Oil Rosneft 5w40 synthetic reviews

The target audience of this type of oil is domestic cars and inexpensive foreign cars. And yet the reviews about it are more than good. Most car owners were satisfied after use. The absence of soot, good fluidity even in severe frosts, an affordable price and the absence of counterfeits (you need to buy at official gas stations) make this oil very competitive on the Russian market.

Purpose

Rosneft Magnum Ultratek 5W-40 is used in gasoline and diesel engines of passenger cars, as well as LCVs (light-duty vehicles). We are talking about gasoline and diesel engines, including naturally aspirated and turbocharged internal combustion engines with catalytic converters or particulate filters. These can also be high-tech, economical engines running on biofuel, natural gas, etc. The presence of various approvals from well-known automakers confirms the high popularity of the oil among owners of modern and used cars. In addition, partial compatibility with older engines that do not have problems with oil leaks caused by microcracks and weakened seals is also declared.

Oil marked 5W-40 is universal, suitable for most climate zones around the world. Thus, this marking positions the oil as an all-season lubricant that retains its viscosity characteristics at any time of the year. In particular, this is indicated by the letter W and the number 5, which allow driving at temperatures down to minus 30 degrees Celsius. Next comes the number 40, which is tolerance for hot temperatures up to plus 40 degrees.

Classification

SAE is an international quality standard developed by the US Association of Automotive Engineers. Includes three seasonal categories:

1. Winter - marked as W (Winter) and contains six viscosity levels, starting from 0W and ending with 25W
2. Summer - is marked in the form of viscosity numbers, of which there are only five - from 20 to 60.
3. All-season - has Russian GOST and an international double symbol, for example, 15W-30.

API is a standard of the US Petroleum Institute, widely used in world practice. Includes two large categories:

1. Service – recommended for passenger cars and commercial vehicles with four-stroke gasoline engines. In total, there are ten classes presented here, which are marked in the form of a letter of the Latin alphabet. The most perfect oil is the one with the letter located at the end of the alphabet. In this case, this is the SL class for multi-valve turbocharged gasoline engines.
2. Commercial - required for high-speed diesel installations found in large trucks, agricultural machinery and road construction vehicles. This category presents eleven classes that have a similar designation principle as Service. In this case, the most advanced oil is CI-4 class fluid, intended for high-speed diesel engines.

Comparison of Rosneft Magnum Ultratec 5W40 and Lukoil Genesis Armortech 5W40 oils at -25 degrees freezing

Universal oils according to API have a double marking with a fraction - for example, SG/CD. A valid certificate allows you to verify compliance with the API, that is, the presence of the API on the canister will not be enough.

ILSAC

ILSAC is a standard of the Association of Japanese and American Engineers, developed specifically for their countries. Includes five classes in the form of GF, but development of the sixth generation GF is already underway. Below is a description of each class:

1. GF-1 – considered obsolete. corresponds to the API SH classification and has the following viscosity classes: 10W-XX, 0W-XX, 5W-XX, where instead of XX there should be a value from 30 to 60.
2. GF-2 - has been in force since 1996, is compatible with the API SJ classification and has the following viscosity classes: 0W-20, 5W-20, as well as classes from GF-1.
3. GF-3 – in force since 2001. Compatible with API SL classification, has improved antioxidant and anti-wear characteristics (unlike GF-2 and API SJ). Less evaporation and energy-saving properties (compared to similar classes ILSAC CF-3 and API SL).
4. GF-4 - entered into force in 2004, complies with API SM class and is endowed with energy-saving characteristics. Compatible with viscosity grades 0W-20, 5W-20, 10W-30, as well as 5W-30 and 0W-30. Compared to GF-3, it is more resistant to oxidation and has improved cleaning properties. Less prone to deposit formation and compatible with catalytic converters, which improve the environmental friendliness of modern gasoline engines.
5. GF-5 - has been in operation since 2010, complies with the API SM class and has strict requirements for fuel efficiency. Compatible with catalytic systems and elastomers. It evaporates less and has cleaning properties, and is also resistant to deposits. Protects turbocharging systems from wear products.

