Fluids and lubricants for drive plants may be hazardous materials. Certain regulations must be obeyed when handling, storing and disposing of these substances.
These regulations are contained in the manufacturers' instructions, legal requirements and technical guidelines valid in the individual countries. Great differences can apply from country to country and a generally valid guide to applicable regulations for fluids and lubricants is therefore not possible within this publication.
Users of the products named in these specifications are therefore obliged to inform themselves of the locally valid regulations. MTU accepts no responsibility whatsoever for improper or illegal use of the flu-ids and lubricants which it has approved.
Preservation All information on preservation, re-preservation and de-preservation including the approved preserva-tives is available in the MTU Preservation and Re-preservation Specifications (publication number A001070/...). The latest version is also available at:

2 Lubricants for Four-Cycle Engines
2.1 Engine oils
Dispose of used fluids and lubricants in accordance with local regulations.
Used oil must never be disposed of via the combustion engine!
Requirements of the engine oils for MTU approval The MTU requirements for approval of engine oils for diesel engines are contained in the MTU Factory Standards MTL 5044 and MTL 5051 for first-use oils and corrosion-inhibiting oils. For gas engines, oil approval requirements are contained in MTU Factory Standard MTL 5074 and for two-cycle engines in MTL 5111. These standards can be ordered under these reference numbers.
Manufacturers of engine oils are notified in writing if their product is approved.
Approved diesel engine oils are divided into the following MTU Quality Categories:
• Oil category 1: Standard quality / Single and multigrade oils
• Oil category 2: Higher quality / Single and multigrade oils
• Oil category 2.1: Multigrade oils with a low ash-forming additive content (low SAPS oils)
• Oil category 3: Highest quality / Multigrade oils
• Oil category 3.1: Multigrade oils with a low ash-forming additive content (low SAPS oils)
Low SAPS oils are oils with a low sulfur and phosphor content and an ash-forming additive content of ≤1%.
They are only approved if the sulfur content in the fuel does not exceed 50 mg/kg. When using diesel particle filters, it is advisable to use these oils to avoid fast coating of the filter with ash particles.
Selection of a suitable engine oil is based on fuel quality, projected oil drain interval and on-site climatic conditions. At present there is no international industrial standard which alone takes into account all these criteria.
The use of engine oils not approved by MTU can mean that statutory emission limits can no longer be observed. This can be a punishable offense.
Mixing different engine oils is strictly prohibited!
Changing to another oil grade can be done together with an oil change. The remaining oil quantity in the engine oil system is not critical in this regard.
This procedure also applies to MTU's own engine oils in the regions Europe, Middle East, Africa, America and Asia.
When changing to an engine oil in Category 3, note that the improved cleaning effect of these engine oils can result in the loosening of engine contaminants (e.g. carbon depos-its).
It may be necessary therefore to reduce the oil change interval and oil filter service life (one time during change).

Engine oil approvals upon customer request for applications in Series 956 TB 31, TB32, TB33, TB34
The engine oil must have valid MTU approval as per MTL 5044 and a quality level of oil category 2 or 3.
For customer certification, an engine test run under the following conditions is required:
• Engine runtime with specific oil: min. 50 hours (30 hours of which at min. 100% power)
• Then endopscopic examination of combustion chambers.
• Disassembly of 4 pistons (2 on engine A-side and 2 on engine B-side) for detailed results.
Engine oils for engines with exhaust aftertreatment Engines with exhaust aftertreatment place special demands on the oils used to guarantee the opera-tional reliability and service life of the exhaust system and the engine.
Depending on the technology used for exhaust aftertreatment, the following oils can be used.

Table 4:
1) = individual test possible for optional and retrofitted exhaust aftertreatment systems
The use of engine oils of categories 1, 2 and 3 (with ash content >1%) on plants with exhaust aftertreatment results in a significantly reduced service life of the exhaust after-treatment system and, with particulate filters, increased back pressure.
For EPA Tier 4i or Tier 4 and EU IIIb-certified engines with exhaust aftertreatment, only low-ash engine oils of category 2.1 or 3.1 are permitted.
Any possible restrictions related to engine requirements must also be observed.
Selection of viscosity grades Selection of the viscosity grade is based primarily on the ambient temperature at which the engine is to be started and operated. If the relevant performance criteria are observed the engines can be operated both with single grade and multigrade oils, depending on the application. Standard values for the tem-perature limits in each viscosity grade are shown in (→ Figure 1).
If the prevailing temperature is too low, the engine oil must be preheated.

