The oil might have been longer in there than 5000 km . The low TBN and 0.7soot point to that . 0.7weight % soot seems high for 5000km in a common rail engine.I'd expect this number for a mechanically governed diesel at that interval)...if the lab is right of course. I would not use flush at...

...or/and they did not want to sacrifice miles from the OCI.Either way ,C3 229.51 5w-40 with a reasonable OCI or even E6 228.51 10w-40 (if the climate allows it) is a better idea than a full-SAPS 5w-40.

Doesn't this engine require FORD M2C950-A?

The owners of this engine need to create a habit of observing the area around the injectors for signs of gas leaks. Due to certain cylinder head peculiarities leaking injectors seals can result in very costly repairs if not addressed immediately. For oil I'd go with a C3 (it is DPF...

OP, this is a VOA of D1 CI-4+ of 2013 (the formulation has not changed) from oilclub.ru Cat DEO-SYN 5w-40 was rebranded Delvac 1 5w-40 in its CG-4,CH-4 and CI-4+ formulations. http://s7d2.scene7.com/is/content/Caterpillar/PEHP7062-04 AFAIK the HT/HS visc. is 3.9cP for the CI-4+...

5 ;7 and 8 bar on various pre-chamber MB engines. Can be found on the oil pump or front side of the engine block on smaller displacement engines. This is for the oil pressure relief valves.

Can you shed some more light on your driving habits? Petronas Syntium has several versions in 5w-30 ,under 229.5 and MB 229.51;52 : https://bevo.mercedes-benz.com/bevo...isten&suchbegriff=petronas%20syntium The first UOA looks like being with 229.5 Syntium 5w-30, the second-with 229.51/52 ...

OP , use a UV light on the plastic bottle to find the date code and other codes.

Not true, edyvw . Concerning European Union LD you're at least 5 years off (and then EU is not the whole continent). Then we have different requirements for non-road machines(yes,they are different in US too),considerably lagging behind the on-road ones. As a curiosity - Austro AE-300/330...

Not quite so: https://bevo.mercedes-benz.com/d/d/en/Spec_223_2.pdf ..and DPF can be deleted. Then one can use even Heavy-Duty MB 228.5 oils... Those pre-2000 passenger car diesel MB engines will be around till the end of the world unless the legislators decide otherwise (and frankly these are...

Originally Posted by KiwiBiker Many oils have dual API ratings, e.g. a Penrite motorcycle oil that I use is SN / CF. I have recently started using a Penrite semi-synthetic oil, which is rated CH-4 / SL. Does the order of the gas and diesel ratings mean anything? ACEA Ax / Bx oils always start...

Originally Posted by 21Rouge I just picked up a case of this what I think is this oil but I see no "X1" anywhere on the box or bottle and there is no certifications listed (except for ACEA C3). (The M1 ESP X1 0W30 has a bevy of certifications shown in the online TDS eg 504/507). (I believe...
