GC ULTRA SYNTHETIC 10W-40

Description
Download TDS Sheet

GC ULTRA SYNTHETIC SAE 10W-40 API SP represents the peak of engine lubrication technology, specifically formulated to combat Low-Speed Pre-Ignition (LSPI) in modern turbocharged direct-injection (TGDI) engines operating under extreme Middle Eastern thermal loads. Delivers outstanding protection against timing chain stretch, sludge, and high-temperature oxidation.

Application Category Recommended Service Life / Drain Interval
Turbo Gasoline Direct Injection (TGDI) Vehicles 10,000 km – 12,000 km (Optimized for KSA high-speed highway conditions)
Hybrid Powertrains & Downsized Engines 300 – 350 Operating Hours (Sustained thermal resistance under desert climate)

Note: Actual drain intervals may vary depending on vehicle condition, fuel sulfur levels, severe dust exposure, and OEM engine recommendations.

  • LSPI Mitigation: Advanced chemistry prevents catastrophic Low-Speed Pre-Ignition events in modern downsized TGDI engines.
  • Timing Chain Protection: Shields timing chains against wear and stretch across extended oil service intervals.
  • Extreme Thermal Stability: Resists severe thermal breakdown during peak desert summers exceeding 50°C surface temps.
  • Sludge & Varnish Defense: Keeps turbochargers and oil passages free of restrictive carbon deposits.
