ACEA C2

ACEA C2 is a European standard that defines low‑SAPS engine oils with minimal content of sulfate, phosphorus and barium compounds, providing low levels of deposits and smoke. The specification requires high oxidation resistance, wear protection and viscosity retention over a wide temperature range, making it suitable for modern gasoline engines with direct injection (GDI) and diesel engines equipped with exhaust after‑treatment systems (DPF, SCR). Oils that meet ACEA C2 are suitable for passenger cars and light commercial vehicles, including models from VW, BMW, Mercedes, Peugeot, Citroën and others, where manufacturers require low nitrogen compound content. When selecting a product on xenum.ua you can rely on compatibility with DPF and the catalyst, as well as the ability to safely transition to the newer ACEA C3 standard, which maintains low SAPS while increasing wear protection.
