Description

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

Official approval: MTU Oil Category 1. ExxonMobil recommends it where Volvo VDS-2, Renault Trucks RD or Renault Trucks RD-2 is specified, and the oil meets those requirements without formal approval.

Base number 9.7 mg KOH/g, sulphated ash 1.1 %, 14.5 mm²/s at 100 °C, viscosity index 140, pour point -27 °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 data sheet for this oil gives no API or ACEA classes at all: only the MTU Oil Category 1 approval and three recommendations, Volvo VDS-2, Renault Trucks RD and RD-2. Its name is almost that of Super 1400 15W-40, yet that oil lacks MTU Oil Category 1 and has a pour point of -36 °C rather than -27 °C.

Among the Mobil oils in the catalogue, only Mobil Delvac XHP 15W-40 shares this approval, and all four of this oil’s codes are in its list too. The XHP list also includes API CH-4, API SH, ACEA B2, MAN M 3275-1 and Renault Trucks RLD; its pour point is -36 °C, but its base number is lower, 9.2 against 9.7 mg KOH/g. Among the typical figures for the 1400E the data sheet also gives a cold viscosity: 6,150 mPa·s at -20 °C, against a limit of 7,000 mPa·s for the 15W grade. MTU’s requirements rise with the category number, and for fuel with more than 0.5 % sulphur MTU requires a TBN above 8 mg KOH/g and shorter intervals, as described in the article on MTU categories and other codes for diesel machinery.
