Description

Mobil Delvac Legend Commercial Vehicle 10W-30 is a part-synthetic multigrade oil for turbocharged diesels of European and American manufacture. It is used in light and heavy trucks on both long-haul routes and short delivery runs.

The oil meets API CH-4 and SJ. ExxonMobil also recommends it where the older API CG-4, CF-4, CF, SH, SG and SF categories are specified, and it meets the requirements of Volvo VDS-2 without formal approval.

Typical figures: 11.7 mm²/s at 100 °C, viscosity index 141, pour point -36 °C, base number 8.9 mg KOH/g, sulphated ash 1.1 %.

Application

Turbocharged European and American diesels in light and heavy trucks, both on long-haul routes and on short pick-up and delivery runs.

Worth knowing

The European Mobil Delvac renaming table shows this oil as the new name of Mobil Delvac Super 1400 10W-30, and in the catalogue the entries for the two oils are almost identical: the same eight API classes, the same Volvo VDS-2 compliance, the same seven typical figures, from 80 mm²/s at 40 °C to a base number of 8.9 mg KOH/g. The data sheet for Mobil Delvac Super 1400 10W-30 adds little more than Noack volatility, 10.7 %. There is no other 10W-30 from this brand with Volvo VDS-2 in the catalogue.

The list shows no ACEA class and no official approval from a truck maker, and the highest diesel class here is API CH-4; on the engine maker’s recommendation it can stand in for CF-4 and CG-4 (more in the article on the API CH-4 class and its requirements). That is not enough for an engine whose manual calls for ACEA E11, API CK-4 or Volvo VDS-4.5: Mobil Delvac MX ESP 10W-30, for example, has such codes.
