AGIP SINT 2000 is the first of a new generation of automotive oils
based on innovative concepts. By including superior synthetic oils in
its composition, a product has been obtained which possesses not only
detergent, dispersant, antioxidant, anticorrosion, antiwear, antirust
and antifoam properties better than those of the best multigrade oils
but also entirely new characteristics that enable it to give exceptional
performance.
AGIP SINT 2000 is recommended for cars of every make and type even when
operating under the severest conditions. It has passed with flying
colours tests on sports cars, "hotted-up" engines and combined
engine-gearbox-differential lubricating systems.
There are no use limitations as regards air temperature range and so
AGIP SINT 2000 can be used in all seasons and in all latitudes.

PROPERTIES AND PERFORMANCE
The synthetic components help form an oily film which adheres
tenaciously to metal surfaces even when the engine has been standing
for some time, thus ensuring easy starting and greatly reduced wear
even under high load conditions.
The synthetic oil has a naturally high Viscosity Index, so it has
been possible to reduce the amount of VI-improving additives, which
are more subject to deterioration in use. This factor has also
permitted permanent extension of the viscosity range, thus combining
the free-flowing qualities of the best winter grade oils when cold
(SAE 10W) with the lower consumption characteristic of the most
viscous oils (SAE 40).
The presence of low-volatility synthetic components with high
thermal stability reduces oil consumption due to volatility.
The good detergent-dispersant properties minimize the formation of
lacquer and varnish, as well as sludge and other engine deposits.
Hence the oil helps prevent ring sticking and keeps pistons clean,
while maintaining potential deposits in suspension.
AGIP SINT 2000 is very resistant to deterioration, especially that
caused by oxidation resulting from prolonged exposure to high
temperatures in the presence of air and other agents.
It has special anticorrosion properties which afford effective
protection against corrosion by moisture and acid formed during
combustion.
It ensures long life for all moving parts, substantially reducing
the need for engine servicing and overhaul.
Its antifoam properties prevent the formation of air bubbles which
could adversely affect the continuity of the lubricant film.
