Product Description
KATMOTO K9 ECO 5W-30 is an ester-enhanced full synthetic engine oil developed for hybrid vehicles, modern gasoline passenger cars and fuel-economy daily driving applications requiring SAE 5W-30. The formulation balances fuel economy with stronger high-temperature oil film, LSPI protection, timing-chain wear control and long-lasting cleanliness for mixed city and highway use.
Key Performance Features
| Balanced fuel economy and protection
suitable for engines requiring SAE 5W-30 with modern API/ILSAC performance. |
Stronger oil film
higher operating viscosity than ultra-low grades for mixed city/highway conditions. |
| LSPI protection
supports downsized GDI/TGDI gasoline engines under severe load. |
Timing-chain durability
helps control chain wear and maintain efficient valve timing. |
| Oxidation and deposit control
helps reduce sludge, varnish and piston deposits over the drain interval. |
Cold-start and year-round protection
good pumpability and stable protection across broad climates. |
Applications & Performance Level
| Applications | Hybrid vehicles, Japanese/Chinese/Korean new-generation gasoline passenger cars and fuel-economy city vehicles requiring SAE 5W-30. Suitable for many Toyota, Honda, Nissan, Mazda, Subaru, Hyundai and Kia applications. |
| Meets / Suitable For | API SQ / Resource Conserving; API SP / Resource Conserving; ILSAC GF-7A; backward-compatible direction for ILSAC GF-6A / GF-5 and API SN PLUS / SN where SAE 5W-30 is recommended. |
| Important Notice | Use only where SAE 5W-30 is recommended. For European ACEA C3/C5 or OEM-specific approvals, select the corresponding K8 EURO product. |