Oil drain intervals for diesel engines Engine oil drain intervals depend on the engine-oil quality, its conditioning, the operating conditions and the fuel used.
The intervals quoted (Table) are guidelines based on operational experience and are valid for applica-tions with a standard load profile.
Oil change intervals
Oil category Without centrifugal oil filter With centrifugal oil filter or by-pass filter
1 250 operating hours 500 operating hours 2 500 operating hours 1000 operating hours
2.11) 500 operating hours 1000 operating hours
3 750 operating hours 1500 operating hours
3.11) 750 operating hours 1500 operating hours
Table 5:
1) = To be used in conjunction with fuels with max. 50 mg/kg sulfur content.
The oil drain intervals in the table are recommended guidelines when using diesel fuels with < 0.5% sul-fur content. The defined limit values for the used oil (→ Table 6) must be observed. The numbers of operating hours quoted for oils must be confirmed by means of oil analysis.
The oil drain intervals must be determined by oil analysis if one or more of the following difficult operat-ing conditions are encountered:
• Extreme climatic conditions
• High engine start-up frequency
• Frequent and prolonged idling or low-load operation
• High fuel sulfur content of 0.5 to 1.5% by weight (see "Use of High-Sulfur Fuel")
For applications involving low runtimes, the engine oil must be changed every two years at the latest irrespective of its category.
Where engine oils with higher-grade corrosion-inhibiting characteristics are in use (→ Page 84), a change must be carried out every 3 years at the latest.
In individual cases the service life of the engine oil can be optimized by regular laboratory analysis and appropriate engine inspections in consultation with the MTU service point responsible:
The first oil sample should be taken from the engine as a "basic sample" after the engine has run for approximately 1 hour after being filled with fresh oil.
Further samples are to be analyzed at specific intervals (see "Laboratory Analysis").
The appropriate engine inspections are to be carried out before and after the oil analyses.
After completion of all analyses, and depending on the findings, special agreements can be reached for individual cases.
Oil samples must always be taken under the same conditions and at the point provided for that purpose (see Operating Instructions).
Special additives Engine oils approved have been specially developed for diesel engines and have all necessary proper-ties. Further additives are therefore superfluous and may even be harmful.
Laboratory analysis
Spectrometric oil analysis Analysis of the engine oil's additive-metal content is carried out by the MTU laboratory to determine the brand of oil.

MTU does not generally analyze the oil's wear-metal contents in order to determine the degree of en-gine wear. These content levels are very much dependent on the following factors, among others:
• Individual engine equipment status
• Tolerance scatter
• Operating conditions
• Duty profile
• Fluids and lubricants
• Miscellaneous assembly materials
Unambiguous conclusions as to the wear status of the engine components involved are therefore not possible. This means that no limit values can be given for wear-metal contents.
Used-oil analysis In order to check the used oil, it is recommended that regular oil analyses be carried out. Oil samples should be taken and analyzed at least once per year and during each oil change and under certain con-ditions, depending on application and the engine's operating conditions, sampling / analysis should take place more frequently.
The specified test methods and limit values (Analytical Limit Values for Used Diesel Engine Oils) (→ Table 6) indicate when the results of an individual oil sample analysis are to be regarded as abnor-mal.
An abnormal result requires immediate investigation and remedy of the abnormality.
The limit values relate to individual oil samples. When these limit values are reached or exceeded, an immediate oil change is necessary. The results of the oil analysis do not necessarily give an indication of the wear status of particular components.
In addition to the analytical limit values, the engine condition, its operating condition and any operation-al faults are decisive factors with regard to oil changes.
Some of the signs of oil deterioration are:
• Abnormally heavy deposits or precipitates in the engine or engine-mounted parts such as oil filters, centrifugal oil filters or separators, especially in comparison with the previous analysis.
• Abnormal discoloration of components.

