Oil analysis
To be able to extend the oil change intervals us-
ing an oil analysis, Scania LDF-2 and LDF-3 oils
must be used. Most oil companies offer analysis
of the engine oil.
The following conditions must remain ful-
filled 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 (in accordance with DIN 51452): < 3%.
Such analysis measures the oil's TBN (Total
Base Number), TAN (Total Acid Number), fuel
dilution, water content, viscosity and the quanti-
ty of particles and soot in the oil. A suitable oil
change interval is determined based on a series
of oil analyses.
If the conditions are changed, a new series of oil
analyses must be carried out to establish new oil
change intervals.
Checking oil level
Leave the engine off for at least 7 minutes before
you check the oil level.
1. Remove the oil dipstick and check the oil
level. The correct level is between the mini-
mum and maximum marks on the oil dip-
stick.
2. Fill with more oil via the oil filler if the oil
level is at or below the minimum mark.
For information on the correct oil type, see the
section Oil grade
