Product Information

Full details

This Morris Fully Synthetic Heavy Duty Engine Oil - 10W-40 is designed for modern diesel engines, particularly those equipped with exhaust aftertreatment systems like DPFs, SCR, and EGR. Its primary benefit is maintaining the efficiency and longevity of these critical emissions systems while providing superior component protection and enabling extended drain intervals. A potential caveat is its specific formulation, meaning it must be used where its quality and specifications (e.g., ACEA E6, API CK-4) are explicitly required by the engine manufacturer.

FAQs

What does 'Low SAPS' mean?

'Low SAPS' refers to a low level of Sulphated Ash, Phosphorus, and Sulphur. This is crucial for modern diesel engines with exhaust aftertreatment devices like Diesel Particulate Filters (DPFs) and Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) systems, as these additives can otherwise poison or block these components.

Can I use this oil in my older diesel engine?

This oil is specifically formulated for engines meeting Euro IV, V, and VI emission standards and requires specific OEM approvals. While it might meet some older specifications, it is best used only if your vehicle manual explicitly requires an ACEA E6, E7, E8, E11, E9, or API CK-4 quality oil and a low SAPS formulation. Using it in an engine not designed for low SAPS oils could lead to premature wear.

How do I know if my engine requires this specific oil?

Always refer to your vehicle's owner's manual. Look for specifications such as ACEA E6, E7, E8, E11, E9, API CK-4/SN, or specific OEM approvals like MB 228.5/228.52, Volvo VDS-4.8, or DAF Euro 6 compliance. If your manual lists these, then this oil is suitable.

What are the benefits of synthetic base fluids?

Synthetic base fluids offer superior thermal stability, resistance to oxidation, better low-temperature performance (easier starting in cold), and enhanced lubrication properties compared to conventional mineral oils. This leads to better wear protection and allows for extended drain intervals.

Can this oil be used with Bio-diesel?

This oil is suitable for use with low sulfur diesel fuel (max 50ppm). Compatibility with higher concentrations of bio-diesel should be verified with the vehicle manufacturer, as some formulations may require specific approvals for bio-fuel use.

What is the recommended oil change interval?

This oil is designed to allow for extended drain intervals. However, the exact interval depends on the vehicle manufacturer's recommendations, engine type, operating conditions (e.g., heavy load, short trips), and fuel quality. Always consult your owner's manual for the precise service schedule.

Troubleshooting

Check Engine light related to emissions system

Ensure the correct oil specification (low SAPS) is being used, as incorrect oil can damage DPF/SCR systems. If the oil is correct, consult a technician for diagnosis of the emissions system.

Reduced oil pressure reading

Verify the oil viscosity and specification are correct for the engine. Check for potential leaks or blockages in the oil system. Ensure the oil level is adequate.

Oil appears darker than expected shortly after an oil change

This is normal for low SAPS oils, as they are designed to keep soot suspended rather than allowing it to settle. The oil is still performing its cleaning function.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Protects sensitive exhaust aftertreatment systems (DPF, SCR, EGR).
  • Enhances engine cleanliness and component longevity.
  • Enables longer service intervals, reducing operational costs.
  • Versatile for use in mixed fleets with various engine types.
  • High-quality synthetic formulation for superior protection.

Cons

  • Must be used only where specific low SAPS and OEM specifications are required.
  • Potentially higher upfront cost compared to conventional oils.
  • Not suitable for older engines not designed for low SAPS oils.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Compatibility: This oil is designed for diesel engines meeting Euro IV, V, and VI emission standards. It is suitable for use with low sulfur diesel fuel (max 50ppm). Always consult your vehicle's owner's manual to confirm that the specifications listed (e.g., ACEA E6, E7, E8, E11, E9, API CK-4/SN, CAT ECF-3, MB 228.5/228.52, Volvo VDS-4.8, DAF Euro 6) match the manufacturer's requirements. It is specifically required for DAF Euro 6 compliant engines.

Setup: No special setup is required beyond a standard oil change procedure. Ensure the engine is at operating temperature before draining old oil and fill with the correct amount of new oil as specified by the vehicle manufacturer.

Care: Store the oil in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Keep containers tightly sealed when not in use. Regularly check your oil level and condition according to your vehicle manufacturer's maintenance schedule. Adhere to the extended drain intervals recommended by the oil manufacturer and validated by your vehicle's specific operating conditions and manual.
