Why choose QXR 0W-40 SP
Duckhams QXR 0W-40 SP is a fully synthetic engine oil that delivers exceptional cold-start flow, strong high-temperature stability and advanced engine cleanliness. Its wide viscosity range ensures fast lubrication in extreme cold while maintaining a protective oil film in high temperatures, supporting smoother performance, reduced wear and longer engine life.
- PAO (polyalphaolefin) synthetic base oil provides excellent thermal and oxidation stability, low volatility and outstanding low-temperature flow.
- Meets the API SP low-speed pre-ignition (LSPI) test requirement, helping protect modern small, turbocharged petrol engines against LSPI damage.
- Flows rapidly at very low temperatures for immediate engine protection during cold starts.
- Maintains a stable oil film at high temperatures for dependable wear control.
- High detergency helps keep the engine clean and reduces harmful deposits.
- Low volatility helps minimise oil consumption under severe operating conditions.
- Supports consistent performance across varied driving and climate conditions.
