Description

Liqui Moly Top Tec Truck 4050 10W-40 is a synthetic low-ash oil for Euro IV-VI truck and bus diesels with a particulate filter and for many Euro II/III engines.

Classes: ACEA E6, E7, E8, E9, E11, API CK-4, JASO DH-2. Official approvals: Volvo VDS-4.5, Mack EOS-4.5, Renault Trucks RLD-3, Renault Trucks RXD, Renault Trucks RGD, Deutz DQC IV-18 LA, DTFR 15C110. It also meets, without formal approval, MB 226.9, MAN M 3271-1, M 3477 and M 3775, Cummins CES 20076, 20077 and 20086, CAT ECF-1a and ECF-3, DAF HP-2, Deutz DQC IV-10 LA, Iveco 18-1809 NG2, Mack EO-M Plus and EO-N, MTU Oil Category 3.1, Scania Low Ash, Volvo CNG and VDS-3. Sulphated ash is at most 1 %.

Application

Heavy-duty Euro IV-VI truck and bus diesel engines with exhaust after-treatment and a particulate filter (DPF/CRT), as well as many Euro II/III engines.

Worth knowing

Another Liqui Moly truck 10W-40, Truck Low-friction Motor Oil 10W-40, has almost the same data sheet figures as this one: 14.5 mm²/s at 100 °C, viscosity index 150, base number 10.5 mg KOH/g, pour point -36 °C. What differs is Noack volatility, 10.0 % against 7.7 % here, and sulphated ash, 1.0-1.6 % against at most 1 %, and above all the intended use. Low-friction carries ACEA A3, B4, E7 and API CI-4 and the DTFR 15B110 approval, where the letter B marks an oil for engines without a particulate filter. It is Low-friction that holds the Volvo VDS-3 and Mack EO-N approvals; this oil merely meets them.

For a Volvo engine that calls for VDS-3, what this oil offers is enough: as the article on Volvo, Renault Trucks and Mack truck approvals explains, Volvo expressly allows VDS-4.5 oil in engines for which VDS-2, VDS-3 or VDS-4 was previously specified, and this oil holds VDS-4.5 as an official approval. The data sheet mentions older Euro II and Euro III trucks with a caveat: in some cases the oil can be used in them too, but only on its own, not mixed with other oils.
