Official approvals: Cummins CES 20081, Deutz DQC IV-18 LA, DTFR 15C110, Mack EO-O Premium Plus, Mack EOS-4.5, MTU Oil Category 3.1, Renault Trucks RLD-3, Volvo CNG and Volvo VDS-4.5. It meets the requirements of CAT ECF-3, MAN M 3271-1 and MAN M 3477 without formal approval.

Typical figures: viscosity index 138, pour point -42 °C, base number 9.6 mg KOH/g and sulphated ash 0.96 %. Packs: 20, 60 and 208 litres.

Application

Euro 4, 5 and 6 truck diesels with a particulate filter or other after-treatment on extended drains; also older on- and off-road engines, and Iveco and DAF trucks that call for these ACEA classes.

Worth knowing

There are no Iveco or DAF numbers in this oil’s data sheet: both makes appear only indirectly, through the ACEA E6, E7, E8, E9 and E11 classes that their trucks require. Iveco, meanwhile, puts the class right in the name of its own standard 18-1804 (“TLS E6”, “TLS E9”), and it is the whole name that is checked against the documentation, not just the class. DAF divides its requirements into Standard Drain and Extended Drain with the engine group in brackets, so here too the exact line in the vehicle’s manual decides. How to read these designations together with the Volvo, MAN and Daimler Truck codes is explained in the article on oil for a truck or bus.

Volvo CNG stands apart: it is a gas-engine approval, and of the three MegaTurboral oils in the catalogue only the LA has it, alongside the diesel Volvo VDS-4.5 and Renault Trucks RLD-3. When the documentation for a gas-fuelled bus or truck engine names a gas approval, look on the can for exactly the code written there.
