Description

Liqui Moly Top Tec Truck 6150 5W-30 is a fully synthetic API FA-4 oil for heavy-duty Euro VI diesels, including the Mercedes-Benz OM 470, 471, 473, 934, 936 and 936h truck and bus engines.

Classes: API FA-4/SN and JASO DH-2. Official approvals: DTFR 15C130 and Volvo VDS-5. The oil meets the requirements of Cummins CES 20087 and DDC DFS 93K223 without formal approval.

Typical figures: 9.9 mm²/s at 100 °C, HTHS 2.9-3.2 mPa·s, base number 10 mg KOH/g, NOACK 10.0 %, pour point -45 °C. Pack sizes of 20, 60 and 205 litres.

The manufacturer stresses that the oil is not backward-compatible: it must not be used in earlier-generation engines.

Application

Euro VI truck and bus diesel engines, such as Mercedes-Benz OM 470, 471, 473, 934, 936 and 936h, that specify an API FA-4 oil; not intended for earlier-generation engines.

Worth knowing

An HTHS of 2.9-3.2 mPa·s sets this oil apart from the rest of the Top Tec Truck line in the catalogue, whose data sheets give at least 3.5 mPa·s. Lower high-temperature viscosity is the basis of both the API FA-4 class and the DTFR 15C130 approval, which the data sheet follows with its former number, MB 228.61, in brackets. Cummins CES 20087 and DDC DFS 93K223, which the oil meets without approval, belong to the same branch. How this branch differs from CK-4 and what will replace both classes is explained in the article on the API classes, with a separate section on diesel CK-4 and FA-4.

When the engine documentation names API CK-4, Volvo VDS-4.5 or Renault Trucks RLD-3, the line has another 5W-30 for the job, Top Tec Truck 4350 5W-30, with an HTHS of at least 3.5 mPa·s and those codes in its list.