2.3 Lubricating greases
Requirements The MTU conditions for lubricating-grease approval are specified in the MTU Factory Standard MTL 5050, which can be ordered under this reference number.
Grease manufacturers are notified in writing if their product is approved by MTU.
Lubricating greases for general applications Lithium-saponified greases are to be used for all lubrication points with the exception of:
• Emergency-air shutoff flaps fitted between turbocharger and intercooler (see Special-purpose lubri-cants)
• Coupling internal centering
Lubricating greases for applications at high temperatures High-temperature grease (up to 250 °C) must be used for emergency-air shutoff flaps located between turbocharger and intercooler:
• Aero Shell Grease 15
• Optimol Inertox Medium
General purpose greases suffice for emergency-air shutoff flaps located before the turbocharger or af-ter the intercooler.
Greases for internal centerings of couplings Greases for internal centerings:
• Esso Unirex N3 (stable up to approx. 160 °C)
Special-purpose lubricants
Oil for turbochargers Exhaust turbochargers with integrated oil supply are generally connected to the engine oil system.
For ABB turbochargers which are not connected to the engine lube oil system, mineral-based turbine oils with viscosity grade ISO-VG 68 must be used.
Lubricating greases for curved tooth couplings Depending on the application, the following lubricants have been approved for curved tooth couplings:
• - Klüber: Structovis BHD MF (highly viscous lubricating oil)
• - Klüber: Klüberplex GE11–680 (adhesive transmission lubricant)
Guidelines on use and service life are contained in the relevant Operating Instructions and Maintenance Schedules.

3 Lubricants for Gas Engines
3.1 Engine oils
Dispose of used fluids and lubricants in accordance with local regulations.
Mixing different engine oils is strictly prohibited!
Changing to another oil grade can be done together with an oil change. The remaining oil quantity in the engine oil system is not critical in this regard.
Engine oil requirements for gas engines Viscosity grade SAE 40 is stipulated for gas engines!
Multigrade oils are not permitted!
The selection of a suitable engine oil for gas engines depends primarily on the composition of the fuel used to power the engine. The gas engine must only be operated with approved lube oil. The engine oils to be used must be taken from the table (→ Page 113). Another significant factor is the quality of the gas regarding its purity. This requires that the operator regularly carries out gas checks. The gas engine oils to be used are characterized by the lowest possible ash content. This prevents increased ash de-posits which can lead to reduced catalytic converter performance or combustion knocking.
Oil drain intervals for gas engines Series 4000 Engine oil drain intervals depend on the engine-oil quality, its conditioning, the operating conditions and the fuel used.
For this reason, an oil sample must be taken every 250 operating hours and the oil analysis must be compared to the limit values (→ Table 8). The oil samples must always be taken under the same site conditions (engine at operation temperature) and at the designated point (extraction nozzle on oil filter housing). When the limit values (→ Table 8) are reached or exceeded, an immediate oil change is neces-sary. When using increased oil volumes, the limit values for wear elements must be reduced inversely proportionally to the volume increase (see following example).
Double oil volume = halved limit value of the wear element (e.g. iron (Fe) --> 15 mg/kg)
The maximum permissible reduction of limit value for the wear elements is 50% of the limit value (→ Table 8)
The results of the oil analyses must be archived and the last respective oil sample must be stored for any necessary follow-up examinations.
If the limit values are not achieved, an oil change must be carried out after one year at the latest.
Special gas During operation with gases containing silicium, take particular note of the increased silicium content in the oil. For this purpose, the silicium operational value SiB must be calculated with the help of the for-mula below (→ Figure 3). The limit value for the silicium operational value is 0.01. If this value is exceed-ed, the engine is being operated outside the fuel specifications and the warranty becomes void. More details can be obtained in the chapter "Fluids and lubricants for gas engines" (→ Page 73). The compre-hensive observance of SiB must be verified by the operating company with the help of oil analyses Si(n).

If the permissible limit values for chlorine, fluorine, sulfur and silicium compounds in the fuel are ex-ceeded, this can result in corrosive wear, combustion chamber deposits and accelerated reduction of the alkaline lube oil reserve.
In this case, gas conditioning is absolutely necessary.

