It meets the requirements of CAT ECF-2 and MAN M 3275-1 without formal approval.
Typical figures: viscosity 14.7 mm²/s at 100 °C, viscosity index 140, pour point -42 °C, base number 10.6 mg KOH/g and sulphated ash 1.42 %. Packs from 5 to 208 litres.
Application
Trucks, buses, construction machines, tractors and other agricultural equipment; the oil is also suitable for petrol engines.
Worth knowing
By codes alone this oil and Turboral 10W-40 cannot be told apart: the data sheets of both contain the same list of specifications, from ACEA E7 and API CI-4/SL to the line “Meets requirements of MAN M 3275-1”. They differ in base oil, winter grade and viscosity. Turboral 15W-40 is mineral, while Aral describes the 10W-40 as an oil based on “Synthese-Technologie”. According to the German data sheets, their kinematic viscosity at 100 °C differs by only 0.3 mm²/s (14.7 for the 15W-40, 14.4 for the 10W-40), whereas at 40 °C the mineral oil is noticeably thicker, 109 mm²/s against 99, and its viscosity index is 140 against 150 for the 10W-40.
The 15W-40 data sheet gives cold-cranking viscosity (CCS) at -20 °C: 5410 mPa·s; for the 10W-40 it is measured at -25 °C, and the German data sheet gives 6400 mPa·s. Both values are below 7000 mPa·s, the limit that SAE J300 sets for the 15W and 10W grades, each at its own temperature; the full scale is in the SAE viscosity table. Which of the two to use depends on the viscosity the engine manual allows.
