Description

Mobil Delvac Super 1400 15W-40 is an oil for naturally aspirated and turbocharged diesels in trucks and off-highway machinery from European, Japanese and American makers.

Classes: API CH-4, SJ, CG-4, CF-4, CF, SH; the data sheet lists no manufacturer approvals. ExxonMobil recommends it where ACEA E3 or B2 is specified; without formal approval, the oil meets the requirements of MAN M 3275-1, Volvo VDS-2, Renault Trucks RD and Renault Trucks RD-2.

Base number 9.2 mg KOH/g, 14.6 mm²/s at 100 °C, viscosity index 136, pour point -36 °C.

Application

Naturally aspirated and turbocharged diesel engines from European, Japanese and American makers in light and heavy trucks and construction, mining, quarrying and agricultural machinery, as the owner's manual specifies.

Worth knowing

The 10-2024 edition of the data sheet on the Mobil site still named an MTU Oil Category 2 approval, while the 10-2026 edition no longer has that line: only the recommendations and compliance with API CH-4 and SJ remain. The 05-2024 data sheet of Mobil Delvac Legend 15W-40 Heavy Duty gives the MTU Oil Category 2 approval, and that is the oil Mobil’s table gives as the new name of Super 1400 15W-40. It is also a 15W-40 with API CH-4 and adds a DTFR 15B110 approval; its base number is lower, 8 against 9.2 mg KOH/g. For an MTU engine, check the status of both oils against MTU’s own specifications, which list the approved oils.

Among this data sheet’s recommendations is MAN M 3275-1: that number describes a normal-ash oil for truck and bus engines without a particulate filter, as the article on MAN, Volvo and Renault Trucks approvals explains.
