Preface 03
1 Preface
The service life, operational reliability and function of the drive systems are largely dependent on the fluids
and lubricants employed. The correct selection and treatment of these fluids and lubricants are therefore
extremely important. This publication specifies which fluids and lubricants are to be used.
The Fluids and Lubricants Specifications will be amended or supplemented as necessary. Before
using them, make sure you have the latest version. The latest version is also available at:
http://www.mtu-online.com/Service/Technische Dokumentation/Betriebsstoffvorschriften
If you have further queries, please contact your MTU representative.
Test standards for fluids and lubricants:
DIN Federal German Standards Institute
EN European Standards
ISO International Standards Organization
ASTM American Society for Testing and Materials
IP Institute of Petroleum
Note:
Use of the approved fluids and lubricants, either under the brand name or in accordance with the
specifications given in this publication, constitutes part of the warranty conditions.
The supplier of the fluids and lubricants is responsible for the worldwide standard quality of the named products.
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 fluids and lubricants which it has approved.

Engine oils
Dispose of used fluids and lubricants in accordance with local regulations.
Used oil must never be disposed of via the fuel tank!
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. These standards can be ordered under these reference numbers.
Manufacturers of engine oils are notified in writing if their product is approved.
Approved 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 500 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.
Mixing of engine oils
Basically, engine oils of different SAE classes can also be mixed with one another and are compatible. This
applies to all engine oils irrespective of whether they are based on mineral or synthetic base oils.
The performance and viscosity-temperature relation of oil mixtures, however, is poorer than with unmixed oils. For
this reason, engines can only be run with oil mixtures in exceptional cases and following consultation with MTU.
Oil mixtures refer to residual oil quantities following an oil change. It does not refer to replenishment
of used oil quantities through other approved oils.
Special features
MTU engine oils
One single-grade and one multigrade oil are available from MTU/MTU-DD. These engine oils are marketed under
the name Power Guard DEO SAE 40 and SAE 15W-40. The engine oils are tuned to the MTU Off-Highway
application groups and correspond to oil category 2. A single-grade and multigrade oil are available at MTU
Asia. These engine oils are marketed under the name Fascination of Power SAE 40 or SAE 15W40.
Engine oils for the Series 2000, 4000-01, 4000-02
For Series 2000, 4000-01 and 4000-02 engines, engine oils other than those listed as approved in Section 6 may be
used provided they satisfy all of the specifications and match all of the characteristics listed in Tables 1 and 2.
Performance specifications for engine oils for Series 2000 and 4000-01/02 (Table 1)
Oil category 1 Specification min. API CG-4/CH-4 and ACEA E2–96
Oil category 2 Specification ACEA E7–04
Oil category 3 Specification ACEA E4–04
Oil category 3.1 Specification ACEA E4–04, E6–04
Note for engine oils of category 1:
Engine oils which comply with only one of the standards API CF, CF-2, CF-4, CG-4, CH-4 or CI-4 or with
a combination of these specifications, do not fully meet performance specifications.

Restrictions on Series 4000-03 Marine applications
The engines of the Series 4000-03 Marine must not use oils in oil category 1.
Restrictions on Series 595, 1163 and 8000 applications
For fast commercial ferries with Series 595 or 1163 engines, Category 2 or 3 oils are generally
specified.
Oil Categories 2.1 and 3.1 may be used if the sulfur content in the fuel does not exceed
500 mg/kg.
For Series 8000, only the following engine oils may be used:
• Exxon Mobil Delvac1630 SAE 30
• Shell Sirius X SAE 30
Engine Oil Requirements for Gas Engines
Viscosity grade SAE 40 is stipulated for gas engines!
The selection of a suitable engine oil for gas engines depends primarily on the type of gas used to power the engine.
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 feature a low ash content (< 0.6%) and base numbers within a range
of 4-6 mgKOH/g. This prevents increased ash deposits which can lead to reduced catalytic converter performance.
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 temperature limits in each viscosity grade are shown in Chart 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 3) are guidelines based on operational experience and are valid
for applications with a standard load profile.
Oil Drain Intervals (Table 3)
Oil category Without centrifugal oil filter With centrifugal oil filter
1250 operating hours 500 operating hours
2500 operating hours 1000 operating hours
2.11) 500 operating hours 1000 operating hours
3750 operating hours 1500 operating hours
3.11) 750 operating hours 1500 operating hours
1) = To be used in conjunction with fuels with max. 500 mg/kg sulfur content.
The oil drain intervals in the table are recommended guidelines when using diesel fuels with < 0.5%
sulfur content. The limit values specified in Table 4 for used oil must be complied with. 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 operating conditions are encountered:
• Extreme climatic conditions
• High engine start-up frequency
• Frequent and prolonged idling or low-load operation
• High sulfur content in the fuel of 0.5 to 1.5% by weight (→Page 10)
New oils must be selected which have total base numbers appropriate to the sulfur
content of the fuel in use. (→Page 08)

