Description

Aral MegaTurboral 10W-40 is a synthetic engine oil from the Turboral line for diesels in trucks, buses, construction and agricultural machinery that do not need a low-SAPS oil. Drains can reach 120,000 km where the equipment manufacturer allows.

The oil is classified ACEA E4 and E7, API CI-4 and JASO DH-1, with official approvals from Cummins CES 20077 and Cummins CES 20078, DDC Powerguard 93K215, Deutz DQC III-18, DTFR 15B120, Mack EO-N, MAN M 3277, MTU Oil Category 3, Renault Trucks RLD-2 and Volvo VDS-3.

Typical figures: viscosity 14.8 mm²/s at 100 °C, pour point -42 °C, base number 12.7 mg KOH/g and sulphated ash 1.83 %. It copes with high-sulphur fuel. Packs: 20 and 208 litres.

Application

Diesel engines in trucks, buses, construction and agricultural machinery from Euro 2 to Euro 6 that do not need a low-SAPS oil; drain intervals up to 120,000 km where the equipment manufacturer permits.

Worth knowing

Aral’s English-language data sheet calls this oil low-ash (Low SAPS) and says it suits engines with exhaust after-treatment. The figures and other sources say otherwise: sulphated ash in the same data sheet is 1.83 %, and the German data sheet and the Aral page aim the oil at engines that do not need a low-ash oil. The DTFR 15B120 code says the same: in Daimler Truck designations the letter B stands for oils for vehicles without a particulate filter. On the Aral page this approval is recorded under its former name, “MB-Freigabe 228.5”; how the old and new numbers correspond is set out in the article on approvals for trucks and buses.

For an engine with a particulate filter the line has MegaTurboral LA 10W-40 in the same SAE grade: ash of 0.96 %, ACEA E6, E8, E9 and E11, and the DTFR 15C110 and Volvo VDS-4.5 approvals. MAN M 3277, MTU Oil Category 3 and Deutz DQC III-18, however, are not among its codes, so the number in the engine’s documentation decides between these two oils.
