Metal Guard Synthetic GF6 0W-20 – Synthetic Engine Oil for Hybrid Vehicles 5L

Metal Guard Synthetic GF6 0W-20 is a fully synthetic engine oil designed for modern, precisely engineered power units requiring low-viscosity oil and rapid oil flow during start-up.

The formula has been developed for high-efficiency petrol engines, turbocharged direct-injection GDI/TGDI units, hybrid vehicles and engines equipped with Start-Stop systems. The oil meets the requirements of API SP / SP (RC) and ILSAC GF-6A standards, providing engine protection, reduced internal resistance and improved fuel economy.

Key properties

Protection against LSPI

Compliance with the API SP standard means protection for direct-injection engines against LSPI, or Low-Speed Pre-Ignition. This helps protect pistons, connecting rods and other engine components from damage.

Designed for HEV and PHEV hybrid vehicles

The 0W viscosity grade ensures rapid oil flow and efficient lubrication immediately after engine start. This is particularly important in hybrid vehicles, where the combustion engine repeatedly switches on and off while driving.

Fuel economy

Low operating viscosity reduces internal engine resistance, which may contribute to lower fuel consumption and reduced CO₂ emissions. The RC designation, meaning Resource Conserving, confirms properties related to fuel efficiency and improved power unit performance.

Protection during cold starts

A pour point of -45°C allows the oil to maintain suitable fluidity at very low temperatures. A CCS dynamic viscosity of 4500 mPa·s at -35°C supports easy engine starting and rapid oil delivery to the most important engine components.

Engine and turbocharger cleanliness

Advanced detergent additives help limit the formation of deposits in the engine, turbocharger and direct fuel injection systems. The oil is compatible with both direct and indirect fuel injection systems.

Application

Metal Guard Synthetic GF6 0W-20 is intended for:

• modern petrol engines,
• engines from brands such as Toyota, Honda, Mazda, Suzuki and others,
• turbocharged GDI and TGDI engines,
• conventional HEV hybrid vehicles,
• PHEV plug-in hybrid vehicles,
• BEV electric vehicles equipped with a combustion-engine Range Extender,
• engines with Start-Stop systems,
• units with direct or indirect fuel injection,
• vehicles equipped with three-way catalytic converters TWC.

Before use, check whether the vehicle manufacturer recommends SAE 0W-20 oil meeting API SP or ILSAC GF-6A specifications.

International classifications

SAE 0W-20

A very low-viscosity oil providing efficient lubrication at low temperatures, easy starting and reduced internal engine resistance.

API SP / SP (RC)

A modern American quality standard providing protection against wear, deposits and LSPI. The RC designation, Resource Conserving, confirms fuel-saving properties.

ILSAC GF-6A

A standard developed for modern engines from American and Japanese manufacturers. It focuses on fuel economy, wear protection, engine cleanliness and reduction of LSPI.

Technical parameters

• Kinematic viscosity at 100°C: 8.20 mm²/s
• Viscosity index: 165
• CCS dynamic viscosity at -35°C: 4500 mPa·s
• Flash point: 210°C
• Pour point: -45°C
• Total Base Number TBN: 8.5 mg KOH/g
• Sulphated ash: 0.85% by weight

Compatibility with modern engine technologies

Metal Guard Synthetic GF6 0W-20 has been developed with the requirements of modern power units in mind.

It provides protection for GDI and TGDI engines against Low-Speed Pre-Ignition, supports correct operation of engines used in HEV and PHEV vehicles and is suitable for engines operating as Range Extenders in electric vehicles.

The oil may be used in engines with direct and indirect injection, while the sulphated ash content of 0.85% by weight ensures compatibility with modern exhaust gas aftertreatment systems, including three-way catalytic converters TWC.

The product does not list individual vehicle manufacturer approvals such as VW or Mercedes-Benz. It should only be used in engines for which the manufacturer specifies oil meeting API SP, API SP RC or ILSAC GF-6A in SAE 0W-20 viscosity grade.
