Product Overview

The F7 Performance Tier 5W-30 and 5W-40 SP series occupies a premium position within the ROCKEFELLER product range, sitting directly below the flagship F9 tier. These fully synthetic engine oils are engineered for demanding modern engines — particularly turbocharged gasoline direct injection (TGDI) and turbocharged diesel engines commonly found in European, American, and Asian vehicles.

A defining characteristic of the F7 tier is its dual certification to API SP and ACEA C3 standards, coupled with a carefully calibrated low-sulfur, low-phosphorus formulation that actively protects exhaust gas aftertreatment devices. This makes the F7 series fully compatible with Gasoline Particulate Filters (GPF), Diesel Particulate Filters (DPF), and Three-Way Catalytic Converters (TWC), helping vehicle operators avoid costly emissions system failures and stay compliant with increasingly stringent global emissions regulations.

The F7 range is further distinguished by its exceptionally low evaporation loss and superior high-temperature, high-shear (HTHS) resistance, ensuring that the oil maintains its protective film integrity even under the most extreme thermal loads. Both viscosity grades are manufactured under executive standard GB11121-2006 and carry a five-year shelf life.

Key Functional Features and Performance Benefits

★ Extremely Low Evaporation Loss — Avoid Abnormal Oil Consumption:
The F7 Performance Tier 5W-30/5W-40 SP features exceptionally low evaporation loss, which directly prevents abnormal oil consumption between service intervals. This characteristic is particularly critical for turbocharged engines that operate at elevated crankcase temperatures, where conventional oils may evaporate excessively, leading to oil level drop alerts, increased top-up costs, and potential engine damage. With the F7, operators can confidently maintain stable oil levels throughout the entire drain interval.

★ Super High-Temperature, High-Shear Resistance — Ensure High-Temperature Lubrication:
Engineered with outstanding high-temperature, high-shear (HTHS) stability, this lubricant maintains its viscosity and protective film integrity under extreme thermal conditions. In modern downsized turbocharged engines, oil temperatures can exceed 150°C in critical areas such as the turbocharger bearing and piston ring zone. The F7’s superior shear resistance ensures that the oil film never breaks down, providing continuous protection where it matters most and preventing premature wear of critical engine components.

★ Excellent High-Temperature Oxidation Stability — Stable Oil, Long Service Life:
The advanced antioxidant additive package delivers exceptional high-temperature oxidation stability, keeping the oil chemically stable over prolonged service intervals. This means the oil resists thickening, acid formation, and viscosity breakdown, maintaining its original performance characteristics from the first kilometer to the last. For fleet operators and workshops, this translates to reliable extended drain intervals and reduced lubricant consumption costs.

★ Good Cleaning Dispersion — No Sludge and Carbon Deposition:
Powerful detergent and dispersant additives ensure that the lubrication system remains free of sludge, varnish, and carbon deposits. These contaminants — if left unchecked — can block oil passages, restrict piston ring movement, and reduce engine efficiency. The F7’s superior cleaning performance keeps all internal engine surfaces pristine, maintaining optimal engine performance and fuel economy throughout the oil’s service life.

★ Excellent Wear Resistance — Extend Engine Life:
Advanced anti-wear additives provide outstanding lubrication protection to critical engine components including camshafts, valve trains, piston rings, cylinder walls, and turbocharger bearings. This superior wear resistance directly contributes to longer engine life, reduced rebuild frequency, and lower total cost of ownership — a key benefit for fleet managers and high-mileage vehicle operators.

★ Low-Sulfur, Low-Phosphorus Formula — Protect Exhaust Gas Treatment Devices:
The low-sulfur, low-phosphorus (low-SAPS) formulation is specifically designed to protect modern exhaust gas aftertreatment devices. By minimizing the metallic ash, sulfur, and phosphorus content in the oil’s chemical composition, the F7 reduces deposit accumulation within GPF, DPF, and TWC substrates, preserving their catalytic and filtration efficiency, reducing regeneration cycles, and extending their service life. This also contributes to reduced harmful gas emissions, making the F7 an environmentally responsible choice.

★ API SP + ACEA C3 Dual Compliance:
Meeting both the American API SP and European ACEA C3 specifications in a single product, the F7 Performance Tier offers global market versatility. ACEA C3 certification is particularly valued in European and Middle Eastern markets, where it is required by many European OEMs for warranty-compliant servicing.
