 1 Preface
1.1 General information
These Fluids and Lubricants Specifications contain general instructions for the proper and safe operation of
your product from the manufacturer Rolls-Royce Solutions.

Used symbols and means of representation

The following instructions are highlighted in the text and must be observed:
Important
This field contains product information which is important or useful for the user. It refers to instructions, work
and activities that have to be observed to prevent damage or destruction to the material.

Note:
A note provides special instructions that must be observed when performing a task.

Fluids and lubricants

The useful life, operational reliability and function of the drive units 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.

mtu ValueCare portfolio

Rolls-Royce Solutions offers approved oils and coolants tailored to meet engine requirements under the mtu
ValueCare agreement.

Warranty
Use of the approved fluids and lubricants, either under the brand name or in accordance with the specificati‐
ons 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 pro‐
ducts.
Important
Fluids and lubricants for drive units 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, such as product-specific safety data
sheets, statutory regulations 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. Rolls-Royce Solutions accepts no liability whatsoever for improper or illegal use of the fluids
and lubricants which it has approved.

Preservation
All information on preservation, represervation and depreservation including the approved preservatives is
available in the Preservation and Represervation Specifications (publication number A001070/...). The most

2.1 Engine oils
Important
Dispose of used fluids and lubricants in accordance with local regulations!
Used oil must never be disposed of via the internal combustion engine!

Requirements for the approval of engine oils by Rolls-Royce Solutions

The requirements of Rolls-Royce Solutions for the approval of engine oils for diesel engines are specified in
the delivery standards MTL 5044 and MTL 5051 for first-use oils and corrosion inhibitor oils. For two-stroke
cycle engine oils, oil approval requirements are contained in the delivery standard MTL 5111. These stan‐
dards can be ordered under these reference numbers.
Engine oil manufacturers are notified in writing if their product is approved.
Approved diesel engine oils are divided into the following quality categories:
• Oil category 1: Standard quality / Single and multi-grade oils
• Oil category 2: Higher quality / Single and multi-grade oils
• Oil category 2.1: Multi-grade oils with a low ash-forming additive content (low SAPS oils)
• Oil category 3: Highest quality / Multi-grade oils
• Oil category 3.1: Multi-grade 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 particu‐
late filters, it is advisable to use these oils to avoid fast coating of the filter with ash particles. For exceptions,
see (→ Page 11).
Selection of a suitable engine oil is based on fuel quality, projected oil drain interval and on-site climatic condi‐
tions. At present there is no international industrial standard which alone takes into account all these criteria.

Important
The use of engine oils not approved by Rolls-Royce Solutions can mean that statutory emission limits are no
longer observed. This can be a punishable offense.

Important
Mixing different engine oils is strictly prohibited!
Changing to another approved oil grade can be done together with an engine oil change. The remaining oil
quantity in the engine oil system is not critical in this regard.
This procedure also applies to the genuine Rolls-Royce Solutions engine oil grades in the regions Europe,
Middle East, Africa, America and Asia.

Important
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 deposits).
TIM-ID: 0000018560 - 010

It may be necessary therefore to reduce the oil change interval and oil filter service life (once on changing).

 For customer certification, an engine test run under the following conditions is required: Individual cylinder test
run 50 hours; with positive findings the engine test run has to be carried out as follows:
• Engine runtime with specific oil: min. 50 hours (30 hours of which at min. 100% power)
• Then endoscopic examination of combustion chambers.
• Disassembly of 4 pistons (2 on engine A-side and 2 on engine B-side) for detailed results.

Use of Low SAPS oils (oil categories 2.1 and 3.1) with fuels with a maximum sulfur content
of 1000 mg/kg in applications in Series 12V2000M41A, 2000Mx7, 4000M03 IMO II/III,
4000M05 IMO II/III, 8V4000M63 IMO III and 20V4000M53B IMO III
If Low SAPS oils of oil categories 2.1 and 3.1 are to used in conjunction with fuels with a maximum sulfur
content of 1000 mg/kg, in addition to the Rolls-Royce Solutions approvals they must also comply with the follo‐
wing performance requirements:
Oil category Specification
ACEA API
2.1 E7 and E9 CJ-4 and CI-4
3.1 E6 and E7 CI-4

Table 4:
If the Low SAPS oils meet the aforementioned requirements, they are approved for a runtime up to 500 opera‐
ting hours. If the maximum runtime is exceeded, the base number of the oil must be checked through regular
oil analyses. If the permissible base number is not reached, the oil must be replaced.
Important
If the performance requirements listed in the table (→ Table 4) are not met, only fuels with a max. sulfur
content of 50 mg/kg must be used.

Engine oils for engines with exhaust gas aftertreatment (EGAT)

Engines with exhaust gas aftertreatment place special demands on the oils used to guarantee the operational
reliability and service life of the exhaust system and the engine.
Depending on the technology used for exhaust gas aftertreatment, the following oils can be used.

Table 5:
Important
The use of engine oils of categories 1, 2 and 3 with ash-forming additives >1% on plants with EGAT results
in a significantly reduced service life of the exhaust gas aftertreatment system and, with particulate filters,
increased back pressure.

Selection of viscosity grades

TIM-ID: 0000018560 - 010

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 multi-grade oils, depending on the application. Standard values for the temperature limits in

Oil drain intervals for diesel engines

Engine oil change intervals depend on the engine-oil quality, its conditioning, the operating conditions and the
fuel used.
The intervals are guide values based on operational experience and are valid for applications with a standard
load profile.

2 500 operating hours 1000 operating hours

Important
The oil change intervals in the table (→ Table 7) are recommended guidelines when using diesel fuels with
<0.5% sulfur content. The defined limit values for the used oil (→ Table 8) must be observed. The numbers
of operating hours quoted for oils must be confirmed by means of oil analysis.

A001061/43E 2024-01 | Lubricants for Four-Cycle Engines | 13

 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 startup 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 Diesel Fuel”)
For applications involving low runtimes, the engine oil must be changed every 2 years at the latest irrespective
of its category.
Where engine oils with higher-grade corrosion-inhibiting characteristics are in use, 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 analyses and appro‐
priate engine inspections in consultation with the responsible Rolls-Royce Solutions service point:
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 purpo‐
se (see Operating Instructions).

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

Spectrometric oil analysis

Analysis of the engine oil's additive-metal content is carried out by the Rolls-Royce Solutions laboratory to de‐
termine the oil brand.
Analyses of the wear-metal content to determine the degree of engine wear are not part of the standard proce‐
dure. These content levels are very much dependent on the following factors, among others:
• Individual engine equipment status
• Tolerance scatter
• Operating conditions
• Load 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.
The measurement of the wear-metal element contents can only be regarded as a monitoring task. A sudden
increase is an indication to check/inspect the oil filter. If wear particles are found, an EDX analysis can deter‐
TIM-ID: 0000018560 - 010

mine their composition, which helps to identify the affected component.

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, depen‐
ding on application and the engine's operating conditions, sampling / analysis should take place more fre‐
quently.
The specified test methods and limit values (Analytical Limit Values for Used Diesel Engine Oils) (→ Table 8)
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.

14 | Lubricants for Four-Cycle Engines | A001061/43E 2024-01

 The limit values relate to individual oil samples. When these limit values are reached or exceeded, an imme‐
diate oil change is recommended. 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 state 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 filters, centrifugal
filters or separators, especially in comparison with the previous analysis.
• Abnormal discoloration of components.

 Use of high-sulfur diesel fuel
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) of more than 8 mgKOH/g
• Shorten the oil-change intervals (see Oil change intervals)
• Shorter TBO of cylinder heads on Series 4000 engines (→ Page 43)
Chart (→ Figure 2) “Engine oil depending on the sulfur content of the diesel fuel” lists the recommended mini‐
mum total base numbers for new and used oils depending on the sulfur content of the diesel fuel.
The total base numbers for the approved engine oils are listed in chapter Approved engine oils (→ Page 116).

