Zeller+Gmelin is pleased to announce new manufacturer approvals: the Deutz DQC III-18 LA for the Divinol Multimax High Tech 15W-40 and the Volvo VDS-5, Renault RLD-5 and Mack EOS-5 for the Divinol Multimax LS-FE 5W-30. With these certifications, we are the first medium-sized company in the oil manufacturer race to receive the Volvo VDS-5 approval.
Divinol Multimax High Tech 15W-40: Reliable under extreme conditions
Divinol Multimax High Tech 15W-40 is a premium heavy-duty engine oil that has been specially developed for the adverse requirements of the forestry, agricultural and construction industries. These industries often rely on Deutz engines, which are known for their robustness. The Deutz DQC III-18 LA approval now underlines the high quality of this engine oil. It is characterized by excellent thermal stability, which ensures a stable lubricating film even at high temperatures. At the same time, the oil offers reliable protection and easy handling at low temperatures. Thanks to its suitability according to manufacturer specifications and beyond, the engine oil is ideal for demanding applications.
“Especially in the forestry, agricultural and construction industries, reliable operation of machines under extreme conditions is crucial,” explains Andreas Krapf, Product Manager Automotive/Motor Vehicle Special Products at Zeller+Gmelin. “With this Deutz approval and other existing approvals for Divinol Multimax High Tech 15W-40, we are emphasizing our position as a reliable partner for applications that require maximum resilience and performance.”

Divinol Multimax LS-FE 5W-30: VDS 5 approval from Volvo & efficiency through modern engine oil technology
Divinol Multimax LS-FE 5W-30 is a modern, viscosity-optimized engine oil of the latest generation. It is based on low SAPS technology and was specially developed for truck engines with the latest emission standards. With the Volvo VDS-5, Renault RLD-5 and Mack EOS-5 approvals, Zeller+Gmelin underlines its claim to maximum efficiency and sustainability in modern engine oil technology.
This is based on modern oil technology known as low-SAPS or low-ash. It contains fewer additives containing sulphur and phosphorus and tends to form less ash. These properties ensure trouble-free and long-lasting operation of exhaust gas aftertreatment systems such as catalytic converters and particulate filters. The oil also offers reduced HTHS viscosity, which enables fuel savings without compromising wear protection. The low emissions and resource-saving properties actively contribute to environmental protection. At the same time, extended oil change intervals ensure reduced operating costs and greater economy.
“The global use of exhaust gas aftertreatment systems such as catalytic converters and particulate filters has significantly increased the demand for low-ash, low-SAPS engine oils,” emphasizes Andreas Krapf. “Our products combine modern technology with high performance, long service life and excellent engine protection. Our solutions offer clear economic and ecological advantages, particularly in the transport and logistics sector.”
Wide range of applications and diverse perspectives
Both oils are widely used in heavy-duty engines – from construction and agricultural machinery to the latest generation of modern trucks. In particular, the approvals for Volvo, Renault and Mack underline the international competitiveness of Divinol products.
