopee or that other shopping site? Step Son says he can get the Australian made VRP in Thailand.
The xW-40 isn't technically Euro, but the HTHS should be greater than 3.5. I don't know what you drive so don't know if SAPS is an issue.

Yes I found some but they are 5W30 and made in USA. I want the 5W40 ones.

Here we go.
Made in the Netherlands. The german fineprint clearly states that this oil is made of Hydrocrack base oil. No markting Bla-Bla.

Thanks for the pictures! This is the first time we see the actual bottle of Restore and Protect 5w-40 out in the wild. Do you mind sharing the retailer you bought it from?

I'm a bit jealous Europe got it before us

I am jealous that you guys have HPL Lubricants wich we dont get.

The store is called "Motointegrator", it is one of the Bigger Geman online car parts dealers. It is well known and trusthworthy.

If you have a Mercedes and have always used 229..5 oil and don’t go 10k miles on your OCI, your engine will be spotless. I just changed out QS 5-40 Euro after 5k miles and couldn’t find any dirt in the filter pleats. I had another Mercedes with 100k with not much oil change history. When I had the valve cover gaskets changed, the valve train was like a new car.
