Why choose QS 5W-40 SP

Duckhams QS 5W-40 SP is a fully synthetic engine oil for use in gasoline vehicles. Formulated using cutting-edge additive technology and high-quality virgin base oils to meet the requirements of existing vehicles and provide outstanding protection for modern passenger cars. Duckhams QS 5W-40 SP improves engine efficiency and reduces emissions whilst still ensuring high-temperature protection. Provides improved engine power and fuel economy benefits. Gives excellent engine cleanliness reducing sludge and deposit formation. Provides excellent anti-wear properties, easy cold start and ideal lubrication at elevated temperatures and ensures low oil consumption. It has been designed for Gasoline Direct Injection (GDI) engines to protect them against Low-Speed Pre-Ignition (LSPI).

  • Reduces internal friction within the engine improving fuel efficiency. Also gives rapid oil circulation at start-up, even in cold conditions, minimising wear, and extending engine life.
  • Low volatility base oils, ensures low oil consumption and reduced emissions, minimising environmental impact and running costs.
  • Protects engines against Low-Speed Pre-Ignition (LSPI).
  • Excellent oxidation stability ensures that the oil offers outstanding protection throughout the oil drain interval.
  • Unsurpassed deposits and sludges reduction maintains engine efficiency and counteracts hydrolysis.
  • Excellent soot handling properties reduces timing chain wear, maintaining engine performance and efficiency.
