MidShire Synth-X 5W-30

Product Overview

MidShire Synth-X 5W-30 is a fully synthetic passenger car motor oil (PCMO) formulated to meet the requirements of ACEA C3 and API SN. It is a low-SAPS (low Sulphated Ash, Phosphorus, Sulphur) product, designed to be compatible with diesel particulate filters, catalytic converters, and other exhaust aftertreatment devices fitted to modern petrol and diesel engines.

The fully synthetic base stock provides excellent low-temperature fluidity, good high-temperature film strength, and strong oxidation resistance to support extended drain intervals where permitted by the vehicle manufacturer.

Typical Applications

Modern petrol and diesel passenger cars requiring ACEA C3 specification
Vehicles fitted with diesel particulate filters (DPF)
Vehicles fitted with catalytic converters and exhaust gas recirculation (EGR)
Turbocharged petrol direct injection (TPGI / TGDI) engines
Light commercial vehicles where 5W-30 is specified
Fleet vehicles on extended drain programmes (where OEM approved)

Key Features & Benefits

Fully synthetic base — superior oxidation stability and shear stability
Low-SAPS formulation — helps protect DPF and aftertreatment systems
Excellent cold-start performance — fast oil circulation at low temperatures
Strong HTHS viscosity — maintains oil film under high temperature and shear
Fuel economy contribution — low viscosity reduces internal engine drag
Good soot dispersancy — keeps engine internals clean in diesel applications
Supports extended drain intervals where OEM guidance permits
