If you follow what’s happening under the hood of modern European vehicles, you know the engines are getting smaller, lighter, and more demanding than ever. That’s why we’ve introduced Royal Purple® High-Performance Motor Oil European Formula SAE 0W-20 Dexos D to the market. This isn’t just another motor oil—it’s a specialized blend formulated to tackle the evolving needs of today’s European gasoline/petrol and light-duty diesel engines.

Formulated exclusively with premium synthetic base stocks and advanced additive technology, the new formula carries the crucial General Motors (GM) Dexos D approval. This is a key designation for light-duty diesel vehicles, effectively replacing the older Dexos 2 specification in diesel applications. The Dexos D standard is vital for the latest generation of light diesel engines like GM’s 3.0L Duramax (LM2).

Engineered for Efficiency and Protection

This new low-viscosity, high-performance formula provides critical benefits to maximize engine efficiency and protection.

  • Exceptional Stability: The premium synthetic formula delivers excellent oxidation stability and low volatility properties, ensuring consistent oil viscosity, reduced oil consumption, and longer service intervals.
  • Outstanding Engine Cleanliness: Provides excellent resistance to sludge and varnish deposits during stop-and-go driving and other severe operating conditions. High-performance detergents help minimize piston deposits and sludge buildup, delivering superior engine protection and peak vehicle performance.
  • Fuel Economy and Performance: The low 0W-20 viscosity contributes to improved fuel efficiency and reduced friction, supporting the enhanced fuel efficiency of modern European engines.
  • Maximizes Engine Life: Optimized for hybrid applications, gasoline direct injection, and turbocharged engines, Euro 0W-20 Dexos D exceeds the wear protection requirements of current API and ACEA specifications.

Beyond the GM approval, the new formula also meets the requirements of key European OEM claims, making it an ideal choice for a range of vehicles, including those from Ford, Jaguar, Land Rover, Mercedes-Benz (MB),  and Opel. It also meets the rigorous industry standards of ACEA C5-21 & C6-21 and API SP.

By introducing the Euro 0W-20 Dexos D formula, Royal Purple reinforces its commitment to providing specialized, high-performance solutions that ensure both peak operational efficiency and full regulatory compliance for the most advanced engine technologies across the global market. The new product is now available through authorized Royal Purple distributors and retailers.
