Classic is always popular
A classic from Mannol - universal semi-synthetic all-season motor oil MANNOL Classic 10W40. With this, as they say, both to the feast and to the world.
Nature
The presented Mannol oil belongs to the category of semi-synthetic. In this case, the main component is products of fractional oil refining, additionally processed by hydrotreating. The properties of the lubricant were further enhanced with a package of alloying additives. Their volume is slightly lower than that of fully synthetic types of oils, so in some cases this Mannol oil cannot withstand competition with these types of lubricants. The advantage is different. The fact is that the presented oil is somewhat cheaper than fully synthetic analogues. It is ideal for those motorists who pay a lot of attention primarily to the cost of lubricant.
Reviews of MANNOL 10W-40 oil
The lubricant composition for engines MANNOL 10W-40 has proven itself well during tests and inspections. Feedback from regular users will help complete the overall picture of the product:
Vadim, 47 years old
Recently I had to fill myself with cheap oil; on the canister it was written MANNOL 7711 OEM 5W-40 for Daewoo GM 1L. The seller assured that this is a fully synthetic motor oil made in Germany. Actually, I fell for this, because the Germans, as you know, are famous for their scrupulous and pedantic attitude to detail. I’ll say right away that I wasn’t fascinated by the oil. In general, average quality oil at a low price.
Boris, 29 years old
On a long trip, my hydraulic compensators began to ring, I looked at the oil in the crankcase and there was absolutely zero oil in the crankcase, the dipstick was dry. In short, I had to stop at the first gas station I came across and buy the oil that was there. And there was - drum roll - only MANNOL 5W oil. Don’t even ask what I thought then, it should be clear that my engine was finished. But it was not there! The butter turned out to be superb and I am very pleased.
Nikita, 31 years old
It turns out that this is a very good new generation synthetic oil, which is not only universal, that is, intended for all types of engines, but also really all-season, because I bought it in November, and already in December the temperature dropped below 25 degrees below zero, and In the yard, the car started when cold with absolutely no problems, and the oil itself at this temperature did not lose either viscosity or fluidity! I’ve already driven it for almost 12 thousand, I’m not going to change it yet, and it hasn’t even gotten too bad - I’ve only added about 100 grams at this mileage. Very cool, unrealistically simple!
Season of application
According to the SAE classification, the specified composition is all-season. But the product cannot withstand low operating temperatures. Effective distribution of lubricant throughout the system and provision of reliable protection of engine parts from friction can be achieved at -30 degrees. However, completely safe idling of the engine is possible only at -20 degrees. Reviews of Manol 10W-40 oil (semi-synthetic) are left primarily by motorists from regions with fairly mild winters. This composition will not be able to withstand severe frost tests.
Check results
Oil analysis is quite old, but there is nothing else to rely on. Let's look at him. The additive package was not determined in the analysis; we will judge by other indicators. The oil's viscosity at operating temperature is average, the golden mean between protection and economy. In terms of stability under load, the oil is also average; it can easily withstand normal loads. There really is quite a lot of alkali in the oil, as the manufacturer claims. And simply excellent low-temperature qualities, with a large margin, as for 10W oil.
Advantages
- Universal, both in terms of use in different engines and when choosing a season.
- Resists wear of parts well.
- Helps save fuel.
- Performed excellently at low temperatures.
- Prevents carbon deposits, neutralizes varnish and soot deposits.
- Viscosity and fluidity are stable.
- Little evaporates and also burns.
Flaws
- The replacement interval stated by the manufacturer is not true. In fact, the oil needs to be updated more often.
Removing carbon deposits
This oil is distinguished primarily by its good cleaning properties. Carbon deposits form inside the engine due to poor fuel quality. Fuel for gasoline and diesel power plants contains many sulfur compounds. When exposed to heat, these substances burn to form soot. Gradually, the soot particles connect with each other. As a result, a precipitate forms. Formed soot agglomerations lead to increased engine vibration, increased noise, increased fuel consumption and decreased power.
In reviews of Manol 10W-40 oil (semi-synthetic), motorists note that the use of this product helps prevent all these negative effects. The company's chemists added compounds of some alkaline earth metals (barium, calcium and magnesium) to the lubricant. The substances adhere to the surface of the soot, preventing their subsequent coagulation with each other. The presented oil is capable of destroying already formed deposits, transforming carbon deposits into a colloidal state.
How to spot a fake
First of all, you should always pay attention to the packaging. The manufacturer does not allow uneven seams, soft plastic, unevenness or roughness in original canisters. The canister always looks presentable. Often on fakes you can see a slightly convex bottom, due to which the canister does not sit flat on the surface. Next, look for the following signs:
- Canister color - fakes are usually painted a little lighter.
- The label fits tightly to the surface without swelling or bubbles - original.
- The date of manufacture is indicated on the lid, the date of manufacture of the canister is indicated on the bottom. The date or month may be different, but the year is always the same. There may be a difference of several years in fakes. Often, on counterfeits, the bottling date is indicated not on the cap, but under the bottom edge of the label.
- There is a protective film under the cover; the inscription ORIGINAL is pressed onto it from the inside, that is, it will be convex on the front part.
- Often on fakes, the date stamp is made with low-quality ink and is easily erased. The lid itself is smooth, fakes are often rough.
- The oil level scale in the fake is much narrower than in the original.
- On the fake, under the level scale, there is a triangle left over from soldering the canister.
- All inscriptions on the original are clear, not smoothed, and easy to read.
- The oil itself is dark gray in color and has no burnt smell.
Stable viscosity
Various viscosity additives help improve the quality of oil distribution over engine parts in cold weather. The mechanism of their action is simple. The fact is that polymer compounds formed from a large number of monomers are added to the composition. Connection sizes vary depending on the ambient temperature. When the temperature decreases, the compounds curl into a specific ball; when it increases, the reverse process occurs. In this way, it is possible to prevent sudden changes in viscosity.

Low fuel consumption
In reviews of Manol 10W-40 oil (semi-synthetic), drivers also indicate that the use of this composition allows for a slight reduction in fuel consumption. On average, fuel consumption drops by 6%. How is this effect achieved? The fact is that to increase the efficiency of the motor, manufacturers added organic molybdenum compounds to the lubricant. The substances have high adhesive properties.
They stick to the metal surface and form a durable film on it. As a result, it is possible to prevent contact of parts with each other and reduce friction. The additives presented increase the durability of the engine and increase its service life.
Product Description
Semi-synthetic Mannol Classic 10v40 contains a package of modern high-quality anti-wear, energy-saving and cleaning additives. It provides uniform, stable lubrication and wear protection, thereby extending engine life.
Has excellent cleaning characteristics. Well prevents the formation of soot, soot and varnish deposits. Resistant to oxidation and destruction.
It also has excellent low and high temperature properties. Stable viscosity does not depend on fluctuations in ambient temperature, prevents the lubricant from thickening in cold weather and becoming too thin in hot weather.
The oil facilitates cold starting of the car and protects the power unit from the first moments of its operation, quickly distributing and reaching the standard pressure.
Mileage
In reviews of Manol 10W-40 oil (semi-synthetic), owners indicate an extended replacement interval. The lubricant should be changed only after 8 thousand kilometers. Such characteristics were achieved through the active use of antioxidants. Phenols and other aromatic compounds prevent oxidative processes by trapping oxygen radicals. The stable chemical composition of Manol Molybdenum oil also prevents changes in physical properties.
