Description

77 Lubricants Engine Oil HDX Extra 15W-40 is a mineral engine oil for truck diesel engines from Euro 1 to Euro 5. Its base number of 16.6 mg KOH/g suits high-sulphur diesel fuel.

It is rated ACEA E7, API CI-4 and SL, JASO DH-1 and Global DHD-1. It holds no official approvals; the maker claims compliance with Volvo VDS-3, Mack EO-N, Renault Trucks RLD-2, DTFR 15B110, MAN M 3275, CAT ECF-1a, CAT ECF-2, Cummins CES 20077 and 20078, DDC DFS 93K215, Deutz DQC-III and MTU Oil Category 2.

Typical figures: viscosity 15.1 mm²/s at 100 °C, sulphated ash 1.5 %, flash point above 230 °C.

It is not for engines with a particulate filter.

Application

Heavy-duty truck diesel engines from Euro 1 to Euro 5, with or without EGR and SCR, running on high-sulphur diesel fuel; not for engines with a particulate filter.

Worth knowing

No other 77 Lubricants truck oil in the catalogue has a base number as high as 16.6 mg KOH/g by ASTM D2896: in the others it does not exceed 14.4 mg KOH/g. The ACEA E7 class requires at least 9 by the same method. Its sulphated ash, meanwhile, is 1.5 %, whereas HDX 15W-40, with a base number of 11.2, has 0.98 %. Alkaline additives mostly turn into sulphated ash after combustion, so these two figures usually rise together, and by ASTM D4739 the same oil would show a lower number; both relationships are explained in how to read the figures on an oil data sheet.

Engine Oil HDX 15W-40, of the same viscosity grade, has DTFR 15B110, Volvo VDS-3, Renault Trucks RLD-2 and Mack EO-N in its approvals block, while for the Extra these four codes are only claimed. ACEA E7, API CI-4 and SL, and JASO DH-1 are common to both oils; ACEA A3/B4 and MB 228.1 appear only in the list of the 15W-40. So when a vehicle’s documentation requires an oil approved under one of these four codes, it is the 15W-40 without Extra in its name that has the confirmation.
