Worth knowing
Cummins CES 20076, 20077, 20078, Volvo VDS-3, Renault Trucks RLD-2 and Mack EO-N are requirements this oil only meets, without approval. All six appear as official approvals in the data sheet of Mobil Delvac Ultra 5W-40 Ultimate Defense, of the same SAE grade and with the same ACEA E4, E7 and API CI-4 Plus. The European list of new Mobil Delvac names presents Ultimate Defense as the new name of Mobil Delvac 1 5W-40, yet the data sheets of the two oils differ: viscosity at 40 °C 92.7 mm²/s against 102, viscosity index 174 against 151, ash 1.2 % against 1.35 %. Ultimate Defense has no DDC DFS 93K214 or Volvo VDS-2 approvals and no petrol API classes SL and SJ.
Ultimate Defense does not list MB 228.5 either, but it has DTFR 15B120: since the renaming, Daimler Truck has kept MB 228.5 under that number with unchanged requirements, as noted in the article on the MB 228.5 approval and its new designation. The data sheet of the oil on this page puts API CF, CF-4, CG-4, CAT ECF-1a and Cummins CES 20071, 20072 and 20075 only among recommendations for equipment with such requirements.
