15.10.2019

Dream oil

A modern high-tech and high-quality lubricant that meets all norms and standards, is accessible and relatively inexpensive, and there are no counterfeits - does this even happen? It happens when we are talking about Eni i-Sint 5W40 motor oil. It meets this description fully and has many advantages.

Product Description

This motor oil is produced by the Italian energy company ENI S.p.A. and is distributed throughout the world. All of the company's products exist under the names Eni or Agip, so this lubricant has a second name - Agip 5W40.

The high-quality oil base and additives are ideally combined in it, providing excellent technical characteristics. Viscosity has increased stability under various operating conditions, significantly reduces friction, promotes more economical fuel consumption and reduces the amount of harmful emissions into the atmosphere.

The oil film created by oil is particularly durable. Oil particles adhere tightly to engine parts and do not flow down when the engine is stopped or even inactive for a long time. As a result, the engine is protected from wear at the time of start-up, and in cold weather it starts without problems.

The oil provides engine protection even under extremely heavy loads and has a long replacement interval. Moreover, all properties of the product remain stable during this time, which significantly reduces the need for maintenance.

The cleaning ability of the oil is also excellent. Effectively breaking down deposits, it also disperses, that is, keeps in suspension, combustion and oxidation products, preventing them from settling and clogging the units of the unit.

The highest quality of the lubricant is confirmed by positive reviews from car owners around the world, as well as laboratory studies and tests carried out on it.

Application area

Eni Agip i-Sint 5W-40 engine oil is synthetic, it is universal and is intended for absolutely all types of gasoline and diesel engines. Suitable for any car - cars and trucks, new and used, modern and models of previous generations.

This oil is suitable for all climatic and road conditions, including the most extreme. Even under maximum loads and in the most difficult situations, this lubricant guarantees engine performance and protection.

There is also a line of Eni Professional oils, in fact it is the same oil, no different except for the design and color (white) of the label. The canister itself does not indicate tolerances, only compliance. The “Pro” line is distinguished by a lower price; it is intended for car services and service stations.

Oil viscosity chart depending on ambient temperature

What does 5W40 stand for?

Performs excellently at both low and high ambient temperatures. This is how its viscosity marking 5W40 is deciphered. The letter W specifically marks lubricants suitable for year-round use. The number 5 means that the oil viscosity will be stable down to minus 35 degrees Celsius. And the number 40 means that it is optimal up to plus 40.

Thus, you can use this lubricant all year round in almost any climatic conditions and not worry about problems with starting the engine and severe fumes.

Advantages and disadvantages

Conclusion

Eni i-Sint 5W40 motor oil is a universal motor lubricant that is suitable for both gasoline and diesel engines. Possessing high technical characteristics, it can effectively protect any motor for the entire period of use.

Eni i-Sint is a synthetic-based motor oil, the scope of which is modern engines running on diesel and gasoline. This also applies to diesel engines with particulate filters, with which this composition is fully compatible.

The presence of specially selected additives ensures that the lubricant maintains its performance characteristics, not only over a long operational period, but also under different ambient temperature conditions. This factor makes it possible to use the oil all year round with an extended replacement interval.

In addition, it guarantees ease of engine operation even under load, which in turn affects fuel efficiency. To this it is worth adding the high level of environmental friendliness of the oil composition, ensured by its synthetic components (and a minimum amount of harmful substances is emitted into the atmosphere).

Main features of Eni i-Sint oil:

— applicability for various diesel and gasoline engines;
