Description

Motul MULTIPOWER D-TURBO 15W-40 is a Technosynthese synthetic engine oil from the Multipower line. It is intended primarily for the diesel engines of SUVs, pick-ups, vans and passenger cars, including those fitted with exhaust gas recirculation (EGR).

The oil meets API CI-4 for diesels and API SL for petrol engines, so it is also suitable for petrol engines that require the SL level. No car-maker approvals are listed. Available in 7 litres.

Application

Diesel engines in SUVs, pick-ups, vans and passenger cars, including those with EGR, that need an API CI-4 oil, and petrol engines at API SL level.

Worth knowing

Of the three Motul 15W-40 oils in the catalogue, API CI-4 is recorded only here. 4000 MOTION 15W-40 instead has ACEA A3/B3, API SN and an official MB 229.1 approval, while Motul SAE 15W-40 has API CD and API SF. The figures are close: 14.7 mm²/s at 100 °C and a base number of 10.3 mg KOH/g for this oil, against 14.8 mm²/s and 9.8 mg KOH/g for 4000 MOTION and 14.5 mm²/s and 10.2 mg KOH/g for SAE 15W-40. Here the code decides, not the figures.

The EGR systems named in the data sheet should not be confused with a particulate filter. CI-4 appeared before CJ-4, the first class for diesels with such filters, as the article on API CI-4 and the later diesel classes explains, so for an engine with a filter the guide remains the class in the vehicle’s documentation. Do not take the neighbouring MULTIPOWER D-TURBO 10W-30 for the same oil in another viscosity: the newer edition of its data sheet describes use in engines requiring API CK-4 and gives a base number of 8.4 mg KOH/g.