08 Lubricants
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 37),
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 oil samples should be analyzed after engine runtimes which are to be specified. (→Page 08)
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).
Oil drain intervals for gas engines in Series 4000 L61/L62
Engine oil drain intervals depend on the engine-oil quality, its conditioning, the operating conditions and the fuel used.
Regular oil analyses are necessary because of the varying gas qualities. At the beginning of the product’s
life cycle, oil samples must be taken and analyzed after every 500 hours of operation.
Given consistent gas quality, an oil drain interval of max. 1,500 hours of operation is recommended.
In individual cases, the oil change intervals can be optimized:
For this purpose, oil samples are analyzed after every 200 – 250 hours of operation (→Page 08).
The oil samples must always be taken from the extraction point provided and under the same conditions.
Special Additives
Engine oils approved have been specially developed for diesel engines and have all necessary properties.
Further additives are therefore superfluous and may even be harmful.
Laboratory Analysis
General information
Orders for engine oil analyses can be placed with MTU.
The oil sample must be taken in accordance with the Operating Instructions.
The following data is required:
• Oil manufacturer
• Brand name with viscosity class
• Oilservicelifetodate
• Serial number of engine from which oil sample was taken
The following must be submitted (for each oil change):
• Min. 0.25 liters used oil
• Min. 0.25 liters reference sample (after approx. 1 hour’s operation)
• Min. 0.25 liters new oil
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 engine wear.
These content levels are very much dependent on the following factors, among others:
• Individual engine equipment status
• Tolerance scatter
• Operating conditions
•Dutyprofile
• 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 conditions, depending on
application and the engine’s operating conditions, sampling / analysis should take place more frequently.

The test methods and limit values given in Table 4 and Table 5 (Analytical Limit Values for Diesel / Gas Engine
Oils) indicate when the results of an individual oil sample analysis are to be regarded as abnormal.
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
operational 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.

The following measures must be taken in the case of diesel fuels with a sulfur content above 0.5%:
• Use of an engine oil with a total base number (TBN) (ASTM D 2896) of more than 8 mgKOH/g
• Shortening of oil drain intervals (→Page 07)
The total base numbers for the approved engine oils are listed in Chapter 6 (→Page 37).
Chart 2 (Total Base Numbers) lists the recommended minimum total base numbers for new and
used oils depending on the sulfur content of the diesel fuel.

Minimum Requirements for Operational Checks
Oil analyses can be carried out using the MTU Test Kit. The Test Kit contains all the
equipment required as well as instructions for use.
The following checks can be performed:
• Determination of oil dispersing capacity (spot test)
• Determination of diesel fuel content in the oil.
• Determination of water content in oil
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. (→Page 11)
• Coupling internal centering
High Melting-point Greases
High-temperature grease (up to 250 °C) must be used for emergency shutoff flaps located
between turbocharger and intercooler:

Coolants 13
3 Coolants
Requirements
Coolants must be prepared from suitable fresh water and an MTU-approved coolant additive.
Conditioning of the coolant takes place outside the engine.
Mixing of different coolant additives and supplementary additives is prohibited!
The MTU conditions for coolant-additive approval are specified in MTU Factory Standards
(MTL). The following standards are available:
• Emulsifiable corrosion-inhibiting oils, MTL 5047
• Corrosion-inhibiting antifreeze: MTL 5048
• Water-soluble corrosion inhibitors, MTL 5049
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 the concentration of corrosion-inhibiting
additive in the cooling system is 50% by volume (frost-protection to –37 °C).
• Do not use concentrations of corrosion-inhibiting additives exceeding 55% by volume (max. antifreeze
protection). Concentrations in excess of this reduce antifreeze protection and heat dissipation.

Emulsifiable Corrosion Inhibiting Oils
A 2% by volume concentration must be used for initial filling.

TIM ID: 0000010136 – 006
14 Coolants
Emulsions of MTU-approved corrosion-inhibiting oils (1.0 – 2.0% by volume) and suitable
fresh water provide adequate corrosion protection.
Some corrosion-inhibiting oils tend to foam if used with completely demineralized water. This can
be avoided by adding an appropriate quantity of harder water.
The required quantity of corrosion-inhibiting oil is best mixed in advance in a container with 4 to 5 times the amount
of fresh water and then added to the coolant when the engine is running at operating temperature.
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. In such cases, and after consultation with the MTU chemical laboratory, the
emulsion is to be treated with biocides.
Note:
Slight precipitation may occur where coolant emulsions are used. This is shown by a layer on the surface of the
coolant in the expansion tank. This is of no significance provided that the emulsion concentration 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
Flushing and Cleaning Specification for Engine Coolant Systems at the end of this specification).
Emulsifiable corrosion-inhibiting oil must never be used for coolant temperatures >90 °C
except during test stand runs and test runs.
Emulsifiable corrosion-inhibiting oil is to be used for the Series 595, 956 and 1163
engines in marine applications exclusively.
Emulsifiable corrosion-inhibiting oils must not be used with the following Series:
• Series 183
• Series 396 TB (external charge air cooling with plate core heat exchanger)
• Series 396 TE (split-circuit cooling system)
• Series 4000
• Series 8000
Corrosion-inhibiting antifreezes
General information
These antifreezes are necessary for engines without heating facilities and operating in areas
where below-freezing temperatures may occur.
Provided that the specified concentrations are maintained, the MTU-approved corrosion inhibiting
antifreezes ensure adequate corrosion protection.
The corrosion inhibiting antifreeze concentration must therefore be determined not only in accordance with
the minimum anticipated temperatures but with the corrosion protection requirements also.
If a higher level of corrosion-inhibiting antifreeze is used, a higher engine temperature will result.
Limitations on the Use of Corrosion-Inhibiting Antifreezes
Marine engines are subject to the following limitations when using corrosion-inhibiting antifreezes:
• Series 538, 595 and 956/1163:
These engines are fitted with heating units. Because of their cooler capacity,
corrosion-inhibiting antifreezes must not be used.
• Series 099, 183, 396:
The use of corrosion-inhibiting antifreeze in these engines is permitted only at seawater
temperatures of up to 20 °C maximum.
• Series 2000 and 4000:
Corrosion-inhibiting antifreeze may be used with these engines at seawater temperatures up to 25 °C
• Series 8000:
The use of corrosion-inhibiting antifreezes is not allowed for these engines.

