this can's price lives on the partner shelf — the stamp below opens it

The SP III litre — a 5W-30 built around three promises: stay stable when hot, flow fast when cold, and waste less energy in between.

Checkout, delivery, returns and warranty run entirely through the partner store.

  • Resists viscosity breakdown under high temperature and stress
  • Rapid low-temperature flow cuts wear in the first cold seconds
  • Friction-modifier chemistry for economy and smoothness
  • SAE 5W-30 grade in the one-litre top-off can
  • A German-blended fluid from the Pentosin works

Lab notes

What this can is for

The listing for this can puts it plainly. High thermal stability: the oil resists breakdown under heat and stress. Cold-start protection: rapid flow at low temperatures, which is where most engine wear actually happens. Friction modifiers: smoother running and better economy.

That triangle — heat, cold, friction — is the whole job description of a modern 30-weight, and it is what the Pentosin lab tunes for rather than chasing a universal do-everything formula.
