Description
Liqui Moly Special Tec T3400 15W-40 is a semi-synthetic year-round oil for petrol, diesel and hybrid vehicles, both naturally aspirated and turbocharged.
The oil carries ACEA A3/B4, ACEA E7 and API CI-4/SL. It holds no carmaker approvals, and the manufacturer gives no recommendations for specific makes.
Typical figures: 15 mm²/s at 100 °C, viscosity index 135, HTHS at least 3.7 mPa·s, NOACK 8.0 %, pour point -36 °C. Available in 1, 4 and 205 litre packs.
Sulphated ash is 1.5 %, so this is not a low-SAPS oil: it is not intended for engines that require particulate-filter-compatible classes.
Application
Petrol, diesel and hybrid vehicles, naturally aspirated or turbocharged, for which a full-SAPS oil to ACEA A3/B4 or E7, or API CI-4, is suitable.
