Description

Liqui Moly Touring High Tech HD 10W is a mineral monograde SAE 10W oil for petrol and diesel engines whose manufacturer specifies an oil of this viscosity grade.

Classes: ACEA E2, API SJ, CF and CF-4. It holds no official approvals; according to the manufacturer, it meets the requirements of MB 228.0 and MAN 270.

Typical figures: 6.6 mm²/s at 100 °C, viscosity index 130, base number 10.3, NOACK 10 %, pour point -39 °C, sulphated ash 1.2 %; the data sheet gives no HTHS value. Available in 20 and 60 litre packs.

Application

Petrol and diesel engines for which the manufacturer specifies an SAE 10W oil.

Worth knowing

A single-grade 10W designation describes the oil mainly from its cold side. Under the SAE J300 grade table it sets limits for cranking at -25 °C and pumping at -30 °C and a minimum of 4.1 mm²/s at 100 °C, but it has no upper limit for hot oil. So what tells you about hot behaviour is not the grade but a line in the data sheet: 6.6 mm²/s, which is below the lower limit of SAE 20 in the current edition of the standard (6.9 mm²/s).

The list of codes barely separates this oil from two others in the line. ACEA E2, API SJ, CF and CF-4 and the claims for MAN 270 and MB 228.0 are the same in Touring High Tech 20W-20, but that one has 8.7 mm²/s; HD 30, at 11.6 mm²/s, adds a Volvo VDS claim. Matching numbers do not make these cans interchangeable: their viscosity grades differ, and the data sheet refers you to the carmaker’s instructions. There is no other 10W oil from Liqui Moly in the catalogue.