Corrosion-inhibiting antifreezes can be used without reservation in vehicle, locomotive and stationary applications.
Corrosion-Inhibiting Antifreezes for Special Applications
Propylene glycol-based corrosion-inhibiting antifreezes are stipulated for use in some types of applications.
These products have a lower thermal conductivity than the usual ethylene glycol products. This brings about a
higher temperature level in the engine. Specifications for concentrations are in accordance with (→Table Calc.
table for corrosion-inhibiting antifreezes for special applications (Table 8) on page 17).
The product BASF G206 (see Chapter 6) is available for use at extremely low temperatures (< –40
°C) (→Page 37). Specifications for concentrations are in accordance with (→Table Calc. table for
corrosion-inhibiting antifreezes for special applications (Table 8) on page 17).
Water-soluble corrosion inhibitors
General information
Water-soluble corrosion inhibitors are required for higher coolant temperatures and large temperature drops in heat
exchangers, e.g. in TB- (with plate core heat exchanger) and TE-systems in Series 396, 4000 and 183 engines.
For Series 8000 engines, only water-soluble corrosion-inhibitors in accordance with
Chapter 6 may be used. (→Page 37)
The watersoluble corrosion inhibitors recommended by MTU ensure adequate protection provided the correct
concentrations are used. The relevant concentration range for use is listed in the section on Operational Monitoring
(→Table Permissible concentrations (Table 6) on page 16) under “Water-soluble corrosion inhibitors”.
Special arrangements are possible after consultation with MTU. Special arrangements presently in effect remain valid.
Note:
Flushing with water is required during every product change. This also applies to new engines.
The work involved and cleaning agents required are described in the MTU Flushing and Cleaning
Specifications (see appendix to these Fluids and Lubricants Specifications).
Coolant additives for aluminum-free engine series (Series 2000
C&I, Series 4000 C&I/Genset)
For Series 2000 C&I, Series 4000 C&I and Series 4000 genset engines, all of the coolant additives listed in Chapter 6
as being suitable for light-alloy-free engines may be used. (→Page 37) The restrictions listed under “Remarks” with.
The coolant additives listed in Chapter 6 must not be used for any other engine series! (→Page 37)
Operational Monitoring
Inspection of the fresh water and continuous monitoring of the coolant are essential for trouble-free engine operation.
Fresh water and coolant should be inspected at least once per year and with each fill-up. Inspections can be carried
out using the MTU test kit which contains the necessary equipment, chemicals and instructions for use.
The following tests can be conducted with the MTU Test Kit:
• Determination of total hardness (°d)
• pH value
• Chloride content of fresh water
• Corrosion-inhibiting oil content
• Antifreeze (corrosion-inhibiting) concentration
• Water-soluble corrosion inhibitor content

Diesel Fuels
Selection of a Suitable Diesel Fuel
The quality of the fuel is very important for satisfactory engine performance, long engine service life and acceptable
exhaust emission levels. The engines can be operated with most diesel fuels sold worldwide. The properties and
limit values specified in Table 11 (fuels of comparable quality) ensure optimum engine performance.
In order to achieve optimum engine performance and satisfactory service life for the entire fuel and injection system,
the limit values for water and total contamination must be complied with in the engine tank for all approved fuel
qualities. Furthermore, it is advisable to integrate an additional filtering system in the fuel system.
Emission certification
The certification measurements for verifying observance of the statutory emission limits are carried
out with the respectively prescribed certification fuels.
Dispose of used fluids and lubricants in accordance with local regulations.
Used oil must never be disposed of via the fuel tank!

