Description

Liqui Moly Truck Low-friction Motor Oil 10W-40 is a synthetic oil for heavily loaded diesel engines on extended drain intervals; its petrol classes allow it to be used in mixed fleets.

Classes: ACEA E7, A3 and B4, API CI-4 and SL. Official approvals: Volvo VDS-3, Mack EO-N, Renault Trucks RLD-2, Deutz DQC III-18, Global DHD-1, DTFR 15B110. Without formal approval, it meets the requirements of MB 228.3, MB 229.1, MAN M 3275-1, MTU Oil Category 2, Cummins CES 20071, 20072, 20076, 20077 and 20078, CAT ECF-1a and ECF-2, Mack EO-M Plus and Renault Trucks RLD.

With sulphated ash of 1.0-1.6 %, it is not a low-SAPS oil. HTHS is at least 3.5 mPa·s, viscosity 14.5 mm²/s at 100 °C.

Application

Diesel engines with or without turbocharging and an intercooler, under heavy load and on extended drain intervals; also a universal oil for mixed fleets.

Worth knowing

For a mixed fleet, what matters is the ACEA A3/B4 pairing alongside E7: among the Liqui Moly truck oils in the catalogue, only this one lists a passenger-car ACEA class. The data sheet puts the Mercedes-Benz codes, MB 229.1 for cars and MB 228.3 for trucks, outside the “Specifications / Approvals” section: they appear in the list of requirements for which Liqui Moly merely recommends the oil. The data sheet adds another caveat: the oil is miscible with other engine oils but works to full effect only unmixed.

The engine makers’ codes are divided in the same way: Deutz DQC III-18 and DTFR 15B110 are among the approvals, while Cummins CES and CAT ECF are among the recommendations. The article on Cummins, CAT and Deutz codes for machinery oil gives a 1.5 % sulphated ash limit for CAT ECF-2, whereas the data sheet gives only a range of 1.0-1.6 %, not a measured value. For an engine that needs Volvo VDS-4.5 or Renault Trucks RLD-3, Liqui Moly Top Tec Truck 4050 10W-40 holds those codes as approvals.
