Typical characteristics

Manufacturer's description

PETRONAS Arbor Alfaprime Synth 10W-40 is a premium engine oil dedicated to agricultural and construction machinery, protecting against oxidation, decomposition and wear while keeping optimal piston cleanliness and viscosity stability for a longer life-cycle. It is a low SAPS oil suitable for Tier IV and Stage V heavy-duty diesel applications, including modern low-emission engines with DPF, SCR, DOC and EGR after-treatment, and also older turbocharged and naturally aspirated engines on high or ultra-low sulphur diesel and biodiesel. Compliant with the latest CK-4 requirements, it offers optimised performance for extended drain intervals and is fully backward compatible with previous E6-16, E7-16 and E9-16 classifications, suiting AGCO, Bobcat, Caterpillar, Doosan, Hitachi, Hyundai, John Deere, Liebherr, Renault Tractors, Same Deutz Fahr, Sumitomo and Volvo CE machinery. It meets API CK-4, CJ-4, ACEA E7, E8, E11, CAT ECF-3/ECF-2/ECF-1a and JASO DH-2 specifications, with Deutz DQC IV-18 LA, DTFR 15C120, MTU Oil Category 3.1 and Renault RLD-3 approvals, plus Volvo VDS-4.5, Cummins CES 20086/20081, Detroit Diesel DFS93K222/218, MAN M3775, MB 228.51/228.52/228.31 and Volvo VDS-4 performance levels.

Applications

• PETRONAS Arbor Alfaprime Synth 10W-40 is a low-SAPS oil suitable for Tier IV and Stage V heavy-duty diesel applications.
• Including modern, high-output, low-emission engines fitted with emission control systems using DPF, SCR, DOC and EGR technologies.
• It is also suitable for older turbocharged and naturally aspirated diesel engine generations running on high- or ultra-low-sulphur diesel and biodiesel.
• Its formulation, compliant with the latest CK-4 requirements, offers optimized performance over an extended drain interval, and is fully backward compatible with the previous E6-16, E7-16 and E9-16 classifications.
• Suitable for all makes and brands recommending a minimum performance level of ACEA E6, E9, E8, E11, API CJ-4 or API CK-4.
• Including AGCO (Massey Ferguson, Fendt, Valtra, Challenger), Bobcat, Caterpillar, Doosan, Hitachi, Hyundai, John Deere, Liebherr, Renault Tractors, Same Deutz-Fahr, Sumitomo and Volvo CE.

Performance & benefits

• Maintains oil at optimal viscosity levels, delivering optimal lubrication to prevent unplanned breakdowns.
• Better fluid-film resistance under severe mechanical stress, delivering enhanced engine durability.
• Optimal protection for emission after-treatment systems such as DPF and DOC, thanks to a low-ash additive system.
• Reduces the acidic levels that lead to corrosion, making engines more durable and longer-lived.
• Enhanced thermal and oxidation stability at high temperature, providing viscosity stability and preventing the formation of deposits and sludge, to prolong oil life even under severe conditions.
• Effectively combats high concentrations of soot build-up, critical to prevent loss of vehicle horsepower.
• Excellent low-temperature viscosity for improved lubrication during start-up.