Diesel fuel with a FAME content of max. 5% in compliance with DIN EN 590 may be used. Such
fuel may also be used in engines which have not been approved for operation with FAME, without
affecting oil drain intervals.
It is intended that future engine series will be approved for operation with 100% FAME. Further
details will be published at the appropriate time.
Fuel
• The fuel must comply with DIN EN 14214. Operation with fuels of lower quality can
lead to damage and malfunctions.
• Either FAME or diesel fuel may be used. The various mixtures of FAME and normal diesel fuel
which may occur in the fuel tank as a result, present no problems.
Engine Oil and Servicing
• For operation using 100% FAME, engine oils are to be preferred which comply with MB Fluids and
Lubricants Specifications, Sheet 228.5 or Oil Category 3 in accordance with MTU Fluids and Lubricants
Specifications. Engine oils in accordance with Sheet 228.3 or Oil Category 2 as per MTU Fluids and
Lubricants Specifications may also be used provided that oil drain intervals are reduced.
• A certain amount of fuel always finds its way into the engine oil via the pistons and cylinders. Its high boiling
point means that FAME does not evaporate but remains in the engine oil in its entirety. Under certain conditions
chemical reactions may take place between FAME and the engine oil. This can lead to engine damage.
• For this reason, engine oil and filter change intervals must be shortened for operation both
with pure FAME and with FAME-diesel mixtures.
A001061/33E 08-01 ©MTU
TIM ID: 0000010137 – 007
26 Fuels
• For Series 457, 460/1800, 900 and 500 engines, special equipment is available which facilitates an increase in
the engine oil change intervals for operation with 100% FAME. This involves fitting the engines with special
equipment Code MK21 (special unit pump) and Code MK04 (fuel prefilter with heated water separator).
Engine version Engine oil change interval
Engines not fitted with special equipment for operation
with FAME
Reduction of engine oil change interval to 30% of the
interval required for operation with fossil diesel fuels.
Engines fitted with special equipment Code MK21 and
Code MK04
Reduction of engine oil change interval to 50% of the
interval required for operation with fossil diesel fuels.
The relevant engine oil change intervals must be complied with without fail!
Exceeding the engine oil change intervals can cause engine damage!
• Operation with 100% FAME requires shortened fuel filter change intervals. A new fuel filter
must be fitted each time the engine oil is changed.
• Fuel and engine oil must be changed approximately 25 operating hours after conversion to FAME due to the
danger of blockage caused by loosened deposits (FAME has a pronounced cleaning effect).
• Over longer periods, fuel filter service life may be reduced as a result of old residues being carried into the filter
from the fuel system. A special, approved fuel prefilter can be installed as an improvement. This fuel prefilter
with heated water separator is already installed on engines fitted with special equipment Code MK04.
Engine Power and Engine Standstill
• Due to its calorific value, operation with 100% FAME involves a reduction of approx. 8%-10%
in engine power. This leads to a corresponding increase in fuel consumption as compared to
operation with diesel fuel. Engine power corrections are not permissible.
• Prior to any extended period out of operation, the fuel system must be flushed out in order to prevent
congestion. For flushing, the engine must be operated for at least 30 minutes on diesel fuel.
General Information
• We can make no comment with regard to the level of FAME resistance of the fuel system,
which is not part of our scope of supply.
• FAME is an extremely effective solvent. Any contact with paint, for example, must therefore be avoided.
• The characteristic smell of FAME exhaust, especially during long periods of idling, may be perceived
as unpleasant. The nuisance caused by smell can be reduced by an oxidation catalyzer which may
be installed by the vehicle / equipment manufacturers at their own risk.
Our company accepts no responsibility for and provides no warranty in respect of any fault or damage
connected in any way with the use of FAME of a lower quality or resulting from noncompliance with
our specifications on operation using FAME. All resultant irregularities and consequential damage
lie outside our responsibility.
Vegetable Oils as an Alternative to Diesel Fuel
The use of pure vegetable oils as an alternative to diesel fuel or FAME is strictly prohibited due to the
absence of standardization and to negative experience (engine damage caused by coking, deposits
in the combustion chambers and oil sludge)!
Low-Sulfur Diesel Fuels
Sulfur is contained in chemically bound form in crude oil and is therefore present in fuel at varying levels.
A sulfur content of max. 50 mg/kg or 10 mg/kg (depending on category) has been a European Union requirement
since 01.01.2005. The term “sulfur-free” is used here to designate diesel fuels with a sulfur content of max. 10
mg/kg. Low-sulfur diesel fuels (max. 50 mg/kg) are to be recommended for environmental reasons. In order to
avoid problems with wear, lubricity additives, among other things, are added by the manufacturer.

TIM ID: 0000010137 – 007
Fuels 27
On older series engines (Series 538, 595, 956, 1163) with cylinder heads not fitted with valve seat
inserts, the use of low-sulfur fuel (< 50 mg/kg) can lead to increased valve seat wear. This wear can
be reduced by the addition of anti-wear additives. Approved additives are listed in Table 13 and must
be added to the fuel. The additive must be filled before every refueling.

