Tulux T500 Heavy Duty Diesel Engine Oil 15W-40 ACEA E7 CI-4 | 18L

Sinopec Tulux T500 SAE 15W-40 E7 Diesel Engine Oil is a high-performance heavy-duty diesel engine oil formulated with hydrocracked base oils and an advanced multifunctional additive system, meeting ACEA E7, API CI-4 and Global DHD-1 performance requirements. Designed for pre-EPA 2007 heavy-duty diesel engines operating under sustained load with or without EGR systems, the Tulux T500 delivers a TBN of 10.4, HTHS viscosity of 4.08 cP and a pour point of -38°C, providing reliable protection across mixed-fleet applications in haulage, agriculture, construction and plant hire. Technically equivalent in performance to leading international heavy-duty diesel engine oils, available at a competitive price point with full UK technical support.

The 18L pail is suited to independent workshops, agricultural contractors and mobile mechanics requiring a manageable pack size for day-to-day servicing of heavy-duty diesel vehicles and equipment.

Technical reference: SAE 15W-40 E7 Diesel Engine Oil

Key Features

• Acid and corrosion control. TBN of 10.4 with strong retention across the drain interval neutralises combustion acids and protects engine bearings and metal surfaces from corrosive attack throughout the service life of the oil.
• Engine wear protection. HTHS viscosity of 4.08 cP maintains a stable protective oil film at valve train, piston ring and cylinder liner contact points under high-temperature, high-shear operating conditions.
• Deposit control. Advanced dispersant and detergent chemistry keeps pistons, valve trains and internal engine surfaces clean under severe duty cycles, maintaining engine efficiency throughout the drain interval.
• Cold-start performance. Pour point of -38°C ensures rapid oil circulation and reliable lubrication from start-up in cold UK operating conditions.
• Aeration and foam control. Effective foam and aeration suppression protects hydraulic lash adjusters and oil-pressure-dependent engine components across all operating conditions.
• Mixed-fleet versatility. Dual-rated for API CI-4/CH-4 diesel and API SL/SJ petrol applications, providing a single lubricant solution for workshops servicing mixed diesel and petrol engine fleets.

Applications

Sinopec Tulux T500 SAE 15W-40 E7 is recommended for heavy-duty diesel engines in haulage, construction, agriculture, mining and plant hire operating under severe or continuous load. Suitable for long-distance transport, urban fleet operations and off-highway applications. Also suitable for industrial power generation engines and light-duty vehicles requiring API SL or lower specification engine oils. Recommended where ACEA E7, API CI-4 or Global DHD-1 specification is required.
