XADO 5W-50 SN Red Boost is a high-performance synthetic engine oil for powerful cars, big SUVs and drivers who use everything their engine has. It carries Revitalizant, our technology that protects and restores the metal inside your engine as you drive.

Some drives ask a lot. A fully loaded 4×4 climbing out of the Rift Valley. A long, fast run to the coast in the midday heat. A weekend on rough tracks in low gear, or simply a driver who enjoys a quick overtake. On days like these the engine runs hotter and works harder than usual, and the oil is the only thing standing between that effort and real wear.

This oil is made to have something in reserve. It flows quickly on a cold start, so every part is protected from the first second. Then, as the heat builds, it stays noticeably thicker and stronger than an ordinary 5W-30 or 5W-40, holding its protective film under full power and high revs.

Revitalizant adds protection exactly when the engine is under the most strain, by building a ceramic-metal layer on the parts that rub together. Our Red Boost formula keeps the oil from tiring in the heat. The harder the drive, the more this oil earns its place.

Why drivers choose it

It protects during hard acceleration and long spells of demanding driving. It is especially effective in sports cars and four-wheel-drive vehicles working at full power. It suits petrol, LPG and diesel engines, including turbocharged and direct-injection ones. It reaches every part quickly on a cold start. And its protection stays high right through the service interval.

It also suits a powerful engine that has covered a high mileage and started to use oil between services.

Driving a diesel with a particulate filter (DPF), or a hybrid? Those need a different oil. Tell our specialists your model, year and how you drive, and they will match you to the right XADO oil before you buy.

Genuine XADO, straight from the source

Every can we sell comes directly from XADO and arrives sealed. Our Nairobi service centre can also do the oil change for you.

You bought the car for what it can do. This oil lets you use it.

How to use

Check your owner’s handbook for how much oil your engine holds. Four-cylinder turbo engines usually take 4 to 5 litres, while six- and eight-cylinder engines take 6 to 8 litres or more, so combine 4-litre and 1-litre cans to suit.

Warm the engine for a few minutes, switch it off, then drain the old oil and fit a new oil filter. Pour in XADO 5W-50 SN Red Boost and check the level on the dipstick. Run the engine for a minute, switch off, wait, and check again.

For a cleaner start, use XADO VitaFlush in the old oil before draining it.