 4 Coolants
4.1 General information
Coolant definition
Coolant = Coolant additive (concentrate) + freshwater in a predefined mixing ratio
Ready for use in the 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 coo‐
ling circuit must be preserved if no more coolant is to be filled. Refer to the Preservation and Represervation
Specifications A001070/.. for a description of the preservation procedure.
The residual volume of corrosion inhibitor for internal preservation of the cooling circuit that remains for techni‐
cal reasons when the engine is drained is unproblematic if it is carried over into the subsequently filled, appro‐
ved coolant. A prerequisite is that it is preserved as standard with PII3/PII3 Frost Protection. If an emulsion is
used, a flushing procedure is required.
Coolants must be prepared from suitable freshwater and a coolant additive approved by Rolls-Royce Soluti‐
ons. Treatment of the coolant takes place outside the engine.
Important
Mixtures of various coolant additives and supplementary additives (also in coolant filters and filters down‐
stream of plant components) are not permitted!

The conditions for the approval of coolant additives are specified in the following delivery standards (MTL):
• MTL 5047: Emulsifiable corrosion inhibitor oils
• MTL 5048: Antifreeze
• MTL 5049: Water-soluble corrosion inhibitors
Coolant manufacturers are notified in writing if their product is approved.

To prevent cooling system damage:

• When topping up (following loss of coolant), ensure that not only water but also concentrate is added. The
specified antifreeze and/or corrosion inhibitor concentration must be maintained.
• Do not exceed an antifreeze concentration of 55% by volume (max. antifreeze) corrosion inhibitor. Con‐
centrations in excess of this diminish antifreeze protection and heat dissipation.
• 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, becau‐
se a certain amount of coolant remains in the engine after draining.
• A coolant circuit can usually not 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 coo‐
TIM-ID: 0000018568 - 010

lant 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 concentration in the coolant circuit and
adapt it if necessary.
Important
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 systems, the operating fluids approvals of the component
manufacturer must be observed!

A001061/43E 2024-01 | Coolants | 23

 Important
To avoid corrosion, it is not permissible to operate an engine with pure water without the addition of an ap‐
proved corrosion inhibitor!

 4.2 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 coo‐
lant circuit can cause an electrochemical reaction in conjunction with base metals (e.g. aluminum). As a result,
components made of base metals are subject to corrosion or even corrosive pitting. The coolant circuit beco‐
mes leaky at these points.

Requirements
Based on current knowledge, the following materials and coatings must not be used in an engine coolant cir‐
cuit 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 as material with the use of coolant containing nitrite, with the exception of the follo‐
wing two 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 exposed to
ammoniacal solutions (e.g. amines, ammonium, ...) and solutions containing nitrite or sulfide. Stress-corro‐
sion cracking is possible in the presence of tensile stress and a critical potential area. “Solutions” refer to
cleaning agents, coolants and similar substances.
• Avoid copper materials wherever possible or keep their effective surface area to the bare minimum. If cop‐
per materials cannot be avoided, purely organically inhibited coolants from the list of approved coolants
should be used wherever possible.

Non-metallic materials
• Do not use EPDM or silicone elastomers if emulsifiable corrosion inhibitor oils are used or other oils are
introduced to the coolant circuit.

Coolant filter / filter downstream of plant components

• If such filters are used, only products that do not contain additives may be used.
Supplementary additives such as silicates, nitrites etc. can diminish the protective effect or useful life of a
coolant and, possibly, attack the materials installed in the coolant circuit.

Information:
Consult the relevant Rolls-Royce Solutions specialist department in case of doubt about the use of materials
on the engine / externally mounted components in coolant circuits.

 4.3 Requirements imposed on freshwater
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 demineralized water.

For preparation of coolant with and without antifreeze:

Item Minimum Maximum
Total earth alkalines 1) 0 mmol/l 2.7 mmol/l
(Water hardness) 0°d 15°d
pH value at 20 °C 5.5 8.0
Chloride ions + fluoride ions 100 mg/l
Sulphate ions 100 mg/l
Bacteria 103CFU (colony forming unit )/ml
Fungi, yeasts Not permitted!

Table 21:
1)
= 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
Total earth alkalines1) 0.36 mmol/l 1.8 mmol/l
(Water hardness) 2°d 10°d
pH value at 20 °C 7.0 8.0
Chloride ions + fluoride ions 100 mg/l
Sulphate ions 100 mg/l
Bacteria 103CFU (colony forming unit )/ml
Fungi, yeasts Not permitted!

• 1°d = 1.25° English hardness
TIM-ID: 0000018571 - 008

If the water is too soft, this can result in foam formation and the water has to be hardened before application
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.

 4.4 Emulsifiable corrosion inhibitor oils
Emulsifiable corrosion inhibitor oils
Emulsions of approved emulsifiable corrosion inhibitor oils (1.0 – 2.0% by volume) and suitable freshwater
(→ Page 30) provide adequate corrosion protection.
However, they do not provide antifreeze protection.
A 2% by volume concentration must be used for initial filling.
The required quantity of corrosion inhibitor 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 temperature.
In maintenance stations or multi-engine installations, the complete amount of coolant required should be pre‐
pared in a separate container, it can then be used for initial filling or replenishment as required.
Important
Under unfavorable conditions, individual cases of bacterial attack may occur in the emulsifiable corrosion
inhibitor oils. Treat the coolant emulsion with biocide in this case! Refer to chapter “Flushing and cleaning
specifications for engine cooling circuits” (→ Page 210).

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 concent‐
ration 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 210).

Emulsifiable corrosion inhibitor oils must not be used in engines of the following series:
• Series 099
• Series 183
• Series 2000
• Series 396
• Series 4000
• Series S60
• Two-stroke cycle engines
Important
The series with application approval for emulsifiable corrosion inhibitor oils are listed in the chapter “Appro‐
ved coolants” (→ Page 165).

For the following listed serial numbers of the Series 20V956TB33 up to year of manufacture end of 2008 (as
per identification plate), only emulsifiable corrosion inhibitor oil must be used:
Serial number Serial number Serial number Serial number Serial number

Special approvals presently in effect remain valid.
Important
The emulsifiable corrosion inhibitor oil must never be used for coolant temperatures >90 °C!

 Flushing with water is required after every change to a different coolant product. For preserved engines (new
engines, field engines, reserve stock engines, etc.), a flushing run must be carried out prior to filling with engi‐
ne coolant. The necessary work is described in the chapter “Flushing and cleaning specifications for engine
coolant circuits” (→ Page 210).

 4.5 Antifreeze
The previous versions of these Fluids and Lubricants Specifications used the term “Corrosion-inhibiting anti‐
freeze”. The term “Antifreeze” is now used in this edition for reasons of clarity.
Antifreeze is necessary for engines without heating facilities and for operation in areas where below-freezing
temperatures may occur.

The BASF SE Glysantin G206 product for Arctic regions is no longer available. Stocks of this product may be
used up as long as the shelf life has not expired. Please contact your Rolls-Royce Solutions partner.
Most of the antifreezes approved by Rolls-Royce Solutions are based on ethylene glycol.
Approved antifreezes based on propylene glycol are listed in the relevant chapter (→ Page 209).
Provided that they are used in approved concentrations, antifreezes approved by Rolls-Royce Solutions provi‐
de effective protection against corrosion, see section “Operational monitoring” (→ Page 36).
The antifreeze concentration must be determined not only in accordance with the minimum anticipated tempe‐
ratures but also with the corrosion protection requirements.
Important
For approved coolant additives for the individual engine series, refer to chapter “Approved coolants”
(→ Page 165).

Special approvals presently in effect remain valid.

Important
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 antifreezes:

Series 538, 595 and 8000:

The use of antifreezes is not allowed for these engines.

Series 956-01, 956-02, 1163-02, 1163-03, 1163-04:

These engines are equipped with heating units. Because of their cooler capacity, antifreezes must not be
used.

Series 099, 183, 396:

Antifreezes may be used with these engines at seawater temperatures up to a maximum of 20 °C max.

