AGIP Novecento Truck 50

Worth knowing

The data sheet does not say what counts as high mileage: it gives no limit in kilometres or in the vehicle’s year of manufacture, so the code and viscosity in the engine documentation remain the guide.

The API CF code at the same SAE 50 also appears in the entries for Eni i-Sigma monograde SAE 50 and HBN SAE 50, together with API SJ; the figures are 19.6 and 18.9 mm²/s at 100 °C against 19.1 mm²/s for Truck 50, and pour points of -30 °C and -24 °C against -12 °C. AGIP Novecento 50 with API SC and Eni i-Sigma monograde CC SAE 50 with API CC and API SC have no CF entry, although their 21 and 20.7 mm²/s also lie within this viscosity grade, from 16.3 to less than 21.9 mm²/s, according to the viscosity value table. AGIP Novecento Truck 40 has the same code, but at 14.4 mm²/s it is SAE 40.
