Description

Liqui Moly Touring High Tech HD 40 is a mineral monograde SAE 40 oil, intended mainly for turbocharged and heavy-duty diesel engines whose manufacturer specifies this viscosity grade.

Classes: 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: 15.5 mm²/s at 100 °C, viscosity index 110, base number 10.6, NOACK 5 %, pour point -27 °C, flash point 240 °C, sulphated ash 1.2 %. Available in 20-litre packs.

Application

Mainly turbocharged and heavy-duty diesel engines for which the manufacturer specifies an SAE 40 oil.

Worth knowing

The three API classes in the entry serve different purposes: SJ applies to petrol engines, CF and CF-4 to diesels. In its list of properties the data sheet calls the oil suitable for petrol and diesel engines, turbocharged and naturally aspirated, but in the application section it singles out turbodiesels and diesels working under extreme conditions. API now lists CF-4 as obsolete, and oils can no longer be licensed to it; the article on the API CF-4 class and its replacement shows which later diesel classes supersede it.

MB 228.0 is one of the Mercedes-Benz monograde specifications for turbodiesel lorries and buses without a particulate filter. On this oil the number, like MAN 270, sits not among the specifications but in the line where Liqui Moly recommends the oil for equipment that calls for these requirements or original part numbers. Other oils with the MB 228.0 code, and the status of that code for each, are listed on the MB 228.0 page.
