Product Description
KATMOTO K8 EURO 5W-30 is an ester fully synthetic low-SAPS engine oil developed for European gasoline and light-duty diesel vehicles requiring SAE 5W-30 and ACEA C3 high-HTHS Mid-SAPS protection. The balanced formulation is designed for turbocharged direct-injection engines and after-treatment systems such as GPF, DPF and catalytic converters, delivering strong oil-film stability, clean engine performance, oxidation resistance and reliable protection during city, highway and all-season driving.
Key Performance Features
| ACEA C3 high-HTHS protection
maintains a strong oil film for European engines requiring HTHS ≥ 3.5 mPa·s. |
Low-SAPS after-treatment compatibility
controlled ash, phosphorus and sulfur help protect GPF, DPF and catalyst systems. |
| Turbo & LSPI protection
supports modern downsized turbocharged gasoline engines under low-speed/high-load operation. |
Balanced 5W-30 viscosity
combines cold-start pumpability with stable high-temperature viscosity for daily European driving. |
| Clean engine performance
helps reduce sludge, varnish and piston deposits to maintain long-term engine cleanliness. |
European OEM-oriented formula
developed for BMW, Mercedes-Benz, VW/Audi, Porsche, Opel and Renault-type ACEA C3 applications. |
Applications & Performance Level
| Applications | European gasoline passenger cars, turbocharged direct-injection engines, light-duty diesel vehicles, hybrid-compatible European models, and vehicles fitted with GPF/DPF after-treatment systems where SAE 5W-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; GM dexos2 / OV 040 1547; Renault RN0700 / RN0710-type applications when SAE 5W-30 ACEA C3 is required. |
| Important Notice | Use only where the vehicle manufacturer specifies SAE 5W-30 and a matching performance level. “Suitable for” does not mean official approval unless an approval license or certificate is separately issued. |
