Description
Aral MegaTurboral VR 10W-40 is a low-SAPS engine oil from the Turboral line for mixed fleets where modern European and American low-emission diesels run side by side, on and off the road. It is DPF-compatible and suited to extended drains.
The oil is classified ACEA E9 and API CJ-4, with an MB 228.31 approval; the manufacturer states that it meets the requirements of Cummins CES 20081, Deutz DQC III-10 LA, Mack EO-O Premium Plus, MAN M 3275, Renault Trucks RLD-3, Volvo VDS-4 and CAT ECF-3.
Typical figures: kinematic viscosity 14.4 mm²/s at 100 °C and 95.5 mm²/s at 40 °C, viscosity index 156, pour point -39 °C, base number 8.1 mg KOH/g and sulphated ash 0.96 %.
Application
Mixed fleets of modern European and American low-emission trucks and off-road machinery, on extended drain intervals.
Worth knowing
At least three numbers in the VR list have successors. The level that the data sheet records as “MB-Approval 228.31” has been designated DTFR 15C100 since the truck approvals were transferred to Daimler Truck, and, as the article on the MB 228.31 approval explains, the requirements remained the same; in the Daimler Truck list of approved oils it now appears under the new name. Deutz has moved its classes to the -18 series, and approvals of the -10 series, to which DQC III-10 LA belongs, remained valid until 31 December 2024 at the latest. Volvo VDS-4 has been succeeded by VDS-4.5, and Volvo allows VDS-4.5 oil in engines for which VDS-4 was required.
MegaTurboral LA 10W-40 holds Deutz DQC IV-18 LA from the new series and Volvo VDS-4.5; it is also a 10W-40, also has ash of 0.96 % and carries the same ACEA E9 and API CJ-4. Under Deutz rules, an oil of a higher class is fine where a lower one is required, and it stays within the low-ash LA branch. The LA has no MAN M 3275 or MB 228.31 numbers; the catalogue oils with the MB 228.31 code are collected on the page for this approval.
