Description

Liqui Moly Top Tec Truck 4450 15W-40 is a fully synthetic low-ash oil for Euro IV-VI diesel engines in trucks, buses and off-road machinery, especially with a particulate filter, and for Euro II/III engines where permitted.

Classes: ACEA E7, E9 and E11, API CK-4 and SN, JASO DH-2. Official approvals: Volvo VDS-4.5, Mack EOS-4.5, Renault Trucks RLD-3, Cummins CES 20086, MTU Oil Category 2.1, DDC DFS 93K222, Ford WSS-M2C171-F1, DTFR 15C100. It also meets, without formal approval, MB 228.31, MAN M 3575 and M 3775, CAT ECF-3, Cummins CES 20081 and Deutz DQC III-10 LA.

Sulphated ash is at most 1 % and HTHS at least 3.5 mPa·s. Pack sizes from 5 to 1,000 litres.

Application

Trucks and buses on short and long-haul routes, and forestry, agricultural and construction machinery with Euro IV-VI engines, especially with a particulate filter; Euro II/III engines as their makers permit.

Worth knowing

The petrol class API SN sits in the list alongside CK-4, yet the Liqui Moly data sheet expressly limits the recommended use to diesel engines. Another quirk of the list concerns Daimler Truck: DTFR 15C100 is recorded as an official approval, while MB 228.31 is mentioned only among the oil maker’s recommendations. The article on MB 228.31 and its new name, DTFR 15C100 explains that this is one and the same approval: after the move to Daimler Truck only the designation changed and the requirements stayed the same, so on newer cans look for 15C100.

Of the five Top Tec Truck oils in the catalogue, only this one has Cummins CES 20086, DDC DFS 93K222 and MTU Oil Category 2.1 as approvals. The 4650 10W-30 gives all three codes as compliance only, the 4350 5W-30 does the same for CES 20086 and DFS 93K222, and the 4050 10W-40 for CES 20086 alone.
