Italian Selenia (Fiat) race oils

[Wolf_Tm250]

No one ever used or heard anything about these oils ?

Selenia Abarth 10w50:
15 C. density = g/cm3 0.850
@ 100 C. = cSt 17.5
VI = 170
TBN = 7.4

Selenia Racing 10w60 (made by Petronas):
15 C. density = g/cm3 0.870
@ 100 C. = cSt 23
VI = 150
TBN = 8.6

Selenia Sport 5w40 (made by Petronas):
15 C. density = g/cm3 0.850
@ 100 C. = cSt 14.6
VI = 165
TBN = 11

Selenia Sport Pure Race 5w20 (made by Petronas):
15 C. density = g/cm3 0.890
@ 100 C. = cSt 8.5
VI = 160

Selenia Digitech 0W30 (made by Petronas):
15 C. density = g/cm3 0.855
@ 100 C. = cSt 11.5
VI = 170
TBN = 10

Selenia StAR 5w40 (made by Petronas):
15 C. density = g/cm3 0.855
@ 100 C. = cSt 15.7
VI = 170
TBN = 10



The StAR 5w40 seems very interesting to me:
it has a very high viscosity @ 100 C. for a 5w40 oil.
Unfortunately I didn't found any HTHS value...

Hi Wolf, i have used the star 5W40 and i am quite pleased with it. It gave me less wear than motul 8100 5W40 and i am planning to run it again for the winter.

Hi yannis,
sounds interesting!
In which engine do you use it?
How did you measure the wear?

 

[yannis]

a)In a chevrolet matiz.
b)I just saw the metalls in my magnetic oil drain plug.
The star had the 1/3 of motul and with agip 2000 it is almost perfect.

This oil is quite popular for Italian cars. It has been around a long time and still used. It is usually a dealer only product and very expensive. It has no API, ACEA rating so I thought it should have a good add pack. The limited info above does not look great though.

Holy thread revival, Batman!

But since it's here; is this company (and Petronas) a division of Agip, or are they all separate and distinct entities?

It's not a division of Agip. Selenia was owned by Fiat a number of years ago, sold on a few times and now owned by Petronas. I believe operations are still based in Turin, Italy.
