Description

Mobil Delvac Modern 5W-20 Advanced Protection is a synthetic reduced-viscosity oil (HTHS 2.7 mPa·s) for modern MAN and Scania truck and bus engines fitted with a particulate filter.

The oil holds official MAN M 3977 approval and meets the requirements of Scania LDF-5 without formal approval.

Typical figures: 8.2 mm²/s at 100 °C, pour point -42 °C, sulphated ash 0.9 %.

It is not intended for engines whose maker specifies older or different oil specifications.

Application

Modern MAN and Scania truck and bus engines with a particulate filter where MAN M 3977 or Scania LDF-5 is specified.

Worth knowing

MAN M 3977 and Scania LDF-5 appear among the Mobil oils in the catalogue only here, but the two codes have different status: the first is an official approval, the second is recorded as compliance. Shell Rimula R7 Plus AM 5W-20, for example, has both as approvals, and all the oils with LDF-5 are collected on the Scania LDF-5 page. Mobil’s comparison table gives Mobil Delvac XHP Ultra LE MN9 5W-20 as this oil’s previous name.

The words Advanced Protection in the name do not make the line’s 5W-30 oils interchangeable with this one. V6 carries MAN M 3677 and Scania LDF-4, SCA carries ACEA E6 and Scania LDF-4, so neither has a single code of this 5W-20. The figures differ too: 8.2 mm²/s at 100 °C against 11.56 and 11.6 mm²/s. HTHS here is 2.7 mPa·s, whereas in Mobil Delvac Ultra 5W-30 Fuel Efficient Plus, an API FA-4 oil, it is 3 mPa·s. The article on MAN and Scania approvals for trucks states that an M 3977 oil is not backward compatible and does not go in where M 3677 is required.