Series 2000 and 4000:

On these engines with installed heat exchanger, antifreezes may be used at seawater temperatures up to a
maximum of 25 °C. The use of antifreezes is generally allowed on engines with no installed heat exchanger.
Ensure that the heat exchanger not installed on the engine is sufficiently dimensioned.
The specified maximum values for the seawater temperatures apply to all engines on a vessel that are cooled
with seawater, e.g. drive motor and onboard power generator.
TIM-ID: 0000018573 - 008

Important
The maximum admissible antifreeze content for Series 2000, model types 00 to 07 in marine applications is
limited to 40% by volume.

The possibility of using antifreezes for the above-mentioned series for other applications (e.g. genset, rail) is
described in the overview in the chapter “Approved coolants” (→ Page 165).

A001061/43E 2024-01 | Coolants | 33

 Note:
Propylene glycol-based antifreezes are stipulated for use in some types of applications. These products have
a lower thermal conductivity than the usual ethylene glycol products. This results in a higher temperature level
in the engine.
Important
Propylene glycol based coolants (→ Page 209) are approved for Series 4000 model types 01 to 05 used in
genset applications.
Restrictions apply to the use of propylene glycol based coolants for various model types in all other Series
4000 applications. See (→ Page 165)

Flushing with water is required at every change to a different coolant product. For preserved engines (new
engines, field engines, reserve stock engines, etc.), a flushing run must be carried out prior to filling with engi‐
ne coolant if the engines were preserved with an emulsifiable corrosion inhibitor. The necessary work is desc‐
ribed in the chapter “Flushing and cleaning specifications for engine coolant circuits” (→ Page 210).

 4.6 Coolant without antifreeze
The previous versions of these Fluids and Lubricants Specifications used the term “water-soluble corrosion
inhibitors”. For reasons of clarity, this publication uses the term “Coolant without antifreeze”. Emulsifiable cor‐
rosion inhibitor oils are not covered in this chapter. See chapter “Emulsifiable corrosion inhibitor oils”
(→ Page 31)
Coolant without antifreeze is required for higher coolant temperatures and large temperature drops in heat ex‐
changers, e.g. in TB systems (with plate-core heat exchanger) and TE systems in Series 099, 183, 2000, 396
and 4000 engines.
Provided that they are used in adequate concentration, coolants without antifreeze approved by Rolls-Royce
Solutions provide effective corrosion protection. The relevant concentration range for use is listed in the secti‐
on on operational monitoring.
Important
For approved coolant additives for the individual engine series, refer to chapter “Approved coolants”
(→ Page 165).

Special arrangements presently in effect remain valid.

Important
Coolant additives containing nitrite must not be used in conjunction with coolers that contain brass!

Flushing with water is required at every change to a different coolant product. For preserved engines (new
engines, field engines, reserve stock engines, etc.), a flushing run must be carried out prior to filling with engi‐
ne coolant if the engines were preserved with an emulsifiable corrosion inhibitor. The necessary work is desc‐
ribed in the chapter “Flushing and cleaning specifications for engine coolant circuits” (→ Page 210).

 4.7 Operational monitoring
Checking the freshwater and continuous monitoring of the coolant are essential for trouble-free engine operati‐
on. Freshwater and coolant must be checked at least once per year and after each filling. Analyses can be
carried out using the test kit (→ Table 24), or by an authorized laboratory. The test kit contains all the necessa‐
ry equipment, chemicals and instructions for use.
Important
Rolls-Royce Solutions recommends the diesel engine test kit from CMT-Technologie GmbH (/https://
www.cmttechnologies.de).

Table 25: Minimum requirements and methodology for coolant monitoring

The routine check of the coolant in accordance with table (→ Table 25) identifies minimum requirements. If
there are noticeable problems with the coolant with regard to
• Appearance (color, clouding, contamination, ...)
• Odor
TIM-ID: 0000018575 - 011

which are reflected in the results of the specified examinations, a laboratory analysis is recommended (see
A001080/.. “Handling of Laboratory Samples”). In case of silicon-containing coolants, the silicon content must
generally be checked in the laboratory because no rapid test that can be applied is available.
Orders for freshwater and coolant analysis may be placed with Rolls-Royce Solutions. In particular cases,
operational monitoring can cover more checks that those listed in table (→ Table 25). Please contact your
Rolls-Royce Solutions partner if necessary.

36 | Coolants | A001061/43E 2024-01

 Important
On Series 4000-04/-05 engines, an additional exhaust gas cooler is installed and the cooling system reacts
more sensitively. A regular check of the coolant is therefore very important to ensure trouble-free engine
operation. This check must be carried out annually or after 3000 operating hours and every time the coolant
is filled.
The concentration, pH value and silicon content (only with coolants that contain Si) must be within the values
specified in these Fluids and Lubricants Specifications.

Important
Due to thermal stress of the coolant in plants with preheating, a semi-annual analysis of the coolant is re‐
commended.

 5 Liquid Fuels
5.1 Diesel fuels – General information
Important
Dispose of used fluids and lubricants in accordance with local regulations!
Used oil must never be disposed of via the internal combustion engine!

Selecting a suitable diesel fuel

The quality of the fuel is very important for satisfactory engine performance, long engine service life and ac‐
ceptable exhaust emission levels.
Important
Diesel fuels are not available around the world in the quality specified in the tables “Mandatory fuel specifica‐
tions” (→ Table 32) and (→ Table 33) or (→ Page 82).
The fuel properties depend on many factors, in particular, region, time of year, and storage.

Important
If the fuel is to be stored in storage tanks for an extended period of time, we urgently recommend the use of
B0 fuel (biodiesel/FAME-free fuel). This recommendation is supported by a 2015 paper published by the Fe‐
deral Council for Information Security entitled “New findings on fuel storage life for standby power systems”.
This recommendation applies to the use of both fossil and paraffinic diesel. FAME (Fatty Acid Methyl Ester)
stands for first generation biodiesel.
Rolls-Royce Solutions provides project-specific consultation on request.
We recommend determining the oxidation stability (EN ISO 12205 / ASTM D 2274) to check the quality.

Unsuitable fuel usually leads to a reduced useful life of engine components and can also cause engine dama‐
ge.
Further details on fuel qualities, tank care and filtration are available in the publication “Useful information on
fuels, tank systems and filtration” (publication number A060631/..).

Diesel fuels in winter operation

At low outdoor temperatures, diesel fuel fluidity can be inadequate on account of paraffin precipitation. It is the
fuel supplier's responsibility to provide a fuel that will assure correct engine operation at the expected mini‐
mum temperatures and under the given geographical and other local conditions.
The operating company must ensure that there is always sufficient fuel to meet the corresponding climatic
requirements.
In order to prevent operational problems (e.g. clogged filters) during the winter months, diesel fuel with suitab‐
le cold-flow characteristics is available on the market. Deviations are possible during transitional periods and
in individual countries.
The following parameters define the cold-flow characteristics:
Test methods Limit values
ASTM
Cold filter plugging point (CFPP) D6371 DIN EN 116 See Note 1)
Cloud point D2500 DIN EN 3015 See Note 2)

Table 34:
TIM-ID: 0000018622 - 010

1)
Filter plugging point or Cold Filter Plugging Point (CFPP) denotes the temperature at which a test filter is
blocked by precipitated paraffins under defined conditions. This characteristic is used for diesel fuels as per
DIN EN 590 to describe the climatic requirements (e.g. summer and winter diesel). As a rule, however, the
fuel filters installed on the engine have a significantly higher filtration efficiency than the test filters.
2)
The cloud point is the temperature at which a liquid product becomes turbid in the test glass due to precipi‐
tation of paraffin. This must not be higher than the ambient temperature.
Rolls-Royce Solutions GmbH recommends the use of the cloud point for the evaluation of the cold-flow cha‐
racteristics.