Diesel Fuels in Winter Operation
At low outdoor temperatures, the diesel fuel’s fluidity can be inadequate on account of paraffin precipitation.
In order to prevent operational problems (e.g. clogged filters) during the winter months, diesel fuel
with suitable cold-flow characteristics is available on the market. Deviations are possible during
transitional periods and in individual countries. If no frost-resistant diesel fuels are available, paraffin
oil or aviation turbine fuel must be added before frost sets in. As a basic guide, adding 5% by
volume achieves an improvement of frost resistance of approx. 1° C.
Add the additive to the diesel fuel in good time before the fluidity of the diesel fuel is impaired by paraffin precipitation.
Malfunctions resulting from paraffin precipitation can only be eliminated by heating the entire fuel system.
Petrol (gasoline) must not be added.
Flow improvers
Flow improvers cannot prevent paraffin precipitation but they do influence the size of the
crystals and allow the diesel fuel to pass through the filter.
The effectiveness of the flow improvers is not guaranteed for every fuel.
Certainty is only assured after laboratory testing of the filtering capability.
Required quantities and mixing procedures must be carried out according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
Heating Oil EL
Domestic heating oil differs from diesel fuel mainly because of the following characteristics:
– Cetane number
– Sulfur content
– Oxidation stability
– Corrosion effect on copper
A001061/33E 08-01 ©MTU
TIM ID: 0000010137 – 007
28 Fuels
– Lubricity
– Low temperature behavior
Technically, if the characteristics of domestic heating oil satisfy the specifications for the required
diesel fuel, then it can be used in a diesel engine.
Cetane number
DIN 51 603 -1 does not specify the cetane number. If heating oil is used, the cetane number must
therefore be quoted by the supplier or measured and be at least 45 as required in the MTU Fluids and
Lubricants Specification. The calculated cetane index must not be less than 42.
Sulfur content
In accordance with DIN 51 603 -1, the maximum sulfur content for EL-1 standard heating oil is 0.2%.
The maximum sulfur content for EL-1 heating oil is 50 mg/kg. Lubricity additives must never be
added as its primary purpose is for heating. Lubrication problems can therefore be expected when
using these qualities of heating oil because of the missing additives.
Consultation with the individual fuel supplier is necessary.
Supplementary fuel additives
The engines are so designed that satisfactory operation with normal, commercially available fuels is
ensured. Many of these fuels already contain performance-enhancing additives.
The additives are added by the supplier as the agent responsible for product quality.
The anti-wear additives in (→Table Approved anti-wear additives (Table 13) on page 27) represent an exception.
Attention is drawn to the fact that the use of diesel fuels or additives other than those stipulated in the
MTU Fluids and Lubricants Specifications is always the responsibility of the operator.
Microorganisms in fuel
Bacterial attack and sludge formation may occur in the fuel under unfavorable conditions. In
such cases, the fuel must be treated with biocides in accordance with the manufacturer’s
specifications. Overconcentration must always be avoided.
A001061/33E 08-01 ©MTU

The limit values are based on a calorific value of 10 kWh/m3N. This corresponds to a reference
to fuels with 100% by vol. methane or, if there are other combustible elements in the fuel, an
equal energy equivalent and thus an equal input of pollutants.
Example:
Russian natural gas with a calorific value of 10 kWh/m3N(Table 16) is used. The permissible value for total
sulfur in the gas thus corresponds exactly to the limit value specified in Table 18.
When using gas from Osthannover, for example, with Hu = 8.15 kWh/m3N(Table 17) the
permissible max. value of total sulfur is calculated thus:
permissible total sulfur content = 30 mg/m³N(8.15 kWh/m3N: 10.0 kWh/m3N) = 24.5 mg/m³N
No warranty is given in respect of impairment and / or damage (corrosion, contamination etc.)
resulting from gases or materials the presence of which was unknown and agreed upon on
conclusion of contract.

Preservatives 35
5 Preservatives
Requirements
The MTU conditions for preservative approval are specified in MTU Factory Standards
(MTL). The following standards are available:
• Initial-operation oil and corrosion-inhibitor oil, MTL 5051
• Corrosion inhibitors for external preservation, MTL 5052
The preservation product manufacturer is informed in writing if his product is approved by MTU.
Types of Preservation
See Preservation Specification, Chapter 8 (→Page 77)
Initial Operation Oils and Corrosion Inhibiting Oils for Internal Preservation
SAE 30 viscosity grade corrosion inhibiting oils are to be used for internal preservation (oil-
moistened components) of MTU engines and gearboxes.
These oils may also be used for running-in and acceptance testing procedures. Some are also
suitable for continuous operation, see Chapter 6 (→Page 37).
Corrosion Inhibitors for External Preservation
For external preservation, all non-painted parts are to be treated with a corrosion inhibitor providing
a wax-like protective coating after the inhibitor solvent has evaporated.
Corrosion Inhibiting Oils for Internal Preservation of the Fuel System
Fuel injection-pump test oil conforming to DIN ISO 4113 is to be used for internal preservation of the fuel
system. The engine should be run with these oils for the last 10 minutes before shutdown.
Preservation can also be effected using diesel fuel to which approximately 10-12% corrosion-
inhibitor oil for internal preservation has been added.

