Product Description
KATMOTO K8 EURO 0W-30 is an ester fully synthetic low-SAPS engine oil developed for European gasoline and light-duty diesel engines requiring SAE 0W-30, API SQ/SP-type modern gasoline performance and ACEA C3 high-HTHS Mid-SAPS protection. Its balanced formulation is designed for turbocharged direct-injection engines, GPF/DPF after-treatment systems and all-season European vehicle operation, offering stable oil-film strength, cold-start protection, oxidation control and engine cleanliness.
Key Performance Features
| ACEA C3 high-HTHS protection
robust oil film designed for European engines requiring HTHS ≥ 3.5 mPa·s. |
Mid-SAPS after-treatment compatibility
helps protect GPF/DPF and catalyst systems with controlled ash, phosphorus and sulfur levels. |
| Turbo & LSPI protection
supports modern turbocharged direct-injection gasoline engines under low-speed/high-load operation. |
All-season 0W-30 performance
excellent cold-start flow combined with stable high-temperature viscosity for year-round use. |
| Oxidation and deposit control
helps resist oil aging, sludge and piston deposits under severe urban and highway driving. |
European OEM-oriented formula
developed for BMW, Mercedes-Benz, VW/Audi, Porsche, Opel and Renault-type 0W-30 C3 applications. |
Applications & Performance Level
| Applications | European gasoline and light-duty diesel passenger cars, turbocharged direct-injection engines, hybrid-compatible European vehicles, and vehicles fitted with GPF/DPF after-treatment systems where SAE 0W-30 ACEA C3 oil is specified. |
| Suitable For | API SQ/SP; ACEA C3; BMW Longlife-04; MB 229.31 / 229.51 / 229.52; VW 504 00 / 507 00; Porsche C30; Opel/Vauxhall OV 040 1547; Renault RN0700 / RN0710 applications when SAE 0W-30 is required. |
| Important Notice | Use only where the vehicle manufacturer specifies SAE 0W-30 and a matching performance level. Not intended for engines requiring ACEA C5/C6 0W-20, ACEA A3/B4 high-SAPS oil, or different OEM viscosity grades unless approved by the vehicle manufacturer. |
