Description

Mobil Delvac Modern 10W-40 Super Defense is a synthetic full-ash oil in the Mobil Delvac Modern range for truck and equipment diesels without a particulate filter; its API SL and SJ petrol categories allow its use in mixed fleets.

Official approvals: Volvo VDS-3, Renault Trucks RLD-2, Mack EO-N, Mack EO-M Plus, MTU Oil Category 2, Cummins CES 20076, 20077, 20078, DTFR 15B110. Categories: ACEA E7, A2, B2, API CI-4, CH-4, CG-4, CF-4, CF. Without formal approval the oil meets the requirements of CAT ECF-2, Cummins CES 20071, 20072, Detroit 7SE 270, MAN M 3275-1, Renault Trucks RLD, Volvo VDS-2.

Sulphated ash 1.15 %, base number 11.1 mg KOH/g, 14.8 mm²/s at 100 °C; it is not a low-ash oil.

Application

Naturally aspirated and turbocharged diesel engines in trucks and equipment without a particulate filter, on and off the road, including mixed fleets that also run petrol vehicles.

Worth knowing

The ash content of 1.15 % is close to the 1.0 % limit of the low-ash classes ACEA E8 and E11, but it does not make this oil low-ash: the data sheet lists E7, a class for older engines that ACEA does not recommend for Euro VI engines (more in the article on the ACEA classes in force). The letter B in the DTFR 15B110 approval points the same way: in Daimler Truck designations it belongs to oils for vehicles without a particulate filter.

This oil’s previous name in Mobil’s table is Mobil Delvac MX Extra 10W-40, and the figures in both data sheets are identical: 14.8 mm²/s at 100 °C, viscosity index 154, base number 11.1 mg KOH/g. The difference in the lists is small: ACEA B2 and MAN M 3275-1 are added here, both only as recommendations. API CF, CF-4, CG-4 and Detroit 7SE 270 are presented the same way, with the data sheet limiting Detroit to four-stroke engines. If the manual names MAN M 3277 or DTFR 15B120, those codes are not here: Mobil Delvac Modern 10W-40 Super Defense V1, with 1.6 % ash, holds both approvals.
