Description

77 Lubricants Mono Engine Oil CF 20W-20 is a mineral engine oil of the SAE 20W-20 viscosity grade for diesel engines in on- and off-road equipment working under heavy load.

It is rated API CF-4, API SG and ACEA E2. It holds no official approvals; the maker claims compliance with MB 228.0, MB 228.1, MAN 270, MAN 271, Volvo VDS, Deutz DQC I-02 and ZF TE-ML 04A, 04P and 07D.

Typical figures: viscosity 9 mm²/s at 100 °C, viscosity index 108, base number 11.8 mg KOH/g, sulphated ash 1.5 %, pour point -33 °C.

Application

Diesel engines in on- and off-road equipment for which an API CF-4 oil is specified.

Worth knowing

The data sheet backs both halves of the name 20W-20 with figures: a CCS viscosity of 3,780 mPa·s at -15 °C is within the 9,500 mPa·s limit of the 20W winter grade, and 9 mm²/s at 100 °C stays below the upper SAE 20 limit of 9.3 mm²/s. The limits of every grade are collected in the viscosity value table. The pour point of -33 °C plays no part in this comparison: SAE J300 does not use it, and it is no safety margin for a cold start.

By its codes alone this oil cannot be told apart from CF 10W: the list is the same and the base number is also 11.8 mg KOH/g, so the difference lies in viscosity. Among the ZF codes in this data sheet, 20W-20 viscosity is named only in TE-ML 07D, for HL and AVG gearboxes and HC hydrostatic drives; for 04A and 04P ZF describes other SAE grades. Sulphated ash is 1.5 %, while in CF 40 it reaches 1.85 %.