5 Coolants
5.1 General information
Coolant definition
Engine coolant = coolant additive (concentrate) + freshwater to predefined mixing ratio ready for use in engine.
The corrosion-inhibiting effect of coolant is only ensured with the coolant circuit fully filled. The only exception is Oil 9156, which maintains its corrosion-inhibiting character even when the coolant was drained due to oil-film formation in the circuit.
Apart from that, only the corrosion inhibitors approved for internal preservation of the coolant circuit provide proper corrosion protection when the medium was drained. This means that after draining the coolant the cooling circuit must be preserved if no more coolant is to be filled. The procedure is descri-bed in the MTU Preservation specifications A001070/.. of the engine.
Coolants must be prepared from suitable freshwater and an MTU-approved coolant additive. Condition-ing of the coolant takes place outside the engine.
Mixing of different coolant additives and supplementary additives is prohibited!
The conditions for the approval of coolant additives are specified in the following MTU works standards
(MTL):
• MTL 5047: Emulsifiable corrosion-inhibiting oils
• MTL 5048: Corrosion-inhibiting antifreeze
• MTL 5049: Water-soluble corrosion inhibitors
Coolant manufacturers are informed in writing if their product is approved by MTU.
To prevent cooling system damage:
• When topping up (following loss of coolant) it must be ensured that not only water but also concen-trate is added. The specified antifreeze and/or corrosion inhibitor concentration must be maintained.
• Do not use concentrations of corrosion-inhibiting additives exceeding 55% by volume (max. anti-freeze protection). Concentrations in excess of this reduce antifreeze protection and heat dissipa-tion. Only exception: BASF G206 (special application)
• The coolant must not contain any oil or copper residue (in solid or dissolved form).
• The majority of corrosion inhibitors currently approved for internal coolant circuit preservation are water-soluble and do not provide antifreeze protection. Make sure that the engine is stored safe from frost, because a certain amount of coolant remains in the engine after draining.
• A coolant circuit can not usually be drained completely, i.e. residual quantities of used coolant or freshwater from a flushing procedure remain in the engine. These residual quantities can result in the dilution of a coolant to be filled (mixed from a concentrate or use of a ready mixture). This dilution effect is higher the more add-on components there are on the engine. Check the coolant concentra-tion in the coolant circuit and adapt it if necessary.
All coolants approved in these Fluids and Lubricants Specifications generally relate only to the coolant circuit of MTU engines. In the case of complete propulsion plants, the operating fluids approvals of the component manufacturer must be observed!
For corrosion-related reasons, it is not permissible to operate an engine with pure water with-out the addition of an approve corrosion inhibitor!

5.2 Unsuitable materials in the coolant circuit
Components made of copper, zinc and brass materials Unless various preconditions are observed, components made of copper, zinc and brass materials in the coolant circuit can cause an electrochemical reaction in conjunction with base metals (e.g. alumi-num). As a result, components made of base metals are subject to corrosion or even corrosive pitting.
The coolant circuit becomes leaky at these points.
Requirements Based on current knowledge, the following materials and coatings must not be used in an engine cool-ant circuit because negative mutual reactions can occur even with approved coolant additives.
Metallic materials
• no galvanized surfaces
The entire cooling system must be free of zinc components. This also applies to coolant supply and drain lines as well as to storage containers.
• No copper-based alloys a material with the use of coolant containing nitrite, with the exception of the following to alloys:
– CuNi10Fe1Mn corresponds to CW-352-H
– CuNi30Mn1Fe corresponds to CW-354-H
• Do not use components containing brass in the coolant circuit (e.g. coolers made of CuZn30) if ex-posed to ammoniacal solutions (e.g. amines, ammonium, ...) and solutions containing nitrite or sul-fide. Stress-corrosion cracking is possible in the presence of tensile stress and a critical potential area. "Solutions" refer to cleaning agents, coolant and similar substances.
Non-metallic materials
• Do not use EPDM and no silicon elastomers when using emulsifiable corrosion inhibitor oils or other types of oil introduced to the coolant circuit.
Information:
In case of doubt about the use of materials on the engine and add-on components / components in coolant circuits, consultation with the respective MTU specialist department must be held.

5.3 Freshwater requirements
Only clean, clear water with values in accordance with those in the following table must be used for preparing the coolant. If the limit values for the water are exceeded, hardness or mineral content can be decreased by adding de-mineralized water.
For preparation of aqueous corrosion inhibitors and corrosion-inhibiting antifreeze:
Item Minimum Maximum Sum of alkaline earth metals *) (Water hardness)
0 mmol/l 0°d
2.7 mmol/l 15°d pH-value at 20 °C 6.5 8.0 Chloride ions 100 mg/l Sulfate ions 100 mg/l Anions total 200 mg/l Bacteria 103CFU (colony forming unit) Fungi, yeasts are not permitted!
Table 14:
*) Common designations for water hardness in various countries:
1 mmol/l = 5.6°d = 100 mg/kg CaCO³
• 1°d = 17.9 mg/kg CaCO³, USA hardness
• 1°d = 1.79° French hardness
• 1°d = 1.25° English hardness
For preparation of emulsifiable corrosion inhibitors:
Item Minimum Maximum Sum of alkaline earth metals *) (Water hardness)
0.36 mmol/l 2°d
1.8 mmol/l 10°d pH-value at 20 °C 7.0 8.0 Chloride ions 100 mg/l Sulfate ions 100 mg/l Anions total 200 mg/l Bacteria 103CFU (colony forming unit) Fungi, yeasts are not permitted!

