Oil grade
Scania LDF stands for the Scania Long Drain
Field test standard. Scania LDF oils have been
carefully selected after extensive testing. The ap-
proval is only granted to the highest quality en-
gine oils available on the market.
Recommended oil
Scania Oil LDF
Scania Oil LDF-2
Scania Oil LDF-3
Scania Oil E7
The engine oil must fulfil the following quality
requirements:
• ACEA E5/API CI-4
• ACEA E7/API CI-4+
• For engines not run on low-sulphur fuel, the
TBN (Total Base Number) should be at least
12 (ASTM 2 896).
• Oils with a low ash content (ACEA E9/API
CJ4) are not recommended.
Check with your oil supplier that the oil meets
these requirements.
If the engine is used in areas of the world where
lubricating oil with ACEA or API classification
is not available, the oil grade must be measured
in actual operation. In this case contact the near-
est Scania workshop.
For operation at extremely low outdoor tempera-
tures: Consult your nearest Scania representative
on how to avoid starting difficulties.
