Found this at the Local Wallmart 5w40 Super Tech European Oil after reading the specs on the back of the Jug its a ACEA Euro A3-B4 SL rated Oil.

And this is relevant to Honda's how?

brags

thinking of trying it on wifes High mileage vehicle,(286.000Km's to be exact) its a 07 murano calls for 5w30 visc
and is using almost a bottle of Oil every 6.500km"s Just wondering if the Euro added additive package would help
with the slight oil consumption.

I wouldn't do it. Not sufficient protection according to the specs nobody wants to understand

(API SL spec doesn't cover that car)


But at this point in its life you probably don't give a rats *** either, because it's drinking oil LOL

The euro package isn't going to do anything for that car.
Have you tried using high mileage 5w30?
How often do you check the oil?
Could try changing it every 5k.
Or just accept that it's burning oil and just keep an eye on it

brags

High mileage Oil is more of a gimick to use than anything else in my opinion.that Super Tech 5w40 Oil is - (not a SL) my mistake, but a API-SN Oil rated for specific Mercedes benz ,opels, Porches, and VW's

rogerscivic

Hey brags your pictures are upside down ways i see its a sn rated oil my guess is st oil should be fine

Colin42

If it's not rated for your car it's not rated for your car. You're welcome to ignore that and use it if you want

RobertD

personally, i would avoid the euro oil. i have read a few horror stories with it. most recent was this one. not the same brand, but IMHO not worth the risk




Gold2006 is a retired Shell Oil chemist and current AMSOIL Direct Jobber. he's the smart old guy i bug with oil or additive questions..

brags

Im a regular Pennzoil Pure Plus user Excellent Oil to use. by the way. that euro spec Pennz just cleaned up the sludge that was already there from a lack of not changing oil thats from owner neglect. the fact that Pennz Euro was used and did what it was suppose to doo. and cleaned it up and leaked afterword Pennz Euro has nothing to do with that. it did what it was scientifically engineered to do and thats clean and protect an engine i cant stand when people blame Quality synthetic Oils

for leaks . thats due to owners neglect, on oil changes. Pennzoil Euro shows you right there. how well that oil was at cleaning up sludge that should of not been there in the 1st place had this engine had its regular maintenance done. LOL im simply looking into or researching euro super tech as its half the price of Pennzoils Euro or any other oil to use for that matter. Cheers...!

brags

Hey there ezone

So being that the SuperTech Euro has the current rating of a (SN-GF-5) & is an A3-B4 rated Oil as shown in the Pics i posted soory, for the upside down view - its the way it came out. lol i can infact use it in a 07 murano with-out any worries.

ezone

You're gonna try it anyway.....