• 1°d = 17.9 mg/kg CaCO³, USA hardness
• 1°d = 1.79° French hardness
• 1°d = 1.25° English hardness
If the water is too soft, this can result on foam formation and the water has to be hardened before ap-plication by adding hard water. If the water is too hard, this impairs the emulsion stability. This causes increased oil separation and the formation of deposits in the system. Excessively hard water must therefore be softened by blending with soft water.

5.4 Emulsifiable corrosion-inhibiting oils
Emulsifiable corrosion-inhibiting oils Emulsions of MTU-approved corrosion-inhibiting oils (1.0 – 2.0% by volume) and suitable freshwater (→ Page 26) provide adequate corrosion protection.
A 2% by volume concentration must be used for initial filling.
The required quantity of corrosion-inhibiting oil is best mixed in advance in a container with 4 to 5 times the amount of freshwater and then added to the coolant when the engine is running at operating tem-perature.
In maintenance stations or multi-engine installations the complete amount of coolant required should be prepared in a separate container. It can then be used for initial filling or replenishment as required.
Under unfavorable conditions, individual cases of bacterial attack may occur in the emulsifiable corrosion-inhibiting oils. Treat the coolant emulsion with biocide in this case! Refer to chapter "Flushing and cleaning specifications for engine cooling circuits" (→ Page 155).
Note:
Slight precipitation may occur where coolant emulsions are used. This is shown by a layer on the sur-face of the coolant in the expansion tank. This is of no significance provided that the emulsion concen-tration remains within the specified limit values. Change the coolant in the event of a sudden drop in coolant additive concentration or if the additive is no longer absorbed. If necessary, the engine coolant chambers are to be cleaned, see the chapter "Flushing and cleaning specifications for engine coolant circuits" (→ Page 155).
Emulsifiable corrosion-inhibiting oils must not be used in engines of the following series:
• Series 099
• Series 183
• Series 2000
• Series 396
• Series 4000
• Series S60
• Two-cycle engines
The series with application approval for emulsifiable corrosion inhibitor oils are listed in the chapter "Approved coolants" (→ Page 117).
For the following listed serial numbers of the Series 20V 956 TB33 up to year of manufacture end of 2008 (as per identification plate), only emulsifiable corrosion inhibitor oil must be used:

5.5 Corrosion-inhibiting antifreezes
These antifreezes are necessary for engines without heating facilities and operating in areas where be-low-freezing temperatures may occur.
Most of the corrosion-inhibiting antifreezes approved at MTU are based on ethylene glycol.
Exceptions:
• Ready mixture of Fleetguard PG XL based on propylene glycol (→ Page 154)
• Concentrate BASF G206 as a mixture of ethylene glycol and propylene glycol
Provided that they are used in approved concentrations, corrosion-inhibiting antifreezes approved by MTU provide effective protection, see Operational monitoring (→ Page 31).
The corrosion-inhibiting antifreeze concentration must be determined not only in accordance with the minimum anticipated temperatures but with the corrosion protection requirements also.
For approved coolant additives for the individual engine series, refer to chapter "Approved cool-ants" (→ Page 117).
Special approval presently in effect remain valid.
Coolant additives containing nitrite must not be used in conjunction with coolers that contain brass!
Marine engines are subject to the following limitations when using corrosion-inhibiting antifreezes:
• Series 956-01, 956-02, 1163-02, 1163-03, 1163-04:
These engines are fitted with heating units. Because of their cooler capacity, corrosion-inhibiting anti-freezes must not be used.
• Series 099, 183, 396:
The use of corrosion-inhibiting antifreeze in these engines is permitted only at seawater tempera-tures of up to 20 °C maximum.
• Series 2000 and 4000:
Corrosion-inhibiting antifreeze may be used with these engines with installed heat exchanger at sea-water temperatures up to 25 °C max.The use of corrosion-inhibiting antifreezes is generally not al-lowed on engines with no installed heat exchanger.Ensure that the heat exchanger not installed on the engine is sufficiently dimensioned.
• Series 538, 595 and 8000:
The use of corrosion-inhibiting antifreezes is not allowed for these engines.
The possibility of using corrosion-inhibiting antifreezes for the above-mentioned series for other applica-tions (e.g. genset, rail) is described in the overview in the chapter "Approved coolants" (→ Page 117).
Note:
Propylene glycol-based corrosion-inhibiting antifreezes are stipulated for use in some types of applica-tions.
