PROFI-CAR Eco-Drive Longlife 1 SAE 5W-40 is a synthetic passenger car engine oil developed for modern vehicles equipped with advanced exhaust aftertreatment systems and designed for extended oil change intervals. Its formulation is suitable for compatible gasoline and diesel engines, with a particular focus on diesel engines equipped with Diesel Particulate Filters (DPF).
The oil is formulated as a low-SAPS lubricant, making it particularly suitable for modern diesel engines with particulate filter systems. Low-SAPS technology helps limit the amount of sulphated ash, phosphorus and sulphur-related residues associated with lubricant additives, which is important for vehicles equipped with modern exhaust aftertreatment systems. The manufacturer specifically identifies this product as being developed for diesel engines with DPF systems and modern exhaust aftertreatment.
PROFI-CAR Eco-Drive Longlife 1 SAE 5W-40 provides reliable lubrication across a broad range of operating conditions. PROFI-CAR states that the product can be used under all operating conditions when the oil is suitable for the specific engine and the manufacturer’s requirements are followed. This makes it suitable for everyday passenger-car operation as well as demanding driving conditions where stable lubrication is required.
Another important characteristic is its suitability for vehicles with extended oil change intervals. The product is specifically described as an engine oil for vehicles with modern exhaust aftertreatment and extended service intervals. However, the actual oil-change interval must always follow the vehicle manufacturer’s maintenance schedule and the specific engine requirements.
The formulation also provides compatibility with gasoline engine catalytic converters (CAT). This makes the oil suitable for compatible gasoline applications where the required lubricant specification is met, while its low-SAPS characteristics make it particularly relevant to diesel vehicles using DPF technology.
The manufacturer highlights the product’s contribution to reduced emissions, which supports the protection of the environment. This characteristic is particularly relevant to modern vehicles equipped with exhaust gas aftertreatment systems, where lubricant selection can play an important role in maintaining the functionality of emissions-control components.
The official specifications listed for PROFI-CAR Eco-Drive Longlife 1 SAE 5W-40 are ACEA C3 and API SN/CF. These specifications identify the performance category of the lubricant and should be matched with the requirements specified by the vehicle manufacturer.

What is PROFI-CAR Eco-Drive Longlife 1 SAE 5W-40?
It is a synthetic passenger car engine oil developed for modern vehicles with exhaust aftertreatment systems and extended oil change intervals. It is suitable for compatible gasoline and diesel engines, especially diesel engines with DPF systems.
What is the viscosity grade?
The viscosity grade is SAE 5W-40.
What specifications does PROFI-CAR Eco-Drive Longlife 1 5W-40 meet?
It meets ACEA C3 and API SN/CF specifications.
Is it suitable for diesel engines with DPF?
Yes. The manufacturer specifically developed the oil for diesel engines with Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) systems and describes it as a low-SAPS oil.
Is it suitable for gasoline engines?
Yes. PROFI-CAR states that it can be used in all suitable gasoline and diesel engines. It is also fully compatible with gasoline engine catalytic converters.
What does Low SAPS mean?
Low SAPS refers to a lubricant formulation designed with reduced levels of sulphated ash, phosphorus and sulphur-related components, making it particularly suitable for modern exhaust aftertreatment systems such as DPF-equipped diesel vehicles.
Is it suitable for extended oil change intervals?
Yes. The product was specifically developed for vehicles with extended oil change intervals, subject to the vehicle manufacturer’s maintenance requirements.
What are the main benefits of this oil?
Its main benefits include low-SAPS technology, suitability for DPF-equipped diesel engines, reliable lubrication under different operating conditions, compatibility with catalytic converters, reduced emissions, and suitability for extended service intervals.
What are the recommended applications?
PROFI-CAR recommends applications including BMW LL-04, Fiat 9.55535-S2, Ford WSS-M2C 917-A, GM dexos 2, MB 226.5, MB 229.51, Porsche A40, Renault RN 0700/0710 and VW 502 00/505 00/505 01.
Can this oil be used in any 5W-40 engine?
No. SAE 5W-40 alone does not determine compatibility. The required ACEA/API specification and any manufacturer-specific requirement must match the vehicle manufacturer’s recommendations.
