Product Description
KATMOTO K8 EURO 0W-30 is an ester-enhanced fully synthetic Mid-SAPS engine oil engineered for modern European gasoline and light-duty diesel vehicles requiring SAE 0W-30 and ACEA C3 high-HTHS performance. Its advanced formulation combines rapid low-temperature circulation with a strong oil film at operating temperature and controlled sulfated ash, phosphorus and sulfur. It helps protect turbocharged direct-injection engines while supporting the durability of GPF, DPF, TWC and SCR after-treatment systems in severe urban, highway and all-season service.
Key Performance Features
| ACEA C3 high-HTHS protection
maintains a durable oil film with HTHS viscosity ≥ 3.5 mPa·s for demanding gasoline and light-duty diesel engines. |
Mid-SAPS after-treatment compatibility
controlled sulfated ash, phosphorus and sulfur help protect GPF, DPF, TWC and SCR systems. |
| Turbo & LSPI protection
supports modern downsized turbocharged direct-injection gasoline engines under low-speed/high-load operation. |
Excellent 0W cold-flow
promotes rapid oil circulation and faster pressure build-up during cold starts, including severe winter conditions. |
| Clean engine & oxidation control
helps resist sludge, varnish and piston deposits while maintaining viscosity throughout the drain interval. |
European OEM-oriented performance
designed for BMW, Mercedes-Benz, VW/Audi, Porsche and Opel applications that specify 0W-30 ACEA C3 oil. |
Applications & Performance Level
| Applications | Modern European gasoline and light-duty diesel passenger cars, SUVs and light vans, including turbocharged direct-injection, hybrid-compatible and GPF/DPF-equipped models, where SAE 0W-30 and ACEA C3 engine oil are specified. |
| Suitable For | API SQ / SP; ACEA C3; BMW Longlife-04; MB 229.31 / 229.51 / 229.52; VW 504 00 / 507 00; Porsche C30; GM dexos2 / Opel OV 040 1547; Chrysler MS-11106; Fiat 9.55535-S3-type applications. |
| Important Notice | Use only where the vehicle manufacturer specifies SAE 0W-30 and a matching performance level. Performance suitability does not constitute an official OEM approval unless supported by a current approval license or certificate. Follow the vehicle manufacturer’s drain interval. |
