A GREAT PSA-STELLANTIS SOLUTION
To solve some of the Puretech engine issues, PSA-Stellantis has decided to go for a bold solution: a new motor oil. KENNOL, as usual, ahead of its time, already offers this product, and introduces the brand new KENNOL REVOLUTION 5W-30 NEO as the latest addition to the REVOLUTION range.
▌A RECOMMENDATION IN 3 ACTS
The PSA-Stellantis engines problem has been mediatized in many countries for a while. But it finally ignited late 2023, with the decision by PSA-Stellantis to recommend a brand new motor oil for their 1.5 BlueHDi (DV5R, produced until January 2023) engine. A few days after, literally, the 1.2 PureTech Gen1 (EB2) joined its brother. Why? To solve the major issue Peugeot, Citroën, and other brands of the Group had for several months/years: an important timing belt/chain frailty. And as often in this modern era of the car industry, the oil can make a difference.
The new recommendation, a motor oil with a 5W-30 grade and PSA FPW9.55535/03 specification, was barely on the market, than a 3rd decision was taken late Spring: Stellantis decided to broaden the field of application to most DV5s, but also to include the 2.2 BlueHDi (DW12RU). Too many engines were at critical risk then.
That’s how we launched the KENNOL REVOLUTION 5W-30 NEO. A new product quickly adopted by the specialized press!
▌THE KENNOL REVOLUTION 5W-30 NEO
This 100% synthesis motor oil is obviously designed to solve PSA-Stellantis problems. It is aimed at the DS, Peugeot, Citroën, Opel/Vauxhall and Fiat engines. But it also covers much more: Alfa Romeo, Toyota, Chevrolet, Chrysler, Jeep, Kia, Honda, Hyundai, Lexus, Mazda, Renault, Suzuki… One more time, KENNOL dind’t just answer a need. We solved more.
The product already matches the manufacturers recommendations of 10.275 different car models. And the number is not going to fall back. Since the newest makes of engines are avoiding the same issue at any cost, this oil casts more and more recommendations, and more and more engines on the roads.
Within the Peugeot-Citroën portfolio of motor oils to have, the KENNOL REVOLUTION 5W-30 NEO sits on top. To date, it covers more than 44% of the 2 brands recommendations. And it still boasts a 2.2% fuel economy rate. That is a true solution.