 Use of fuels with higher sulfur content:
The engines are certified for operation with the fuels approved in these Fluids and Lubricants Specifications.
The component TBO specified in the Maintenance Schedule relates to operation of the engine with diesel fuel
as per DIN EN 590.
For operation with a high sulfur content in the fuel, the following must be observed:

Series 4000
When a fuel with sulfur content > 3000 mg/kg is used, the times specified in the Maintenance Schedule for
component TBO of the cylinder head may be reduced, see following table (→ Table 35).

TBO cylinder head as a function of sulfur content in the fuel

Sulfur content in fuel (mg/kg) TBO cylinder head (h)
<3000 According to Maintenance Schedule
3000 - 4500 70001)
4500 - 5000 5000 1)

Table 35:
= If the TBO for the cylinder head specified in the maintenance schedule is shorter, the shorter TBO shall
1)

always apply.
Engines with exhaust gas recirculation and/or exhaust gas aftertreatment must not be operated with excessive
sulfur content in the fuel. The limit values in the Fluids and Lubricants Specifications apply.
Important
If the sulfur content in the fuel is > 0.5% by weight (> 5000 mg/kg), please consult with Rolls-Royce Soluti‐
ons GmbH (Application).

When engines are operated with diesel fuels with a sulfur content of more than 0.5% by weight, appropriate
engine oils must be used. The criteria for the selection of engine oils can be found in the chapter “Engine oils”
(→ Page 7) under the notices regarding the use of diesel fuels with a higher sulfur content and Figure 2.

Note:
For safe and efficient engine operation, the limit values specified in (→ Table 32) and (→ Page 46), in particular
for water and overall contamination, must be observed for all approved fuel grades at the interface marked in
Fig. 3 item 6, or for Series 4000 U83 engines in Fig. 4 item 2 at the latest.
Important
In addition to the limit values specified in (→ Table 32) and (→ Table 33) or (→ Page 94), particle distribution
in the fuel according to ISO 4406 must be observed:

Particle distribution Test method Limit values

and prefilter (see size size
Fig. 3 item 5 and
Fig. 4 item 2)

Table 36:

48 | Liquid Fuels | A001061/43E 2024-01

 Important
The limit values specified in (→ Table 36) must already be observed in the supply between the last tank befo‐
re the engine and the prefilter (if necessary, with water separator).

For plants without a prefilter, this refers to the feed between the last tank and the scope of supply of Rolls-
Royce Solutions. For the analysis of the fuel quality, an interface (sample extraction cock) must be provided
for sample extraction during operation.
For existing plants without an accessible feed, a sample extraction point in the last tank before the scope of
supply of Rolls-Royce Solutions is permissible.

Note:
With poorer particle distribution, it is necessary to integrate further/more-optimized filter stages in the fuel sys‐
tem to achieve the operational life of fuel filters and components of the injection system.
The prefilters approved by Rolls-Royce Solutions have been validated as providing sufficient filtration for the
limit values specified for this interface.
Any engine damage or impairment resulting from the use of fuel grades or prefilters other than those approved
by Rolls-Royce Solutions in accordance with (→ Table 32) and (→ Table 33) or (→ Page 94), as well as chap‐
ter 5.2 (→ Page 52), are not deemed as representing a defect under the terms of the warranty given by Rolls-

 5.2.8 Paraffinic diesel fuel according to EN 15940
Standards define paraffinic diesel fuels as being fuels produced by synthesis or hydrogenation processes.
They are specified in the EN 15940 standard.

Synthesis
In this case, the term synthesis is used to denote the Fischer-Tropsch reaction. These fuels are therefore also
often referred to as Fischer-Tropsch fuels or also XtL (X to Liquid), whereby “X” stands for the type of initial
feedstock. Such fuels are produced by first generating a mixture of carbon monoxide and hydrogen, referred
to as synthesis gas, from the initial feedstock. This is then used to create the paraffinic fuel via Fischer-
Tropsch synthesis by means of chain growth.

Hydrogenation
Hydrogenation is the chemical reaction of the feedstock with hydrogen. The initial feedstock used are vegetab‐
le oils/waste fats and waste materials containing oil that are not in competition with foodstuff production. This
fuel is marketed as an HVO = Hydrotreated Vegetable Oil.

Depending on the initial feedstock, paraffinic fuels are designated, for example, as follows:
• HVO = Hydrotreated Vegetable Oil, initial feedstock: Biomass
• GtL = Gas to Liquid, initial feedstock: Natural gas, biogas
• BtL = Biomass to Liquid, initial feedstock: Biomass
As a result of the production process, paraffinic fuels consist almost entirely of linear or branched hydrocarbon
chains, so-called alkanes. They do not contain any sulfur and are almost free of aromatics. Due to their chemi‐
cal composition, paraffinic fuels have different properties to fossil diesel fuels in terms of higher ignitability and
lower density. The result is an overall reduction in untreated emissions.
EN 590 specifies that fatty acid methyl ester (FAME as per EN 14214) can be blended into paraffinic diesel
fuel as per EN 15940 by up to 7% by volume.
Paraffinic diesel fuels are specified in ASTM D975 (Grade1-D and Grade 2-D, S15) in the U.S., just like fossil
diesel fuels. This is possible as this standard does not specify any limit value for density, in contrast to EN
590. These paraffinic diesel fuels can also be used provided that they comply with the fuel values listed in
table (→ Page 94). In the U.S., paraffinic diesel fuels are often referred to as “R99” fuels or “renewables”.
The quality of the fuel is very important for satisfactory engine performance, long engine service life and ac‐
ceptable exhaust emission levels. Paraffinic fuels must therefore meet the following fuel specifications.

Effects of paraffinic diesel fuels on elastomer components

Paraffinic diesel fuels are compatible with conventional elastomer materials such as NBR (Nitrile Butadiene
Rubber) or FKM (fluoro-rubber). Because they are free of aromatics, they are less susceptible to swelling
(above all, NBR gaskets) compared to fossil diesel fuels that contain aromatics. For this reason, the possibility
of leakages when transitioning from fossil diesel fuels to paraffinic diesel fuels cannot be completely excluded.

Procedure for changing over from fossil to paraffinic diesel fuels:

A change-over is possible without any problems. RRS recommends routine inspection of the seals to verify
leak-tightness in the first 4 weeks after switching to paraffinic diesel.

Notes on operation with water separators

Paraffinic diesel fuel has a greater tendency to discharge free water into water separators compared with con‐
ventional fossil diesel fuel. Slightly higher water discharge in water separators in comparison with fossil diesel
fuel is normal.

Blending paraffinic diesel fuels with conventional fossil diesel fuels:

Paraffinic diesel fuels are so-called “drop-in” fuels.
This means that the end customer can mix paraffinic diesel fuel with conventional fossil fuels in any ratio wi‐
thout having to make any adjustments to the engine or fuel system.
This also means that the end customer can fill up with both paraffinic and conventional fossil diesel fuels ac‐
cording to the tables “Mandatory fuel specifications (not applicable to Series 4000Mx5 IMO II and IMO III)”
and “Mandatory fuel values for Series 4000Mx5 IMO II and IMO III (→ Page 43) without having to empty/clean
the tank first.
“Premium diesel fuels” which comply with EN 590 and also reduce CO2 emissions by around 20% are also
available on the market. Paraffinic diesel fuel in accordance with EN 15940 is already added to these fuels at
the manufacturer's. The amount of paraffinic diesel fuel added, however, is only high enough to ensure ob‐
servance of the required minimum density limit value specified in EN 590.

 5.2.9 Engine operation on diesel fuel with a biodiesel content of up to 30%
Important
Project-specific approval from Rolls-Royce Solutions GmbH is possible upon request.

The term biodiesel is used for what the standards refer to as “FAME” (Fatty Acid Methyl Ester) in this case.
More information about diesel fuel containing up to 30% FAME is provided below and in the Customer Infor‐
mation entitled “Diesel fuel containing up to 30% FAME” (publication number A060632/..).

