MPM is continuously working on updating and optimizing its product portfolio to maintain 99% coverage for the universal workshop.
A recent improvement is the upgrade of our Motor Oil 0W-20 Premium Synthetic C5 (05000C5). With this upgrade, the Motor Oil 0W-20 Premium Synthetic VLV (05000VLV) becomes obsolete.
The 05000C5 not only offers an improved specification for Volvo but also covers a significantly larger share of the vehicle fleet. This product is suitable for various brands, including BMW, Mercedes, Opel, Fiat, Jaguar/Land Rover, and several Asian manufacturers.
What does this mean for you?You can sell off your remaining stock of the 05000VLV and transition to the 05000C5 thereafter.
MPM will gradually phase out the Motor Oil 0W-20 Premium Synthetic VLV (05000VLV). For your convenience, product information for this item will remain available via the recommendation tool on the MPM website for at least six more months.
Specification overviewBelow, you will find a clear overview of the specifications for both the 05000VLV and its replacement, the 05000C5, to help you make an informed comparison.
