Worth knowing

The word Extra does not make this oil close to Mobil Delvac XHP Extra 10W-40. The viscosity at 100 °C is almost the same (14.8 and 14.6 mm²/s), but the base number here is 11.1 mg KOH/g against 15.3, and the sulphated ash 1.15 % against 1.6 %. Four approvals are shared: Volvo VDS-3, Renault Trucks RLD-2, Mack EO-N and Mack EO-M Plus. This oil also holds Cummins CES 20076, CES 20077, CES 20078, DTFR 15B110 and MTU Oil Category 2, while that one has MAN M 3277, MTU Oil Category 3 and Voith Class A.

The data sheet divides the remaining codes into two groups. API CI-4, CH-4, SL, SJ, ACEA E7 and CAT ECF-2 are given as “meets or exceeds”; ACEA A2, API CG-4, CF-4, CF, Cummins CES 20071, CES 20072, Renault Trucks RLD, Volvo VDS-2 and Detroit 7SE 270 are only recommendations, the last limited to four-stroke engines. Under the new name, Mobil Delvac Modern 10W-40 Super Defense, ACEA B2 and MAN M 3275-1 join the recommendations. What the B in DTFR 15B110 means and how the Volvo, Renault Trucks and Mack codes are linked is explained in the article on truck and bus approvals.