Use of diesel fuel containing up to 30% FAME

Biodiesel mixtures consist of fuels which are obtained from biogenic raw materials and mixed with conventio‐
nal diesel fuel. For instance, B20 denotes a mixture comprising 20% biodiesel and 80% fuel based on crude
oil/mineral oil. mtu engines were not specially designed to be operated with biodiesel mixtures. For this rea‐
son, the use of biodiesel mixtures may have negative effects in terms of engine power, service and mainte‐
nance requirements, emissions and useful life.
Operators of mtu engines therefore need to be clear about the effects that biodiesel may have on their engi‐
nes, and must take all of the necessary measures to ensure the reliability and safety of their engines. This
chapter provides Rolls-Royce Solutions customers with important information on the use of biodiesel mixtures
in mtu engines and explains the potential impact these fuels may have on the Rolls-Royce Solutions warranty.
Please read this information carefully before using biodiesel mixtures in mtu engines.

1. Regarding the use of approved biodiesel mixtures

At present, only biodiesel mixtures with up to 7% biodiesel (in accordance with EN 590) or 5% biodiesel (in
accordance with ASTM D 975) are approved for use in the Fluids and Lubricants Specifications.
Although not currently approved in the Fluids and Lubricants Specifications, biodiesel mixtures containing up
to 30% biodiesel (B30) may be used in the engines listed in section 6 below,
• PROVIDING THAT the following requirements are met:
– The biodiesel mixtures are specified according to the following standards:
1. 3675.K/24/DJM (standard for diesel fuel with 10% biodiesel content, i.e. B10, in Indonesia)
2. 28.K/10/DJM.T (standard for diesel fuel with 20% biodiesel content, i.e. B20, in Indonesia)
3. 0234.K/10/DJM.S/2019 (standard for diesel fuel with 30% biodiesel content, i.e. B30, in Indonesia)
4. EN 16734 (European standard for diesel fuel with 10% biodiesel content, i.e. B10)
5. EN 16709 (European standard for diesel fuel with 20% and 30% biodiesel content, i.e. B20 and B30)
6. ASTM D7467 (US standard for diesel fuel with 6% to 20% biodiesel content, i.e. B6 - B20)
7. The biodiesel used for mixing complies with the standards EN 14214, ASTM D 6751 or SNI 71825
8. The distilled diesel fuel used for mixing is approved in the latest version of the Fluids and Lubricants
Specifications.
9. The operator complies with the operating requirements given in section 2 and the additional mainte‐
nance recommendations from section 5.
Important
The provisions with regard to requirements placed on fuel may differ depending on legislation and applicati‐
on of the engine. The operator is responsible for ensuring that only fuels which comply with the applicable
provisions are used in the engines.

98 | Series-dependent approval of fuel grades for mtu engines | A001061/43E 2024-01

 2. Operating requirements for the use of diesel fuels with a biodiesel content of up to 30%
The following operating requirements must be met when biodiesel mixtures are used in mtu engines:
a For engines used in standby gensets, an additive must be used to improve the oxidation stability of the
biodiesel.
b All engines used in fire-fighting pumps, fire-extinguishing equipment or police equipment must be tho‐
roughly flushed with pure, biodiesel-free, high-quality distilled diesel fuel which complies with the Fluids
and Lubricants Specifications each time they are operated with a biodiesel mixture. Furthermore, an
additive must be used in these engines to improve the oxidation stability of the biodiesel.
c All engines which are only used seasonally or which are not operated for extended periods between
uses must be thoroughly flushed with pure, biodiesel-free, high-quality distilled diesel fuel which com‐
plies with the Fluids and Lubricants Specifications before they are decommissioned.
d Biodiesel mixtures can not be used in engines equipped with an exhaust gas aftertreatment system
(e.g. catalytic converters, particle filters (DPF) and/or systems for reducing NOx emissions, e.g. SCR
systems).

3. Impact on the Rolls-Royce Solutions warranty

The manufacturer shall not be responsible for failures which can be attributed to the use of fuels not approved
in these Fluids and Lubricants Specifications and such failures shall therefore not be covered by the Rolls-
Royce Solutions warranty. Rolls-Royce Solutions shall reject all warranty claims connected to the use of bio‐
diesel mixtures with a biodiesel content of more than 7% (in accordance with EN 590) or 5% (in accordance
with ASTM D 975) if the operator is unable to prove that the operating requirements and recommendations
contained in this letter were met and strictly followed. Regardless of this, Rolls-Royce Solutions shall on no
account be liable for providing compensation for costs arising from the effects described below in section 4.
Important
All properties guaranteed by Rolls-Royce Solutions in terms of assured characteristics with regard to engine
power and/or operational availability only apply to the cases in which fuels approved by Rolls-Royce Soluti‐
ons are used and the engine demonstrates no defects or damage arising from operation with fuels not ap‐
proved in these Fluids and Lubricants Specifications.

4. Effects of biodiesel on engines/exclusion of liability

The biodiesel contained in biodiesel mixtures is a natural product and therefore undergoes natural aging proc‐
esses. These may have a negative effect on the engines in which the biodiesel mixtures are used. The effects
that biodiesel may have on engines are explained below.
TIM-ID: 0000072504 - 010

A001061/43E 2024-01 | Series-dependent approval of fuel grades for mtu engines | 99

 Important: THESE EFFECTS ARE NOT FAULTS CAUSED BY THE ENGINE MANUFACTURER. THEY
ARE THEREFORE EXCLUDED FROM THE Rolls-Royce Solutions WARRANTY. ROLLS-ROYCE
SOLUTIONS SHALL NOT ASSUME ANY LIABILITY FOR COSTS ARISING FROM THE EFFECTS
DESCRIBED BELOW.
• The formation of deposits may cause components to become “sticky”, which potentially restricts their move‐
ment. On engines with long downtimes, this can result in a situation where the engine can no longer be
started. This is why additives for improving the oxidation stability of the biodiesel must be employed when
biodiesel mixtures are used in standby gensets. ROLLS-ROYCE SOLUTIONS SHALL ACCEPT NO LIABI‐
LITY IN THE EVENT THAT THE ENGINE IN AN STANDBY GENSET CAN NOT BE STARTED AS A RE‐
SULT OF THE FORMATION OF DEPOSITS.
• The formation of deposits may have an adverse effect on the interaction of components inside the unit. This
results in an increased risk of components failing, and even the breakdown of entire cylinders. The high
operating temperatures in the surroundings encourage the formation of mineral deposits, other deposits
and encrustations which may render the valve unable to correctly regulate the fuel supply. This means that
it is no longer possible for the quantity of fuel required at full load to be injected into the engine, thereby
reducing the maximum engine power.
• The viscosity properties of biodiesel are less favorable at low temperatures. The use of biodiesel at low
temperatures may therefore cause the fuel filter to become clogged.
• On all engines, lubricating the piston skirts with oil leads to a small amount of fuel entering the engine oil.
This is generally of little importance with conventional diesel fuels in accordance with these Fluids and Lu‐
bricants Specifications since the fuel evaporates quickly upon reaching the operating temperature. On the
other hand, biodiesel evaporates much less effectively, with the result that more biodiesel accumulates in
the oil. Aging of the biodiesel can therefore cause residues to form, filters to become clogged and ultimately
cause the engine to come to a stop, resulting in significantly shorter oil change intervals.
• Compared to conventional diesel fuels according to these Fluids and Lubricants Specifications, biodiesel
has a lower energy density. Operating the engine with B20 results in a power reduction of approximately
2% and an increase in fuel consumption of around 3%.
• Biodiesel contains chemical components which can interact with the sensors in the exhaust gas recirculati‐
on system in such a way that incorrect data is reported to the engine control system. This can have conse‐
quences such as engine operation being adapted to the wrong values and emissions therefore no longer
complying with the applicable provisions. This is why biodiesel must not be used in engines which feature
exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) and/or exhaust gas aftertreatment systems.
• Compared to conventional diesel fuels according to these Fluids and Lubricants Specifications, biodiesel
has a higher water solubility, meaning that a higher proportion of water should be expected depending on
the fuel temperature. This can lead to increased corrosion and faster microbe growth in the fuel system.
Due to the higher proportion of water in biodiesel, reduced water separator performance must be expected.
• Biodiesel is a solvent. After switching over to a biodiesel mixture, impurities and certain deposits may beco‐
me loose in the tank and lines, causing the fuel filter to be subjected to an increased accumulation of these.
Biodiesel mixtures may also strip paint when they come into contact with painted surfaces.
• On engines with exhaust gas aftertreatment systems, the functioning of the catalytic converter may be im‐
paired as biodiesel mixtures can contain a higher proportion of trace elements (e.g. calcium, magnesium,
sodium, potassium and phosphorus) than conventional diesel fuels according to these Fluids and Lubri‐
cants Specifications. This means that the legally prescribed emissions limits are not complied with and the
operating license becomes invalid. Furthermore, legally prescribed technologies for checking emissions on
these engines (e.g. NOx monitoring diagnostics) lead to a significant decrease in engine power. The above-
mentioned trace elements may also result in excess ash formation and accumulations in the soot filters and
catalytic converters. Excess ash formation results in a constantly rising exhaust back pressure and can the‐
TIM-ID: 0000072504 - 010

refore cause a slow reduction in engine power.

