Description

77 Lubricants Engine Oil HD 20W-50 is a mineral engine oil of the 20W-50 viscosity grade for powerful turbocharged diesel engines working under heavy load.

It is rated ACEA E2 and API CG-4. It holds no official approvals; the maker claims compliance with MB 228.1, MAN M 271, Volvo VDS, Renault Trucks RD and MTU Oil Category 1.

Typical figures: viscosity 18.3 mm²/s at 100 °C and 156.9 mm²/s at 40 °C, viscosity index 130, base number 8.6 mg KOH/g, sulphated ash 1.27 %, pour point -30 °C.

Application

Powerful turbocharged diesel engines working in severe conditions where an ACEA E2 or API CG-4 oil is specified.

Worth knowing

One line of codes separates this oil from Engine Oil HD 15W-40: the petrol class API SH appears only in the 15W-40 data sheet. The rest of the list, ACEA E2, API CG-4 and the claimed compliance with MB 228.1, MAN M 271, Volvo VDS, Renault Trucks RD and MTU Oil Category 1, is the same, so the oils in the line differ mainly in viscosity. At 100 °C the 20W-50 has 18.3 mm²/s against 14; the data sheet gives the cold-cranking viscosity at -15 °C, 6,720 mPa·s, whereas for the 15W-40 it was measured at -20 °C. SAE J300 caps the 20W grade at 9,500 mPa·s at exactly that temperature, -15 °C. The pour point is -30 °C, three degrees higher than for the 15W-40.

The MB 228.1 code rests on ACEA E2 and applies to very old equipment; what changed after Mercedes-Benz moved its truck approvals to Daimler Truck is explained in the article on the MB 228.1 approval.