Based on the listed classes, we highlight the key features of the ILSAC standard compared to other classes:

1. Pronounced complex of energy-saving properties
2. Improved degree of impact of anti-wear properties on engine parts to avoid overheating and premature wear
3. Increased compatibility with catalytic systems, which are necessary for modern gasoline internal combustion engines to improve environmental friendliness.

ACEA is a standard of the Association of European Automobile Manufacturers, which in terms of demand is at the level of the above classes. Consists of the following categories:

• A/B – recommended for passenger cars and commercial vehicles with diesel and gasoline engines. This category includes the following designations:
• A1/B1 – marking for motor oils with low-viscosity and energy-saving characteristics, as well as low high-temperature viscosity. Recommended for petrol and diesel vehicles (cars and LCVs)
• A3/B3 – marking for motor oils with long service intervals, adaptation to increased loads and the possibility of year-round operation. Recommended for the most technologically advanced petrol and diesel vehicles (passenger cars and LCVs)
• A3/B4 – marking for motor oils with strict requirements for piston cleanliness. Recommended for gasoline and diesel engines with direct fuel injection
• A5/B5 – marking for motor oils with a long service interval, low high-temperature viscosity and energy-saving properties. Recommended for gasoline and diesel internal combustion engines of passenger cars and LCV classes.
• C - recommended for gasoline and diesel engines that meet high requirements for environmental friendliness and fuel economy.
• E - suitable for diesel trucks adapted to increased loads.

Next, let's pay attention to the specifications and tolerances for synthetic oil Rosneft Magnum Ultratek 5W-40:

• API SN/CF;
• ACEA A3/B4;
• A3/B3;
• PJSC AvtoVAZ
• MB 229.3/229.1/226.5
• Volkswagen 502.00/505.00
• Renault RN 0700/0710
• General Motors LL-A/B-025
• Fiat 9.55535-H2/M2/N2
• Peugeot-Citroen B71 2294.

How to determine the original from a fake

• The fakeness of the oil can be judged by its cost, especially if it is underestimated by 10-20% compared to the recommended one . This oil is often found in small limited liability stores, which can make the injured customer at fault. In large stores, fake oil will cost the same as the original product. And yet, in such large chains, all responsibility falls on the unscrupulous seller, so the likelihood of counterfeit oil in such a store is minimal. However, counterfeits also happen; in such cases, scammers try not to arouse suspicion by selling a fake at the price of the original.
• The original plastic packaging (less often metal) has inclusions and can shimmer in the light, like metallic car paint. The surface of such a canister is smooth, with smooth edges and without casting defects (sinks, burrs, etc.). Fake oil will be revealed by non-uniform plastic containers that are so translucent that you can see where the two halves of the canister are welded together. It is possible that there is an unpleasant odor, as well as uneven markings on the oil level scale or colored marks instead of casting.
• Next, let's pay attention to the label , which is a source of information about the product, as well as an important element of protection against counterfeiting. You can see certain text on the label - naturally, it should be clear and without spelling errors. The original label is applied smoothly and without bubbles, and it is not so easy to pry off such a label with a fingernail. In addition, a fake can be identified by the quality of the printing: for example, the images of such a sticker are blurry, faded and uniform, without gradients or color transitions.
• The date of manufacture of the canister is indicated on the bottom of the package. It should be earlier than the date of manufacture of the oil itself. We also pay attention to the date stamp, which should not have scuffs or other flaws. Information about the batch number and expiration date is also decisive - only the original product has it.

Signs of fake oil after the first fill (during operation):

1. Problems with starting the engine due to freezing of the oil, which can acquire a jelly-like state even at not very low temperatures. Such a lubricant is not capable of lubricating and cooling parts, which as a result overheat, experience dry friction and are subject to increased wear. In the end, there is a high probability of parts melting and major overhaul of the internal combustion engine.
2. Excessive oil consumption and the need for constant topping up are typical problems that arise after pouring a counterfeit base. Such a liquid has high carbon dioxide and volatility, and is also prone to the formation of deposits that accumulate in the engine oil passages. Increased carbon emissions reduce the service life of the engine. It should be remembered that counterfeit oil does not correspond to any of the parameters indicated on the product label.

