Platinum Platinum Euro 5W-40 New Formula (API SN+): https://shell-livedocs.com/data/published/en/89db797b-d00c-4b95-8e28-cb5ffd24705f.pdf
OEM Approvals: MB 229.5, BMW LL-01, Porsche A40, VW 502.00/505.00, Chrysler MS-10725/MS-12991, Fiat 9.55535.Z2
Here are my questions:
1) I am currently using Mobil 1 0W-40 for my customers who require a 229.5 approved oil. Is there any reason to switch to either of the Pennzoil Platinum Euro Oils?
2) Is there any advantage (or disadvantage) to using the Platinum Euro 0W-40 instead of the 5W-40? It is a lot easier for me to obtain the 0W-40.
3) Any idea on why Platinum Euro 0W-40 is unable to obtain Porsche A40 approval?
