What is Scania LDF?
Scania LDF stands for the Scania Long Drain
Field test standard. Approved Scania LDF oils
have been carefully selected after extensive test-
ing. The approval is only granted to the highest
quality engine oils available on the market.
The engine oil must fulfil the following quality
requirements:
• ACEA E5/API CI-4
• ACEA E7/API CI-4+ for fuel with maximum
15 ppm sulphur content (0.0015%)
• 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.