Advantages

1. A wide range of solubilizing and dispersing characteristics that have a beneficial effect on interacting components, which are under maximum protection from deposits, overheating and premature wear
2. Pronounced thermal and thermal-oxidizing ability, ensuring uninterrupted cooling of particularly hot pistons and piston rings
3. Possibility of starting in cold conditions, which ensures effective oil pumping at the same high level as when starting in hot weather
4. No foam when cold or hot
5. Low carbon dioxide and low volatility
6. Compatible with seals of modern and older engines of passenger cars and commercial vehicles
7. Protection against oxidative processes and hazardous chemical elements (soot, chlorine, sulfur, etc.)
8. No harm to metal components of the internal combustion engine due to high anti-corrosion protection.

What does the manufacturer promise?

According to the manufacturer, the lubricating fluid guarantees the following benefits:

• Preventing mechanical wear of transmission gear elements.
• Protection of main components and mechanisms from corrosive changes.
• Resistant to foaming and oxidation.
• Neutrality towards sealing elements and lines, which prevents the possibility of their premature wear.

Hi all. I haven't been on the forum for a very long time. Topic for discussion: new oil Rosneft Magnum 10w40 Klintek, synthetic, retail price for 5 liters in Transbaikalia is 885 rubles. Who poured? Do you have experience using it, how is it even possible for 10w40 to be synthetic? Or have Rosneft marketers gone crazy in Russia and no longer know how to sell their oil? Or maybe it’s normal oil, and you can take it and be happy? We express, share our opinions and experiences.

Hi all. I haven't been on the forum for a very long time. Topic for discussion: new oil Rosneft Magnum 10w40 Klintek, synthetic, retail price for 5 liters in Transbaikalia is 885 rubles. Who poured? Do you have experience using it, how is it even possible for 10w40 to be synthetic? Or have Rosneft marketers gone crazy in Russia and no longer know how to sell their oil? Or maybe it’s normal oil, and you can take it and be happy? We express, share our opinions and experiences.

Why are you surprised that 10w40 is synthetic? (Marketers have nothing to do with it; our consumers absolutely don’t want to know anything about their car and operating materials for their car)

Learn what the numbers and letters 10w40 or 5w40, etc. mean. - because these numbers with letters do not indicate that it is synthetic or mineral water or semi-synthetic.

First, read the specification, compare the physical and chemical characteristics of the oils (select several brands and compare); all data on the oil is available on the Internet.

The oil itself is normal, but operating conditions are another issue and no less important.

November 30, 2020, 11:21 #3

I understand you vadim203, I read the properties, I understand everything, Rosneft describes their products as being better than European manufacturers, they say, in all respects! but what about the price? 855 rubles for 5 liters, you probably need to think about quality, if the average price for 4 liters from other manufacturers is 1500 and above, or maybe the brand is simply not popular in itself? So they spin as best they can?

November 30, 2020, 11:30 #4

Yes, and somehow you can’t find much information on it on the internet. Everything is clear about the other manufacturers; you could have learned them by heart the entire time. As for the generally new line of Rosneft oils, the situation is contradictory. Before this, the quality was 3, 3+. Maybe it got better?

but what about the price? 855 rubles for 5l, you probably need to think about quality,

our oil should clearly cost less than imported oil.

About quality here:

everything is determined by the base oil and additive package; additives are made by only a few companies in the whole world, and Lukoil and Rosneft use them.

I'm here since 2002. I transport imports on trucks - now I’ve switched to our oil, imports are getting worse and worse and are much more expensive. I’m just talking about TNK-ROSNEFT (TNK merged and became Rosneft)

This fall I opened the valve cover on the ZMZ-409 internal combustion engine (I have such an internal combustion engine on a UAZ) - checked the timing chain, phases, tightening, thrust bushings. etc.