The above-mentioned points do not constitute a complete risk assessment. Rolls-Royce Solutions is unable to
assess all biodiesel variants and their long-term effects on mtu products.

 5. Additional maintenance recommendations
The following requirements must be met to ensure the quality and operational availability of your engine:
• Select the highest possible content of distilled fuel. Only use fuels approved in these Fluids and Lubricants
Specifications.
• After switching over to a biodiesel mixture, replace the fuel filters after 50 operating hours at the latest (in
order to remove the impurities which become loose from the tank and lines).
• The fuel filters and fuel prefilters must be renewed every 250 operating hours.
• Install a fuel preheating system if the engine is operated at temperatures below 0 °C (32 °F). This can redu‐
ce the negative effect on the fuel supply.
• Follow the recommendations below with regard to engine oil and maintenance:
– If biodiesel mixtures are used, the change intervals for engine oil and filters must be halved in compari‐
son to the intervals stated in these Fluids and Lubricants Specifications.
– The component TBO of the LP fuel pump, the O-rings in the LP fuel system as well as the valves in the
fuel filter head is shortened to TBO/3.
– In addition to changing the oil and filters on time, the engine oil and filters must be analyzed regularly in
order to ensure that the oil quality is correct. Interval: Every 100 operating hours or every three months,
depending on which comes first. A decision must be made to either further reduce or extend the change
intervals on the basis of the results.
– The oil and oil filter must be replaced before biodiesel is used.
– High-quality engine oil must be used. Operating the engine without high-quality category 2 oil leads to a
deterioration in oil quality. These Fluids and Lubricants Specifications contain a list of approved oil types.
• Use a suitable tank and line system:
– Do not use any components which contain zinc, copper or NBR seals.
– Ensure that the system can be filled up to the fill line.
– Minimize the entry of atmospheric oxygen through the tank vent in the event of temperature fluctuations,
etc. (e.g. by installing a pressure relief valve and filter; contact your tank supplier to do this).
– It is recommended to use a tank vent with humidity separator.
• For systems without a water separator: Retrofit a water separator to reduce the risk of microbe growth and
corrosion in the fuel system.
• Regular maintenance of the water separator is mandatory. Separated water must be drained off daily, de‐
pending on the water quantity.
• Avoid longer engine downtimes and temporary shutdowns (>1 week for B20 or >3 days for B30). If downti‐
mes can not be avoided, a suitable additive must be used to improve oxidation stability. Rolls-Royce Soluti‐
ons can recommend a suitable additive on request.
• For B30:
The engine must be started once within 24 hours and run at idle for 5 minutes.
• For engines used seasonally, we strongly recommend flushing the fuel system, including the fuel tank, with
pure, biodiesel-free, high-quality distilled diesel fuel in accordance with these Fluids and Lubricants Specifi‐
cations before the engine is shut down for a relatively long period (>1 week for B20 or >3 days for B30).
The reason for this is the lack of empirical data for the country-specific fuel specification.
• Prevent biodiesel from coming into contact with painted surfaces to avoid damaging and stripping the paint.
• Furthermore, always ensure that the most recent version of the Fluids and Lubricants Specifications is avai‐
lable and its contents are observed.
More extensive preventative measures are additionally required for some applications. Our product support
department is available to answer any questions you may have on this topic.

 5.3 Engine operation on pure biodiesel (B100) and vegetable oil
The standardized generic term “FAME”, (Fatty Acid Methyl Ester) is used here to designate biodiesel fuels.

General notes
• 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 catalyst which may be installed
by the vehicle / equipment manufacturers at their own risk.
Important
Our company accepts no responsibility for and provides no warranty in respect of any fault or damage con‐
nected in any way with the use of FAME of a lower quality or resulting from noncompliance with our specifi‐
cations on operation using FAME. All resultant irregularities and consequential damage lie outside our res‐
ponsibility.

The following engines are approved/not approved for operation with 100% FAME in compliance with DIN EN

Important
The use of diesel fuel with a FAME content of max. 7% in compliance with EN 590:2022-05 is unproblema‐
tic. Such fuel may also be used in engines which have not been approved for operation with FAME, without
affecting oil drain intervals.

A001061/43E 2024-01 | Liquid Fuels | 103

 Fuel
• The FAME must comply with DIN EN 14214:2019-05. Operation with fuels of lower quality can lead to da‐
mage 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 Lubri‐
cants Specifications, Sheet 228.5 or Oil Category 3 in accordance with these Fluids and Lubricants Specifi‐
cations. Engine oils in accordance with Sheet 228.3 or Oil Category 2 as per these 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 condi‐
tions chemical reactions may take place between FAME and the engine oil. This can lead to engine dama‐
ge.
• In case of straight FAME operation, therefore, the change intervals for engine oil and oil filters must be re‐
duced.
• For Series 457, 460, 900 and 500 engines, special equipment is available which facilitates an increase in
the engine oil change intervals for operation with 100% FAME (→ Table 70). This involves fitting the engi‐
nes with special equipment Code MK21 (special unit pump) and Code MK04 (fuel prefilter with heated wa‐
ter separator).

Engines fitted with special equipment Code Reduction of engine oil change interval to 50% of the stan‐

Table 70:
Important
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.
• FAME has a high cleaning effect, which results in a risk of clogging by loosened deposits.
If a switch has been made to FAME, a fuel filter and engine oil change should therefore be carried out after
approx. 25 operating hours.
• 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% to 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 con‐
gestion. To do this, the engine must be flushed for at least 30 minutes with pure, biodiesel-free, high-grade
distilled diesel fuel in accordance with these Fluids and Lubricants Specifications.

Table 71: Diesel fuels for engines with exhaust gas aftertreatment
If the specifications in the tables are not observed, the specified TBO cannot be guaranteed.
Warranty claim cases that result from the use of an impermissible fuel quality shall be rejected.

106 | Liquid Fuels | A001061/43E 2024-01

 If a fuel is present that does not comply with the specifications, in certain circumstances Rolls-Royce Solutions
can assist in the selection of appropriate improvement measures.
Any possible restrictions related to engine requirements must also be observed.
Important
Use of diesel fuel with a percentage of biodiesel (FAME, fatty acid methyl ester) of max. 7% in accordance
with EN 590:2022-05 is unproblematic. The use of fuels with an increased percentage of biodiesel is not
permitted for plants with exhaust gas aftertreatment because trace elements they may contain can act as
catalyst poisons and lead to filter obstructions.

Important
Commercially available diesel fuels normally contain considerably less ash-forming agents that those certi‐
fied by the relevant standards (typical ash content max. 0.001% = 10 mg/kg). The particulate filters are de‐
signed for these low loads accordingly because the exhaust system would otherwise be completely overdi‐
mensioned. The maximum ash content in fuel specified by Rolls-Royce Solutions has been defined to ensu‐
re that the particulate filter reaches the assured service life without the back pressure of the filter becoming
too high for the engine.

