Can Enviro+ be used to replace standard diesel oil?

0

No. The Enviro+ range is only for Environmentally Friendly vehicles, which specify use of a low SAPS (Sulphated Ash, Phosphorus and Sulphur) oil (i.e. ACEA C1, C2, C3, C4 and/or OEM specifications). They are required for light duty diesel engines with an exhaust DPF (diesel particulate filter). If an engine specifies only ACEA B3/B4, or API then the appropriate HPR diesel oil should be used. These oils are low in phosphorus and hence zinc (which is a good anti-wear agent). Use of low SAPS oils in engines which do not require them may cause premature wear.