Motor oil Rosneft Magnum Ultratek 5w40 reviews

There was a free minute. I decided to figure out what was wrong with the oil. Firstly, there have indeed been some changes in names. Secondly, in order to make it easier for many of my teammates to navigate, I made a selection of oils that are suitable specifically for our Westies. I’ll also add that Rosneft now produces oil with approvals for brides. Be careful when choosing. So, in order:

A separate brand Rosneft appeared - I don’t know what changed after the name began to be written in Latin letters, but the oil called Magnum Ultratec

5W-30, 5W-40, 10W-40 is positioned as a “super-duper” synthetic for the most modern engines, including supercharged ones, and even has the approval of European automakers and the recommendation of AVTOVAZ. It also complies with API SN/CF. Accordingly, it suits Vesta. Which viscosity to choose depends on personal preferences and climate zone. On my own behalf, I’ll add that I noticed that in my 1.6, as well as in my friends, happy owners of the legendary 21179 1.8 liter engine with a declared power of 122 magic pink ponies, it is Rosneft that burns the least. Apparently, it’s not in vain that AVTOVAZ makes such a recommendation.

Types of oils

At the moment, a wide catalog of products is presented. All produced lubricants are presented in the list below:

• Oils for passenger cars: motor oils;
• transmission oils;
• service fluids;

Most types of oils are represented by two brands - Rosneft and TNK.

Rosneft motor oils for passenger cars are produced in three variations:

1. Rosneft Premium synthetic oil is represented by one type 5W-40;
2. Semi-synthetic oil of the Rosneft Maximum brand – available in 5W-30, 5W-40, 10W-40;
3. Rosneft Optimum mineral motor oil – 10W-30, 10W-40, 15W-40.

These markings indicate temperature viscosity, i.e. At what temperatures can this or that oil be used? For example, Rosneft 5W30 oil is applicable in the range from -35 to +30°C, and Rosneft 5W40 - from -35 to +45°C.

What qualities does Rosneft 5W40 have and what cars is it suitable for?

Synthetics at a low price - Rosneft 5W40 oil. This is exactly how many owners of Russian car brands answer. Despite the fact that Rosneft is a very large supplier of motor lubricants and other substances, there are nuances that need to be taken into account when using the product.

Once a very young guy approached me, to whom his parents gave him a car. Immediately after filling this oil, the engine began to “sneeze” and “cough”. When they began to figure out what and why, it turned out that the problem was precisely the lubrication.

And it’s not that it’s bad or of poor quality, it’s just that the guy’s car was foreign, and the lubricant was not suitable for it. According to my own feelings, the oil is not bad for a budget option. However, to explain this clearly, I will make a short review on the topic.

Brief Product Description

The Rosneft company has been working in the fuel and lubricants market for a long time, and one of its areas of activity is the development of lubricating fluids for engines. It is worth saying that the “strong point” of the enterprise is the creation of liquids that are resistant even to very unfavorable climatic conditions.

When developing such products, it was initially decided to divide all produced lubricants into two large groups: Premium - synthetics and Maximum - semi-synthetics. Synthetic Rosneft Magnum 5W40 is included in the first group.

The basis of the product is a synthetic oil base, to which is added a full package of additives developed for Russian reality. The oil is all-season and meets all the requirements of international standards.

The product has excellent cleaning and protective properties and does not allow plaque and deposits to form. The oil has high alkalinity, which guarantees excellent cleaning properties. In general, the product is comfortable to use, but you must strictly adhere to the advice given in the instructions.

Product Description

Rosneft Magnum Ultratec 5w40 automobile oil is a fully synthetic lubricant for gasoline and diesel engines of passenger cars and small commercial vehicles. A unique feature of the product is approval from the world's leading automakers and a salicylate additive package that reliably protects the engine from deposits of various origins.

Lubricant is an all-season product. It fully retains its functionality at temperatures from -35 0 C to +40 0 C.

