VOLVO OIL 21363430 GASOLINE 5W40 5L

Function and technical context

This 5W40 motor oil for petrol engines acts as a high-performance synthetic lubricant within the lubrication system, reducing friction between the moving components of the engine and forming a stable protective film both at cold starts and under high thermal load. It works directly in the lubrication circuit, protecting the crankshaft, camshaft, pistons and bearings against accelerated wear. Its 5W40 multigrade viscosity guarantees immediate fluidity at start-up and maintenance of oil pressure in demanding working conditions, characteristics that are especially relevant in marine engines that operate at sustained speeds during long days at sea. Insufficient lubrication or inadequate oil can cause premature wear of internal components, loss of compression, localized overheating and, in extreme cases, engine seizure.
