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-4.
The engine oil must fulfil the following quality
requirements:
• ACEA E6.
• ACEA E9
• API CJ4.
Check with your oil supplier that the oil meets
these requirements.
If Scania Oil LDF-4 is not used, the oil must be
of a viscosity class suitable for the outdoor tem-
perature in the area where the engine is used.
For operation at extremely low outdoor tempera-
tures: Consult your nearest Scania representative
on how to avoid starting difficulties.
If the engine is used in areas of the world where
engine oil with ACEA or API classification is
not available, the oil grade must be measured in
actual operation. In this case contact the nearest
Scania workshop.
