FUCHS TITAN Supersyn LONGLIFE SAE 5W-40

[OVERKILL]

Interesting, the oil that Fuchs shows for my car is this one:

Titan GT1 XTL 5w-40

The Titan GT1 with XTL technology 5w-40

 

[OVERKILL]

BTW, the SM version of this oil (Non-XTL) had a flash point of 250C!

THe SN version, which is XTL is 230C.....

So they're recommending an LL-04 oil?

Not what BMW would have recommended...

 

[OVERKILL]

Yeah, I thought it was weird...

Here's the link to the Oil recommendation chart

Fuchs recommended this for my Fiat too. I was surprised to find it at a local and its the cheapest euro 5w40 I have found. Does anyone have a PDS?

 

[dparm]

Fuchs is slow to respond, but they will send you a PDS if you wait -- they'll also give you the unpublished data if you ask, such as HTHS, NOACK, CCS/MRV, etc.

Fuchs is excellent oil product...

Anybody have any experience with this oil? They require you e-mail them for a PDS, so that's what I've done.


Would LOVE to get my hands on this stuff. If you find a source, PLEASE let me know...I think for us in NA it is a sleeper.

There's a Canadian distributor not all that far from me. There's a number of them in the US. Seems their industrial lubes are popular here.

Just fire 'em off an e-mail, that's what I did. I may order some in the next little bit. Right now I'm running PU 5w-40.

While I've never tried to get this specific oil in the US, the distributors here won't order things like that unless you want some huge amount like several cases or a drum.

I sent them an email a few days ago...so far, crickets

Oh no! An "oil tanker" with the Fuchs logo on the side just pulled up in front of the house. You don't suppose when I pretended to order 50 bbls I actually hit the order button do you? I would settle for 12-18 litres if I could just get my hands on some.

I just received 20 L of Fuchs Titan SuperSyn 5W-40. It will be going into my Miata's. I met the new Florida distributor on an airplane. The price point was a bit higher than the M1 0W-40 that I have in the Miata's now.

I do not understand what is all the big talk about this oil? I used it in Europe several times, just an average oil.
