Description

Mobil Delvac 1640 (SAE 40) is a monograde oil for the diesels of trucks, construction, quarrying and agricultural equipment and mixed fleets. The data sheet also mentions Wartsila approval for four-stroke medium-speed engines running on distillate fuel or in dual-fuel mode.

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 MAN 270 without formal approval.

Typical figures: 14.1 mm²/s at 100 °C, viscosity index 112, pour point -21 °C, base number 12 mg KOH/g, sulphated ash 1.4 %.

Application

Diesels in trucks, construction, quarrying and agricultural equipment and mixed fleets where a monograde oil is specified; also four-stroke medium-speed Wartsila engines on distillate fuel or in dual-fuel mode.

Worth knowing

Among the monograde Mobil SAE 40 oils in the catalogue, only this one holds the MTU Oil Category 2 approval; the list for Mobil Delvac 1340 is limited to API CF and SF. In the MTU system the categories run from 1 to 3.1: a higher number means stricter requirements, and “.1” marks a low-ash oil. Category 2 is not low-ash; the sulphated ash on the data sheet is 1.4 %.

For fuel containing more than 0.5 % sulphur, MTU requires an oil with a base number above 8 mg KOH/g and shorter change intervals; this oil’s base number is 12 mg KOH/g. Its list differs from that of Delvac 1630 by one code: the series data sheet does not mark Allison C-4 compliance for SAE 40. Other oils in this category, whether approved or claimed to comply, are listed on the MTU Oil Category 2 page, and the MTU categories alongside the Cummins, CAT and Deutz codes are covered in the article on oil for tractors and excavators.
