5W-40 Fully Synthetic Engine Oil

Our 5W-40 fully synthetic oil range is built for engines that work hard. Fully synthetic base oils resist thermal breakdown better than mineral or semi-synthetic alternatives, which makes them a common choice for turbocharged petrol engines, high-mileage diesels and performance cars.

Grid List

Where a synthetic 5W-40 oil differs from the wider grade is in the base stock. Synthetic molecules are more uniform, so the oil holds its viscosity for longer under heat and shear, keeps deposits in check, and copes better with extended drain intervals. That matters most on engines running high cylinder pressures or long motorway miles.

Shop 5W-40 fully synthetic oil by pack size

A 1 litre bottle covers top-ups between services, while 5 litre containers are usually the sensible choice for a full drain and refill on a family car. See our 5 litre 5W-40 engine oil and 1 litre engine oil collections for the pack size you need.
