Description

AGIP Novecento Truck 40 is a single-grade SAE 40 engine oil from the Novecento line for the engines of classic lorries and heavy vehicles. Its formulation resists oxidation.

The oil is rated API CF; it holds no official carmaker approvals.

Typical figures: viscosity 165 mm²/s at 40 °C and 14.4 mm²/s at 100 °C, viscosity index 105, pour point -18 °C, flash point 230 °C and density 895 kg/m³.

Application

Engines of classic lorries and other heavy vehicles.

Worth knowing

AGIP Novecento 40 has the same 14.4 mm²/s at 100 °C, pour point of -18 °C and flash point of 230 °C; what sets the two oils apart is the code and the intended use: API CF and classic heavy-duty engines here, API SJ and machines from the first half of the last century there. The table of figures cannot settle the choice between them; the requirement in the engine documentation does.

Also in the Eni catalogue with API CF at SAE 40 are Eni i-Sigma monograde SAE 40 and HBN SAE 40, both with API SJ as well, at 14.5 and 14.4 mm²/s. Their data sheets give the base number, 9.8 and 11.5 mg KOH/g, while the Truck 40 sheet does not, so only those two can be compared on this figure; Eni recommends HBN, with the higher value, for fuel with a high sulphur content. Within Novecento Truck there is no substitute with the same code and viscosity: SAE 50 has 19.1 mm²/s, and 15W-50 has API CF-4. The article on the API CF class gives API’s position on replacing CF with modern oils.