Preliminary note
Please note the following warnings in bold type:
Caution!
Work which has to be carried out exactly in order to avoid danger to persons.
Attention!
Work which has to be carried out exactly in order to avoid damage or destruction of material.
Note:
If a particular aspect requires special attention while work is being carried out.
Introduction
The preservation and represervation specifications apply to all diesel and gas engines from MTU. They apply
to new engines direct from the test stand, to field engines in uninterrupted operation and to engines that have
been decommissioned for a scheduled major overhaul, provided that the period between the end of engine
operation and return to operation is more than 3 months and that storage conditions are normal. If storage
conditions are difficult or unsuitable, preservation must be carried out in any case.
Cooling circuits must always be preserved after the coolant has been drained irrespective of the storage conditions.
Preservation is carried out during the acceptance test on the test stand, or immediately after
it. Engines in the field must be preserved immediately after their last service period. The
represervation interval depends on the storage conditions.
A distinction is made between the following storage conditions:
normal (free of frost, closed heated rooms, max. temperature fluctuations of between 10 and 40
°C, clean, monthly average relative air humidity ≤65%)
difficult (dust / contamination, with drops below dew point > 20% of the month, monthly average
relative air humidity > 65%)
unsuitable (salt-laden air, outdoor storage)
The following packaging and represervation intervals based on the above:
normal storage conditions: Standard packaging, represervation every 12 months
difficult storage conditions: Standard packaging, represervation every 6 months
unsuitable storage conditions: Special packaging, represervation every 12 months, additionally every 3 – 4
months a check of the humidity indicator in the special packaging
The preservation or represervation agent is the same for all engine types. The type of engine packaging
depends on the storage and transport conditions. The gearbox manufacturer’s preservation specifications
must also be complied with when complete powerpacks / drive systems are be preserved.
Note:
Warranty claims are invalid if the storage is not according to specifications.
Do not use natural rubber sealing material, as it is not resistant to aging.
Only MTU-approved fluids and lubricants as specified in Chapter 6 (Approved Fluids and Lubricants)
are to be used for preservation and represervation (→Page 37).
In event of extended out-of-service periods, machined, non-protected surfaces, for example cylinder liner
running faces, are susceptible to corrosion and must therefore be preserved.
The applicable engine documentation must also be considered together with this Preservation
Specification. Refer to the engine documentation for tasks and checks to be carried out when
shutting down an engine and before re-operating an engine.

Preserving diesel engines
Out-of-service period of < 1 month with engines installed
Engines do not need to be preserved separately. It is sufficient to close the emergency-air shutoff flaps, if fitted.
Out-of-serviceperiodof1–3monthswithenginesinstalledorremoved
Run engine up to operating temperature, then run up to rated speed for about 30 seconds and then
shut down at rated speed. The engine must not be started again. This engine run must also be
carried out before the engine is removed for a period out-of-service.
Engine in installed condition
The following openings must be sealed tightly:
• Cooling-air inlet
• Combustion-air inlet (close the emergency air shutoff flaps if they are provided).
• Exhaust outlet
• Crankcase breather, if possible (when venting to atmosphere)
With engine removed
The following openings must be sealed tightly:
• Cooling-air inlet
• Combustion-air inlet (Close the emergency air shutoff flaps if they are provided).
• Exhaust outlet
• Crankcase breather, if possible (when venting to atmosphere).

82 Preservation Specifications
Special packing
Special packing must be carried out for storage outdoors, immediately following preservation if possible, for
engines which are to be taken out of service for more than 36 months or which are to be transported by sea
or in polar or tropical regions, see Section (→Page 78)and (→Page 80). Likewise, special packing is also
usually advisable for protecting the engine against corrosion during shorter periods of storage.
General information on special packing
Engines / drive plants must be specially packed for transportation by sea or in polar / tropical regions and before
long-term storage. This means that the engine must be preserved according to Section (→Page 78) or (→Page 80)
(completely drain off coolant and preservation oil) and enclosed in special packing in addition.
The following types of special packing are available:
• Envelopes of bonded-layer material (e.g. aluminum bonded-layers).
• Hygroscopic (water-absorbing) materials (e.g. silica gel).
The engine is welded into a foil with limited water-vapor permeability, the enclosed air is then extracted by
means of a vacuum-cleaner, and is dried to the desired relative humidity with desiccant. Desiccant is used
to achieve a specific relative humidity inside the foil envelope. The climatic packing of bonded-layer material
hinders the formation of condensed water on the metal surface and resulting corrosion.
Maintenance Intervals
Every 3 to 4 months
• Check humidity indicators (→Page 84)
Note:
When storing the engine in special packing (with laminated-aluminum layers), note that the elastomers
have a limited life. The calculation of the total service life of the elastomers begins with either the year of
manufacture or last engine overhaul (see nameplate). Based on current knowledge, elastomer components
made of fluorocarbon rubber (e.g. O-rings) have a total service life of about 20 years and those made
of other rubber materials (hoses) have a total service life of about 10 years.
In cases of storage for more than 10 years (from date of manufacture on identification
plate) but before putting into service
• Replace all rubber parts on engine (hoses, sleeves, etc.)
Storage beyond 20 years (as of year of manufacture on nameplate) but before commissioning:
• Replace all elastomers during a major overhaul of the engine.
Note:
A long storage period shortens the time limit for an engine’s major overhaul (TBO) because of the limited total
service life of the elastomers. MTU recommends that engines should not be stored for more than 10 years.
Envelopes of laminated material
The envelopes consist of tightly-bonded layers of aluminum composite foil which has limited
permeability to water vapour and gas.
The material used by MTU is composed of polyethylene – aluminum and polyester, with the following properties:
• Temperature range for applications from +70 °C to –50 °C.
• Water vapor permeability (WVP): 0.1 g/m² per day at 38 °C and 80% relative humidity
(compared with PVC soft foil: WVP 6 g/m² per day)