Important
The use of fuel additives for minimizing wear is not permitted on plants with exhaust gas aftertreatment.

Use of fuel additives for lowering soot regeneration temperature on plants with
particulate filters
Fuel additives for lowering the soot regeneration temperature (FBC, fuel borne catalyst) are generally not ap‐
proved. The exhaust gas aftertreatment systems from Rolls-Royce Solutions are designed such that soot re‐
generation takes place without additives.

 5.5 Heating oil EL
Heating oil differs from diesel fuel mainly because of the following non-specified characteristics:
– Cetane number
– Sulfur content
– Oxidation stability
– Corrosion effect on copper
– Lubricity
– Low temperature behavior
If the heating requirements comply with the specifications of the diesel fuel EN 590:2022-05 (summer and win‐
ter quality), there are no technical reasons why it can not be used in the diesel engine

 5.6 Supplementary fuel additives
Supplementary fuel additives
The engines are designed such that satisfactory operation with normal, commercially available diesel fuels is
ensured. Many of these fuels already contain performance-enhancing additives.
The additives are added by the supplier as the party responsible for product quality.
The anti-wear additives (→ Page 110), biocides (→ Page 110) and cleaning additives are exceptions.
Important
Attention is drawn to the fact that the use of diesel fuels or additives other than those stipulated in these
Fluids and Lubricants Specifications is always the responsibility of the operator. Prior to using a fuel additive
approved by Rolls-Royce Solutions GmbH, the operating company must additionally obtain approval for the
use of this additive from the fuel manufacturer to exclude the possibility of any incompatibilities of the additi‐
ve with the fuel or additives already contained in the fuel from the time of production.
Additives must not contain inorganic substances because they can cause damage to the engine and the ex‐
haust gas aftertreatment system.

Diesel fuels with sulfur content < 500 mg/kg

Excessive valve-seat wear occurs on engine series featuring cylinder heads without valve-seat inserts (both
inlet and exhaust valves) when low-sulfur fuel grades are used (sulfur content < 500 mg/kg). This applies to
the following engine series:
Series Use of additives
331 up to year of manufacture 1969 Yes*
362 Yes*
396 up to year of manufacture 1975 Yes*
493 Yes*
538 Yes
595 Yes
652 Yes*
956 Yes
1163 up to model type 01-03 Yes*

Table 72:
* = if the cylinder head features valve seat inserts, it is not necessary to use an anti-wear additive in the fuel.
If anti-wear additives are mixed in, this wear can be reduced. The approved supplementary additives must be
mixed with the fuel in the predefined concentration. The additive must be filled before every refueling.

Table 73:
Important
The use of anti-wear additives is not permitted on engines/plants with exhaust gas aftertreatment!

Microorganisms in fuel
Bacterial attack and sludge formation can 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.
The biocides approved by Rolls-Royce Solutions are listed in table (→ Page 110).

Approved biocides
Biocides should have a pure hydrocarbon structure, i.e. should only consist of the following components:
• Carbon
• Hydrogen
• Oxygen
• Nitrogen
They must not contain inorganic substances because they can cause damage to the engine and the exhaust
gas aftertreatment system. The use of halogenated biocides is prohibited due to their effects on the engine
system and the environment.
Biocides that contain neither inorganic nor halogenated substances may be used for engine systems with ex‐
haust gas aftertreatment.
Approval for biocides that meet the above requirements is possible upon request.

 5.7 Unsuitable materials in the diesel fuel circuit
Components made of copper and zinc materials
Even small amounts of zinc, lead and copper may leave deposits in diesel fuel injection systems, particularly
in modern, state-of-the-art injection systems. For this reason, levels of zinc, lead or copper in tanks, fuel lines
and filter elements shall not exceed the manufacturer's validated specifications.
Avoid using materials containing these metals as this may initiate catalytic reactions in the fuel leading to un‐
desirable deposits in the injection system.

Requirements
Based on current knowledge, the following materials and coatings must not be used in a diesel fuel circuit
because negative mutual reactions can occur even with approved coolant additives.

Metallic materials
• Zinc, also as surface protection
• Zinc-based alloys
• Copper
• Copper-based alloys with the exception of CuNi10 and CuNi30 (e.g. seawater cooler)
• Tin, also as surface protection
• Magnesium-based alloys

Non-metallic materials
• Elastomers: Nitrile butadiene rubber, natural rubber, chloroprene rubber, butyl rubber, EPDM
• Silicone elastomer
• Fluorosilicone elastomer
• Polyurethane
• Polyvinyl

Information:
Consult the relevant Rolls-Royce Solutions specialist department in case of doubt about the use of materials
on the engine / externally mounted components in fuel circuits.

 6 NOx Reducing Agent AUS 32 / AUS 40 for
SCR Exhaust Gas Aftertreatment Systems
6.1 General information
SCR (Selective Catalytic Reduction) catalysts can be used for NOx emissions reduction. The reducing agent
(urea-water solution with an urea concentration of 32.5% or 40%) in such catalysts reduces the nitrogen oxide
emissions.
To ensure efficient operation of the exhaust gas aftertreatment system, compliance of the reducing agent with
the quality requirements stipulated in DIN 70070 / ISO 222 41-1 or ISO 18611-1 is mandatory.
With ISO 18611-1, the cleanness requirements (→ Table 75) that deviate from the standard must be observed.
In Europe, this reducing agent is often offered under the brand name “AdBlue”.
The test methods to determine the quality and characteristics of the reducing agent are specified in the stan‐
dards DIN 70071 / ISO 222 41-2 / ISO 18611-2. The following table (→ Page 114) shows the quality characte‐
ristics and associated test procedures for reducing agents (extract from the standard ISO 222 41-1 and ISO
18611-1).
mtu SCR systems are usually designed for a concentration of 32.5 % urea.
For Series 2000 marine engines with SCR (12V2000M41A IMO III / 2000Mx7), the use of the NOx reducing
agent with 40% (AUS40) is also permitted.
For Series 4000 marine engines with SCR, Series 4000 M03 (8V4000M63 IMO III / 12V4000M73L, M93,
M93L / 16V4000M73, M73L, M93 / 20V4000M73L, M93 / 20V4000M53B IMO III) and Series 4000 M05, the
use of the NOx reducing agent with 40% urea (AUS40) is also permitted.
Important
The purity requirements for the reducing agent then correspond to those in the standards for AUS 32 / AUS
40 (in accordance with ISO 222 41-1 or ISO 18611-1, see table (→ Page 114)).
The use of AUS 32 or AUS 40 with a lower purity level can lead to shortened maintenance intervals for the
SCR substrates.
A mixture in the tank of 32.5% and 40% reducing agent is permitted for the above-mentioned engines.

Important
The use of antifreeze additives for AUS 32 and AUS 40, or so-called winter urea, is generally not approved.

 8 Approved Coolants
8.1 Series- and application-based usability of coolant additives
All details are based on the coolant circuit on the engine side, no allowance is made
for external add-on components.
For details and special features, see “General” (→ Page 23) and “Unsuitable materials in the coolant circuit”
(→ Page 29) in the chapter “Coolants”.
Important
• In the case of an engine coolant circuit with no light metal elements but with add-on components contai‐
ning light metal (e.g. external cooling system), the coolant approvals for cooling systems containing light
metal shall apply. If you have any doubts about a coolant application, consult your contact at Rolls-Royce
Solutions.
• The maximum admissible antifreeze content for Series 2000, model types 00 to 07 in marine applications
is limited to 40% by volume.
• For Series 4000C01 to C03 and 4000R01 to R03 propylene glycol based coolants, only the 40% ready
mixture is approved for use.

Any deviant special agreements between the customer and Rolls-Royce Solutions GmbH remain valid.