In addition to Rosneft Magnum Ultratec 5w-40 oil, the brand’s line includes other products, for example, a lubricant with the similar name Rosneft Magnum Ultratec A3 5w-40. Its distinctive feature is a special, slightly different package of additives, the development of which focused on protecting the engine during active city driving.

The entire Ultratec line is motor oils with the highest performance characteristics, developed specifically for modern engines. Along with others, it is part of the premium Magnum series. A distinctive feature of the new series is the use of the company’s advanced developments, high-tech equipment and customization of production. When developing the formula for new articles, engineers carried out laboratory analyzes and bench tests, many of which were unique in the world.

Each Magnum consumable is made from its own synthetic base, which the company began producing in 2017.

Product Specifications

According to customer reviews, Rosneft Magnum Ultratek 5W40 oil is suitable for year-round use and performs well even in the very cold season. The composition can be poured into gasoline and diesel units with particulate filters.

The product has been approved by many domestic companies and global concerns, but experts recommend using it in Russian and Soviet cars with significant mileage. As for the technical parameters of Magnum Ultratec, they are shown in the following table:

• viscosity at 40 degrees – 85.3 sq. mm/s;
• viscosity at 100 degrees – 14.1 sq. mm/s;
• viscosity index - 175;
• flash/pour point – 220/-33.

• AAI B6STO 003;
• BMW LL01 approval;
• Porsche A40 approval;
• MB50;
• Volkswagen 502 00/505/00.

Additionally, it is worth noting that the product is produced in canisters of different capacities, 1 and 4 liters, and in barrels for wholesale buyers.

Specifications

Positive and negative characteristics of the product

Rosneft 5W40 motor oil is one of the most popular products produced under this brand. An important advantage of the oil is its affordable price (from 1112 for 4 liters), which does not make it profitable for fraudsters to counterfeit this product.

As additional positive properties, the following indicators can be noted:

• full compliance with the technical specifications declared by the manufacturer;
• the product can be poured into different types of engines;
• the oil has good cleaning and dispersing properties;
• the composition does not form soot;
• economical to use.

All of the above can be supplemented by the fact that the oil can be used for “aged” cars and even at very low temperatures (from -35 to +40).

The product also has disadvantages, and they lie in the too narrow range of oil use. Many buyers report that it is effective to pour oil only into Russian cars, but for foreign ones, it is not very suitable.

Reviews

I use Rosneft trans 75w90 gl 4 oil on Niva. Good oil for domestic cars. Speeds switch clearly. The price is reasonable, and it’s hard to come across a fake.

We use Rosneft gear oil 75w90 gl 5 at work, both on trucks and passenger cars with manual transmission. It has excellent viscosity, does not thicken in winter, lubricates well, and does not form deposits.

Last year I started using Rosneft synthetic gear oil. For six months I did not find any shortcomings. The noise of fourth gear is gone, the viscosity is optimal in winter.

Reviews of Rosneft 5W-40 oil

To get a complete picture about the product, it is worth citing several reviews from real users who described the product on the Internet.

Konstantin Ch., 43 years old

I have been buying oil for a long time and chose it consciously. Despite the fact that the product is low in cost, it fully meets all my needs. Oil is used sparingly and the engine lubricates as it should.

Dima, 29 years old

What I like about this product is that it allows the motor to run smoothly and without any problems. I've been using the oil for about a year. I changed it once, but I drive the car often and a lot. I check it periodically, the oil has darkened, they think it is of high quality.

Maxim, 32 years old

The oil is standard, but easily copes with loads. Allows you to start the car well and quickly, has excellent lubricating properties. The car starts right away in winter. I don’t have to top it up often either, and in general, the machine runs much quieter and without vibration. This is important for me, so I give the oil a plus.

Igor, 50 years old

In my opinion, the quality of the oil fully corresponds to its price. For a domestic car, the product is suitable, although my friend poured oil into a foreign car and it began to act up. What do I mean, Rosneft is probably for Russian cars and you shouldn’t think otherwise. Overall, the oil is not bad.