TIM ID: 0000010139 – 006
Preservation Specifications 83
Desiccant
Desiccant, mostly silica gel, is the name usually given to water-absorbing materials as used in the
special packing. The desiccant is in packs of highly-permeable (for water vapour) and strong material
(e.g. natron crepe paper) which are placed in the transport package.
Desiccant pack
The following drying-agent packs are used for transport packing:
• MTU-No. 49542 desiccant 125 g = 4 units
• MTU No. 49543 desiccant 259 g = 8 units
• MTU-No. 49544 desiccant 500 g = 16 units
• MTU No. 49545 desiccant 1000 g = 32 units
Calculation of required desiccant
The amount of units placed in the special packing depends on the climatic conditions and type of storage at
the place of destination. The minimum amount of units to be used is calculated as follows:
Climatic zone Per m² laminated
aluminum foil surface
(A)
Per kg auxiliary packing

Procedure
1. Measure surface A of the laminated aluminum foil for the packing.
2. Weigh the packing material (e.g. wood, corrugated cardboard, etc.) necessary to support
and protect the engine within the special packing envelope.
3. Determine which climatic zone(s) the protected engine will be transported through and finally stored in.
4. Calculate the required desiccant (DU).

84 Preservation Specifications
Note:
If the laminated aluminum foil is replaced or repaired following damage, the calculation for the desiccant
required (DU) must be carried out again as follows (example) (→Page 83).
Calculation example for desiccant units
Determination of DU for the seaworthy transport of an engine to Singapore:
• Laminated aluminum foil surface 10 m²
• Packing material: 3 kg
• Packing for climatic zone C:
17 DU/m² laminated aluminum foil x 10 m² =170
+20 DU/kg x3kg =60
Total 230 DU
Result: Sufficient protection of the engine requires 230 desiccant units (DU).
Humidity Indicator
Humidity indicators can be inserted into the foil envelope to show the saturation level of the desiccant. The
indicators signalize by changing color that the specified level of relative humidity has been exceeded. An increase
in relative humidity e.g. due to leaks or damage, presents a risk of corrosion for the engine.
A viewing window with a humidity indicator is screwed into the laminated aluminum foil at a point
as far away as possible from the desiccant. It is thus possible to check the relative humidity
inside the foil envelope and / or to verify any changes.
The humidity must be checked regularly every 3 to 4 months.
30 Colored pink:
Relative humidity above
30%.
40 Colored pink:
Relative humidity above
40%
50 Colored pink:
Relative humidity above
50%
Relative humidity above 30%
Reduce time between checks, i.e. check every 4 weeks.
Relative humidity above 40%
The desiccant must be replaced (→Page 91); evenly distribute the new desiccant primarily in the upper
section of the packaging. Required units of desiccant for special packaging (→Page 83).
Relative humidity above 50%
Check condition of packed engine, represerve engine, (→Page 80)and (→Page 81) and repack engine (→Page 85).
Note:
The humidity indicator regenerates itself; replacement is not necessary.

Prior to final sealing of the aluminum laminate
envelope, use a vacuum pump (e.g. vacuum
cleaner) to extract the entrapped air.

Preservation Specifications 91
As a consequence of the resulting pressure drop,
the envelope must shrink into light contact with
the engine. Excessively heavy contact must be
avoided as friction damage could result during
transportation.
Note:
When the air is extracted, the air humidity is eliminated, thus ensuring a favorably low initial level of
moisture in the packaging. Extraction of the air also verifies that the envelope is free of leaks. If the
envelope is not adequately sealed, it will re-expand within 30 minutes.
A leak can be found by pressurizing the envelope and repaired by welding.
Special packing checks
Humidity check
Humidity within the envelope must be checked regularly every 3–4months(→Page 84). The results of the
check must be entered on the monitoring sheet (→Page 94). If the engine is still under warranty, return the
monitoring sheet (→Page 94) to MTU Friedrichshafen after putting the engine into service.
Attention!
When checking the special packing, ensure that the laminated aluminum foil is not damaged, exercise
great care when opening the transportation box (if provided).
The condition of the laminated aluminum foil is to be checked minutely at every customs, stock or storage
check. Protection against corrosion is not guaranteed if the aluminum composite foil is damaged.
Desiccant replacement
Open the upper section of the envelope and remove the old desiccant. Place the same amount of fresh desiccant in
the upper section of the envelope (→Page 89). Re-weld the envelope and extract the air (→Page 90).
Repair of special packing
If the laminated aluminum foil is damaged, the damaged area can be cut out and a new section welded into
position. If repairs have to be carried out, the envelope must be stocked with fresh desiccant (→Page 89) and
the air must be extracted again (→Page 90). Incorrect repair, e.g. using adhesive tape, is not permissible,
as the partial vacuum in the envelope cannot be maintained. In order to ensure correct repair, the specified
packing materials (→Page 84) and the manual welding unit (→Page 92) must be used.

