Q8Oils is proud to announce that Q8 Mahler GR5 SAE 40 has received the MAN M 3271-5 approval; an important step forward in expanding our Energy portfolio and supporting our customers in the fast-growing stationary gas engine market.
What this approval means
The MAN M 3271-5 approval confirms that Q8 Mahler GR5 SAE 40 meets the latest performance requirements for a broad range of MAN gas engines operating on natural gas, biogas, landfill gas, sewage gas and wood gas.
The approval applies to turbocharged and naturally aspirated engines equipped with:
- Three-way catalytic converters
- SCR catalytic converters
- Oxidation catalytic converters
The product was already approved under MAN M 3271-2 and MAN M 3271-4. This new approval now broadens its applicability across more MAN platforms.
Note: the approval does not cover the E3872 LE steel piston engine, which requires additional field testing.
Why this matters
The demand for reliable, efficient and clean gas engine oils continues to grow—especially in Germany, where MAN engines have a strong market presence.
With the new approval, Q8 Mahler GR5 SAE 40 strengthens its position as a robust, future-ready solution for operators and OEM partners.
A step forward in our Energy strategy
This milestone supports Q8Oils’ long-term commitment to expand our approvals, enhance operational reliability for our customers, and grow our Energy segment with high-performance, OEM-approved lubricants.
