Why Rymax Posidon C3 LL 5W-30
DPF & Catalyst Protection
Mid-SAPS formulation contains reduced levels of phosphorus, sulphur and sulphated ash — the compounds responsible for particulate filter and catalytic converter contamination in modern VAG and Mercedes-Benz engines.
VW 504.00 / 507.00 Compliance
Meets the demanding VW longlife specifications covering extended drain intervals up to 30,000 km (petrol) and 50,000 km (diesel) on the VAG Longlife Service programme.
Extended Drain Intervals
Full synthetic long-life formulation provides excellent oxidation stability and wear protection across extended drain intervals — reducing maintenance frequency and total lubrication cost.
MB 229.51 & BMW LL-04
Also meets Mercedes-Benz 229.51 and BMW Longlife-04 — a genuine multi-OEM compliant C3 LL oil for VAG, Mercedes-Benz and BMW vehicles specifying a mid-SAPS 5W-30.
Full Synthetic Wear Protection
Premium fully synthetic base stocks deliver outstanding engine cleanliness, anti-wear performance and thermal stability across the extended drain interval.
Turbocharger Compatible
Suitable for naturally aspirated and turbocharged petrol and diesel engines — including TFSI, TDI and CDI engines in modern VAG and Mercedes-Benz vehicles.
