Description

BP Vanellus Long Life Turbo 10W-30 is a mineral engine oil from the Vanellus line for high-speed four-stroke truck diesels that run on fuel of varying quality. The maker stresses its control of piston ring-groove deposits with high-sulphur fuel.

It is rated API CH-4 and suits engines that call for this or a lower category; it carries no official carmaker approvals.

Typical figures: kinematic viscosity 10.8 mm²/s at 100 °C, viscosity index 142, base number 11.5 mg KOH/g, sulphated ash 1.3 %, pour point -45 °C.

Application

High-speed four-stroke truck diesel engines running on fuel of varying quality, where API CH-4 or a lower category is specified.

Worth knowing

Of the two Vanellus 10W-30 oils, only this one is rated API CH-4; Long Life 10W-30 without “Turbo” in its name stops at CF-4. BP Vanellus Multi 20W-50 has exactly the same list of codes, a single API CH-4, but a different viscosity: 18.4 mm²/s at 100 °C against 10.8 mm²/s, so an identical class does not make these oils interchangeable.

CCS viscosity at -25 °C is lower for this oil than for Long Life: 5350 against 6350 mPa·s according to the BP data sheets. The CH-4 requirements were written for fuel with up to 0.5 % sulphur, but, unlike CG-4 oils, CH-4 oils have a service life that is less sensitive to fuel with more than 0.5 % sulphur. The list of classes that CH-4 covers and the additive requirements are set out in the article on the API CH-4 class.
