Hi All,
First post in the forum, I have been reading you guys for a while, nice atmosphere!
I am looking for a bit of advice. I need to change the oil and I am considering these 3 alternatives:
Eurol Actene 5W30
Density at 20°C : 0.8468 kg/l
Viscosity, kinematic at 40°C: 69.7 cSt
Viscosity, kinematic at 100°C: 12.1 cSt
Viscosity Index: 172
Viscosity, dynamic (CCS) Base number: 7.8 mg KOH/g
Sulphated ash: 0.51 wt%
Flash point : 209 °C
Pour point: -42 °C
Motul Secific 0720 5W-30
Density at 20°C (68°F) : 0.850
Viscosity at 40°C (104°F): 68.1 mm2/s
Viscosity at 100°C (212°F): 11.9 mm2 /s
HTHS viscosity at 150°C (302°F): 3.6 mPa.s
Viscosity Index: 172
Pour point: -36°C / -32.8°F
Flash point: 224°C / 435.2°F
Sulfated ash: 0.49 % weight
TBN: 6.0 mg KOH/g
ELF Solaris 5W30 ( I found the tech specs in here )
TBN 7,17
TAN 1,63
Ash 0,47
PP -46C
FP(open) 242C
CSS -30C 5683
NOACK 9,5
Sulfur 0,129%
It is obviously for a diesel engine with DPF. I change the oil myself so the difference in price is not an issue. The Eurol is considerably cheaper than the other two, and it has the highest TBN... I am confused. Which is one is the best based on the tech specs?
Thank you!
