| Series Positioning | K8 – Sport & European Performance | Application | European Vehicles / GPF & DPF Systems |
KATMOTO K8 SPORT 0W-40 is an ester-enhanced fully synthetic Mid-SAPS engine oil engineered for high-performance European gasoline and light-duty diesel vehicles requiring SAE 0W-40 and ACEA C3 high-HTHS performance. Its advanced formulation combines rapid lubrication in severe cold with robust oil-film strength at sustained high temperature and controlled sulfated ash, phosphorus and sulfur. It helps protect turbocharged direct-injection engines while supporting the durability and efficiency of GPF, DPF, TWC and SCR after-treatment systems under demanding urban, motorway and all-season operation.
| ACEA C3 high-HTHS protection Maintains a durable oil film with HTHS viscosity above 3.5 mPa·s for demanding European engines. |
Mid-SAPS after-treatment compatibility Controlled ash, phosphorus and sulfur help protect GPF, DPF, TWC and SCR systems. |
| API SQ turbo and LSPI protection Supports wear, oxidation, deposit and LSPI control in modern turbocharged direct-injection gasoline engines. |
Wide-temperature 0W-40 performance Delivers rapid cold-start lubrication and strong high-temperature oil-film strength. |
| Clean engine and oxidation control Helps resist sludge, varnish, piston deposits and viscosity increase under severe operating conditions. |
European OEM-oriented performance Designed for relevant Mercedes-Benz, Volkswagen/Audi, Porsche, Opel/GM and Fiat performance requirements. |
| Applications | High-performance European gasoline and light-duty diesel passenger cars, SUVs and light vans, including turbocharged direct-injection and GPF/DPF-equipped models, where SAE 0W-40 and ACEA C3 engine oil are specified. |
| Suitable For | API SQ / SP; ACEA C3-23; MB 229.31 / 229.51 / 229.52; VW 511 00; Porsche C40; GM dexos2; Fiat 9.55535-S2-type applications. |
| Important Notice | Use only where the vehicle manufacturer specifies SAE 0W-40 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. |
