Description

Mobil Delvac 1630 (SAE 30) is a monograde oil for the diesels of trucks and construction, quarrying and agricultural equipment, and for mixed fleets running diesel and petrol vehicles side by side. The data sheet also lists it for transmissions requiring Allison C-4 or ZF TE-ML 04B.

The oil holds official MTU Oil Category 2 and ZF TE-ML 04B approvals. ExxonMobil recommends it where ACEA E2, API CF or API SF is specified; it meets the requirements of Allison C-4 and MAN 270 without formal approval.

Typical figures: 11.5 mm²/s at 100 °C, viscosity index 117, pour point -30 °C, base number 12 mg KOH/g, sulphated ash 1.4 %.

Application

Diesels in light and heavy trucks, construction, quarrying and agricultural equipment and mixed diesel and petrol fleets where a monograde oil is specified; also transmissions calling for Allison C-4 or ZF TE-ML 04B.

Worth knowing

In the data sheet for the Mobil Delvac 1600 series, Allison C-4 compliance is marked for SAE 30 only. Mobil Delvac 1640 has the same ACEA E2, MAN 270 and the MTU Oil Category 2 and ZF TE-ML 04B approvals, but no Allison code among them. Among the other Mobil SAE 30 oils in the catalogue, only Delvac Legend 1330 has Allison C-4, and again only as a compliance claim, not an approval; it lacks ACEA E2, MAN 270 and both approvals.

Two oils in the catalogue hold the ZF TE-ML 04B approval: this one and Delvac 1640. The number 04 in the ZF classification belongs to the list for marine gearboxes, and the letter after the number denotes the lubricant class within that list. The article on gear oil approvals explains how to decode such ZF codes and why “Allison C-4” on a can of ATF almost always follows the word “meets”.