Flushing and Cleaning Specifications for Engine Coolant Systems 97
8 Flushing and Cleaning Specifications for Engine
Coolant Systems
General information
These cleaning specifications are for the engine cooling systems in MTU diesel engines
In the course of time, sludge deposits from aging coolant additives can accumulate in the cooling system. Reduced
cooling capacity, clogged vent lines and drain points and dirty coolant level sight-glasses can result.
Below-standard water quality or incorrect coolant preparation can also heavily contaminate the system.
If such conditions occur, the coolant system is to be flushed out with fresh water, repeatedly if necessary.
If these flushing sequences are insufficient or if the system is too heavily contaminated, the
system and all affected parts must be cleaned.
Only clean, fresh water (no river or sea water) must be used for flushing.
Only MTU-approved or corresponding products at the specified concentrations may be used for
cleaning. The specified cleaning procedure is to be complied with.
Immediately after flushing or cleaning, fill the cooling systems with treated engine coolant as stipulated
in the current MTU Fluids and Lubricants Specifications A001061 (→Page 37).
Fluids and lubricants (e.g. treated engine coolant), used flushing water, cleaning agents and cleaning solutions can be
hazardous materials. Certain regulations must be obeyed when handling, storing and disposing of these substances.
These regulations are contained in the manufacturer’s instructions, legal requirements and technical guidelines
valid in the individual countries. Considerable differences can apply from country to country so that no generally
valid statement on the applicable regulations for fluids and lubricants etc. can be made in 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 fluids and lubricants / cleaning agents which it has approved.
Scrap oil heat exchangers from engines with bearing or piston seizures or friction damage!

Flushing engine coolant systems
Drain engine coolant.
Measure pH-value of the fresh water (MTU test kit or electric pH-value measuring device).
Fill coolant system with fresh water.
• Never pour cold water into a hot engine!
Preheat, start and run engine until warm.
Run engine for approx. 30 minutes at increased speed.
Take flush-water sample (engine-coolant-sample extraction cock).
Shut down engine and drain flush water.
Measure pH-value of the flush-water sample (MTU test kit or electric pH-value measuring device).
If pH-value after flushing is only slightly above pH-value of fresh water, (pH-value difference < 1):
Fill system with treated coolant and start engine.
If pH-value after flushing is still significantly above pH-value of fresh water, (pH-value difference > 1):
Fill system with fresh flush water and repeat flushing process.
If the pH-value after 4 or 5 flushing sequences is still significantly above pH-value of
fresh water, (pH-value difference > 1):
Clean coolant system and, if necessary, the components also.
For further information, see Operating Instructions for engine in question.
Cleaning engine coolant systems
Prepare concentrated solution of detergent (for coolant systems) in warm fresh water.
In the case of powdered products, stir until the detergent is completely dissolved and without sediment.
Pour solution together with fresh water into coolant system.
Start engine and run until warm.
Run engine for approx. 2 hours at increased speed.
Shut down engine.

Flushing and Cleaning Specifications for Engine Coolant Systems 99
Drain off cleaning agents and flush the engine cooling system with fresh water.
Take flush-water sample (engine-coolant-sample extraction cock).
Measure pH-value of the flush-water sample (MTU test kit or electric pH-value measuring device).
If pH-value after flushing is only slightly above pH-value of fresh water, (pH-value difference < 1):
Fill system with treated coolant and start engine.
If pH-value after flushing is still significantly above pH-value of fresh water, (pH-value difference > 1):
Clean components
For further information, see Operating Instructions for engine in question.
Cleaning components
Remove, disassemble and clean components that are exposed to heavy sludge deposits e.g. expansion
tanks, preheating units, heat exchangers (coolant cooler, oil heat-exchanger, intercooler, charge-air
preheater, fuel preheater etc.) and lower sections of pipework.
Before cleaning, examine degree of contamination on water sides.
If greasy lime deposits are found, first degrease the water side.
Stubborn deposits caused by oil mist in intercoolers can be removed with Kluthe Hakutex 60.
Remove hard lime deposits with a decalcifying product.
In the event of stubborn lime deposits, a 10% inhibited hydrochloric solution may have to be used.
Dissolve deposits on and in heat-exchanger elements in a heated cleaning bath.
Use only approved detergents in the permissible concentration.
Always follow the manufacturer’s instructions when preparing cleaning baths!
• Deposits on the oil side can also be dissolved in a kerosene bath.
• The period spent in the cleaning bath depends on the type and degree of contamination,
as well as the temperature and activity of the bath.
Clean individual components such as housings, covers, pipes, sight glasses, heat-exchanger elements
and similar with superheated steam, a nylon brush (soft) and a powerful water jet.
In order to avoid damage:
• Do not use hard or sharp-edged tools (steel brushes, scrapers etc.) (oxide protective layer)
• Do not set the water-jet pressure too high (damage, e.g. to cooling fins)
After cleaning, blow through the heat exchanger elements with low-pressure steam in the direction opposite to
operational flow, rinse with clear water (until pH-value difference is < 1) and blow dry with compressed or hot air.
Check that all components are in perfect condition, repair or replace as necessary.
Flush oil and engine coolant sides of heat-exchanger elements with corrosion-inhibiting oil.
• This step may be omitted if the heat exchanger is installed and taken into service immediately after cleaning.
After reinstalling all components, flush engine-coolant system once.
Check coolant system for leaks during initial operation of engine.
For further information, see the Maintenance Manual for the engine in question.
