Description

Mobil Delvac Synthetic ATF is a fully synthetic fluid in the Mobil Delvac range for conventional and hybrid automatic transmissions in trucks, buses, specialist vehicles and vans.

It holds official Allison TES 295 and Allison TES 468 approvals (licence AN-051005), MB 236.91, ZF TE-ML 04D, ZF TE-ML 14C, ZF TE-ML 16M, ZF TE-ML 20C and Voith H55.6336.39, plus Voith SB 013 and Voith SB 118 for extended drain intervals in DIWA transmissions.

Typical figures: 7.3 mm²/s at 100 °C, 39 mm²/s at 40 °C, viscosity index 168, pour point -54 °C, Brookfield viscosity at -40 °C 8,400 mPa·s.

Application

Conventional and hybrid automatic transmissions in trucks, buses, specialist vehicles, tippers and vans where Allison TES 295, TES 468 or MB 236.91 is required.

Worth knowing

This fluid’s typical figures match the data sheet of Mobil Delvac 1 ATF to the digit: 39 and 7.3 mm²/s at 40 and 100 °C, viscosity index 168, pour point -54 °C, flash point 236 °C. They also share some approvals: both Allison codes, Voith SB 013 and SB 118, and four ZF TE-ML codes. The difference is in the rest of the list. This one has MB 236.91 and Voith H55.6336.39, while Delvac 1 ATF has DTFR 13C180, Voith H55.6336.xx, MAN 339 Type V2, Z12 and Z3 instead, as well as ZF TE-ML 03M, 16S and 25C. Of the four fluids in the catalogue that mention MB 236.91, only this one holds an official approval under that sheet; the other three claim only compliance.

The TES 295 and TES 468 approvals in the Allison list remain valid, although for on-road gearboxes the maker recommends the newer TES 668 specification. Mobil Delvac 1 ATF 668 has it, but that fluid’s approvals include no ZF, Voith or MB codes. For how to read ZF, Voith and Allison codes, see the article on what gear oil approvals mean.
