OIL GRADE LABELS
When changing oil it is important to use the correct en-
gine oil grade. The oil filler should therefore be clear -
ly marked with a label for the filled oil grade. However,
there are only labels for oils with Scania LDF approval
and oil grade ACEA E7.
Stick on a new label if the oil type or oil grade is changed
in favour of any of the oil types above. Replace the label
if it is missing.
If the oil grades below are used, you can order oil filler
labels from your Nanni representative.

OIL ANALYSIS
To be able to extend the oil change intervals using an
oil analysis, Scania LDF-3 and LDF-2 oils must be used.
Certain laboratories offer engine oil analysis.
The following conditions must remain fulfilled when the
oil is changed:
• Viscosity at 100°C (212°F): max. ±20% of original value
of the fresh oil.
• TBN (in accordance with ASTM D4739): > 3.5.
• TBN (in accordance with ASTM D4739): >
TAN (in accordance with ASTM D664).
• Soot (according to DIN 51452): <3%.
• Fuel in the oil: <5%.
Such analysis measures the oil’s TBN (Total Base Num-
ber), TAN (Total Acid Number), fuel dilution, water con-
tent, viscosity and the quantity of particles and soot in
the oil.
The result of a series of analyses is used as the basis
for establishing a suitable oil change interval.
If the conditions are changed, a new oil analysis pro-
gramme must be carried out to establish new oil change
intervals. Work out the new oil change interval for the
engine in conjunction with the workshop.
REQUIREMENT !
Only Scania LDF oils may be used in conjunction with
oil analysis and a possible extended oil change interval.
Depending on the market, the warranty conditions may
also change if the oil change intervals differ from the
recommended Scania timetable.