 9 Flushing and Cleaning Specifications for
Engine Coolant Circuits
9.1 General information
These cleaning instructions apply to mtu diesel and gas engines.
Assemblies installed in the engine cooling circuits are e.g. expansion tank, preheating unit, heat exchanger,
coolant cooler, oil heat exchanger, intercooler, charge-air preheater, fuel preheater etc.
In the course of time, sludge deposits from aging coolant additives can accumulate in the coolant circuits. Re‐
duced cooling capacity, clogged vent lines and drain points, and dirty coolant level sight glasses can result.
Inadequate water quality or incorrect coolant preparation can also heavily contaminate the system.
If such conditions occur, the coolant circuit must be flushed out with freshwater, repeatedly if necessary.
If these flushing processes are insufficient or if the system is too heavily contaminated, the coolant circuit and
all affected assemblies must be cleaned.
Only clean freshwater (no river or seawater) must be used for flushing.
Only products approved by Rolls-Royce Solutions GmbH or corresponding products at the specified concent‐
rations may be used for cleaning. The specified cleaning procedure is mandatory.
Immediately after flushing or cleaning, fill the coolant circuits with treated engine coolant as stipulated in the
current Fluids and Lubricants Specifications A001061/.. (→ Page 165). Otherwise there is a danger of corrosi‐
on!
Important
Fluids and lubricants (e.g. treated engine coolant), used flushing water, cleaning agents, and cleaning soluti‐
ons can be hazardous materials. Certain regulations must be observed when handling, storing and dispo‐
sing of these substances.
These regulations are contained in the manufacturer's instructions, statutory requirements, and technical
guidelines valid in the individual countries. Great differences can apply from country to country, and a gene‐
rally valid statement on applicable regulations is therefore not possible within these flushing and cleaning
specifications.
Users of the products named in these specifications are therefore obliged to inform themselves of the locally
valid regulations and to follow them strictly. Rolls-Royce Solutions GmbH accepts no liability whatsoever for
improper or illegal use of the fluids and lubricants / cleaning agents which it has approved.

Important
Scrap oil heat exchangers from engines with bearing or piston seizures or friction damage!

 9.2 Freshwater requirements for cleaning solutions and flushing
water
Important
Only clean, clear water with values in accordance with those in the following table must be used for prepa‐
ring cleaning solutions. If the limit values for the water are exceeded, hardness or mineral content can be
decreased by adding demineralized water.
The cleaning agent concentrates used for the preparation of the cleaning solution must not contain more
than 100 mg/l chloride and/or 100 mg/l sulfate.

Item Minimum Maximum

16. Allow the engine to cool down to 35 °C.
17. Drain the Glysacorr P113 flushing solution completely.
18. Fill engine with coolant.
19. Rust removal is complete.
20. Put engine into operation.
Important
The engine coolant circuit must always be vented properly to ensure complete filling. This applies when fil‐
ling the engine with water, cleaning agent, corrosion inhibitor and coolant as well as in engine operation with
one of the mentioned media.
In zones where air is present, neither rust removal nor preservation take place, and corrosion occurs again.
All crankcase openings, hose connection openings, etc. must be closed immediately if no longer required.
There is a risk of corrosion in the area of the openings.

 9.7 Cleaning engine coolant circuit assemblies

1. Remove, disassemble and clean assemblies in the engine coolant circuit that are exposed to heavy sludge
deposits e.g. expansion tanks, preheating units, heat exchangers (coolant cooler, oil heat-exchanger, charge-
air cooler, charge-air preheater, fuel preheater etc.) and lower sections of pipework.
2. Before cleaning, examine degree of contamination on water sides.
3. In case of lime deposits that contain oil and grease, degrease the water side first.
4. Deposits in charge-air coolers caused by oil mist can be removed using Kluthe Hakutex 60.
5. Remove hard lime deposits with a decalcifying product. In the event of stubborn lime deposits, if necessary a
10% inhibited hydrochloric acid solution may have to be used.
6. Dissolve deposits on and in heat-exchanger elements in a heated cleaning bath. Observe the manufacturer's
specifications and use only approved detergents in the permissible concentration, see (→ Page 212)
Important
Deposits on the oil side can also be dissolved in a kerosene bath.
The dwell time in the cleaning bath depends on the type and degree of contamination, as well as the tempe‐
rature and activity of the bath.

7. Clean individual components such as housings, covers, pipes, sight glasses, heat-exchanger elements with
superheated steam, a nylon brush (soft) and a powerful water jet.
Important
In order to avoid damage:
Do not use hard or sharp-edged tools (steel brushes, scrapers, etc.) (oxide protective layer).
The pressure of the water jet must not be ≤ 60 bar (to avoid damage, e.g. of the cooler fins).

8. 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.
9. Check that all components are in perfect condition, repair or replace as necessary.
10. 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.
11. After installing all assemblies, flush engine coolant circuit once, see (→ Page 213).
12. Check coolant system for leaks during initial operation of engine.
Important
For further information, see the Maintenance Manual for the engine in question. TIM-ID: 0000037714 - 007

 9.8 Coolant circuits contaminated with bacteria, fungi or yeast
Disinfection and prevention
Microbiologically contaminated systems:
The disinfecting agent is added to the contaminated coolant.
The prerequisite for effective disinfection of the engine coolant system is that the disinfecting agent has a suffi‐
ciently long reaction time and can reach all areas of the cooling system. All external storage tanks and pipes
must also be reached by the disinfecting agent.
Dwell time: Not less than 12 hours
Temperature: Maximum temperature 55 °C (higher temperatures destroy the disinfecting agent)

Prevention:
If an engine is to be shutdown for a long period, disinfecting agent can be added as a preventive measure.
Before the engine is put back into operation, always ensure that the coolant is still in good condition. During
return to operation, the coolant containing disinfecting agent can remain in the system and be reused.

The dosing (→ Page 212) and work safety specifications must be strictly observed.

Flushing
When the coolant is drained, the cooling circuit must be flushed with freshwater. The coolant circuit must be
flushed as long as visible contamination can be detected and the flushing water has the same pH value as the
fresh water used (maximum deviation of pH value < 1).

Refill
Before refilling with coolant, ensure that the cooling system is free of contaminants.
Refilling must be performed directly after flushing to avoid the risk of corrosion!

 10 Cleaning the Product Externally
10.1 General information
If, in the course of time, contaminants such as oil deposits and leaves have accumulated on the engine, it can
be necessary to clean it. Clean the engine only superficially and with great care.
Wash-cleaning the engine can – at the worst – have the opposite effect if carried out incorrectly.
To prevent damage, observe the following before starting work and applying cleaning agents:
• Protect electrical components (battery-charging generator, plug connections, ignition cables, etc.) and the
intake area from undesirable water ingress in plug connections or the combustion chamber,
Only clean freshwater (no river or seawater) must be used for spray-washing.
Check all plug connections and, if necessary, blow out with compressed air after cleaning to avoid misfiring
and other electrical issues.
Only products approved by Rolls-Royce Solutions GmbH in the specified concentrations can be used for clea‐
ning. The specified cleaning procedure is mandatory.
Important
Cleaning must be carried out with pressure washers at an operating pressure of ≤ 60 bar to avoid damaging
the cooler and the engine. High-pressure cleaners with an operating pressure > 60 bar are not permitted.
After washing, the equipment must be thoroughly rinsed with freshwater. The specifications in chapter
9.2 “Freshwater requirements for cleaning solutions and flushing water” apply (→ Page 211).
The technical data sheets and safety data sheets of the product must be observed!
Fluids and lubricants (e.g. treated engine coolant), used flushing water, cleaning agents, and cleaning soluti‐
ons can be hazardous materials. Certain regulations must be observed when handling, storing, and dispo‐
sing of these substances.
These regulations are contained in the manufacturer's instructions, statutory requirements, and technical
guidelines valid in the individual countries. Great differences can apply from country to country, and a gene‐
rally valid statement on applicable regulations is therefore not possible within these flushing and cleaning
specifications.
Users of the products named in these specifications are therefore obliged to inform themselves of the locally
applicable regulations. Rolls-Royce Solutions GmbH accepts no liability whatsoever for improper or illegal
use of the fluids and lubricants / cleaning agents which it has approved.
