1 General
In chapter 2 the system oil requirements and quality are mentioned for the high speed
engines (D234, D604, 604B, D620, D616, D816)

In chapter 3 the system oil requirements and quality are mentioned for the medium
speed engines (D628, D640, D645).

Lube oils not indicated but having the same capacity level as those mentioned in the
enclosure can be used upon agreement with the oil producer and – compulsory during
the warranty period – with the approval of Wärtsilä Netherlands B.V.

The indicated lube oil grades are minimum requirements. Higher quality levels can be
used.

The manufacturer is responsible for supplying lube oils of constant quality and with
those additives which were the basis for the release.

Upgrades and replacements of brands as mentioned in the enclosures are allowed to

be used without contact with Wärtsilä.

Suppliers and brands not mentioned in the enclosures can be used, after field trial,
upon agreement with oil producer and approval of Wärtsilä Netherlands B.V.

1.1 Test kit for lube oil & cooling water analysis
There is a Wärtsilä Deutz test kit available that allows quick determination of the lube
oil grade. This quick test permits a trend definition of the lube oil variation. The test kit,
with material number DZ12130382, is obtainable from the Wärtsilä Service Network.
The test kit is also suitable for cooling water analysis.

2.3 Lube oil change intervals

The oil should be changed only with the engine warmed up to service temperature; the
oil is then highly fluid and drains off much better.

The first lube oil change after initial commissioning or re-commissioning following major
repair work shall be effected after 50 running hours at the latest. Thereafter the
following lube oil change intervals shall be adhered to:

3.1 Quality
For the use in engines of series D628, D640 and D645, the enclosure comprises
reference lube oils. Here, the assignment depends on the fuel type of the engine.

For engines of series D628, we recommend the use of fuels with a sulphur content of
less than 0.2 % by weight to avoid the formation of glazing in the cylinder liners,
preferably the use of lube oils of quality class API CG-4 or API CH-4.

For mixed fuels with sulphur contents > 1.0%, we recommend for the first filling to use
an oil with a TBN of 40 mg/KOH/g, for sulphur contents ≤ 1.0%, a TBN of 30
mg/KOH/g.

To achieve the maximum possible economic operation, for refilling, an oil with lower or
higher TBN is permitted to be used. The lubricating oil supplier of mineral oil must be
involved in this measure, to give their recommendations on the basis of regular
analyses of the used oils. Moreover, the according limit values must be observed (see
Ch. 3.3.1).

According to our experience, when being refilled, the engine D645 rather needs an oil
with a TBN of 40 mg/KOH/g, the engines D628 and D645, however, rather an oil with a
TBN of 30 mg/KOH/g. See also Ch. 4

When using anti-corrosive oil (emergency genset), contact Wärtsilä Netherlands B.V.,
engine services.

3.2 Lube oil viscosity

Generally for these engines viscosity class SAE 40 is specified. All-temperature oils
SAE 10W-40 or 15W-40 can also be used, provided these oils are indicated in the list
of lube oils or are equivalent.

The D628 engines in operation, which were previously operated with a lube oil viscosity
of SAE 30 (previous version: oil cooler upstream of charge air cooler), may be operated
with SAE 40 or SAE 10W-40 or SAE 15W-40 as from now on.

Selection of the lube oil viscosity shall be based on SAE-classification J 300 9/87
(Society of Automotive Engineers). Selection of the SAE-class does not give any
indication of the oil grade.
 DATA & SPECIFICATIONS

DS00/99/01, Issue 2, Page 8 / 10

In view of particular requirements of D628 engines operating in the fishing industry

inland navigation and in excavator operation, and running on distillate fuels, the lube
oils mentioned in enclosure 3 are released for these applications.

3.3 Lube oil change intervals

The oil should be changed only with the engine on operating temperature; the oil is
then highly fluid and drains off much better.

In the case of these engines, a lube oil change always takes place after a previous
used oil analysis. Upon agreement with the mineral oil producer, the lube oil must be
partly replaced or exchanged, if one of the limit values is exceeded or fallen below. For
engines D628 operated with distillate fuel (entire oil volume in the oil pan), we generally
recommend a lube oil change after 5,000 running hours, irrespective of the result of the
used oil analysis.

If, upon operation with mixed fuel, the TBN-value should fall below the indicated
minimum value, refilling is possible with lube oil having a TBN-value of 40 mgKOH/g or
50 mgKOH/g (freshening up), see Ch.4.

3.3.2 Used lube oil analysis

The oil sample shall be representative of the entire oil filling and shall be taken in good
time before the oil change becomes due (see operation manual). It is best to start a
series of analyses during or shortly after commissioning so as to define a possible
variation of the lube oil depending on the duration of engine operation.

The oil analysis must be made for engines D628 and D640 at least every 500 operating
hours, for engines D645 at least every 1000 operating hours.

4 Change of lubricating oil brand

Top-up with another lubricating oil brand than being filled to the system is not allowed,
except if the both two lubricating oils originate from the same manufacturer. E.g. if
Company A’s BN 40 oil is filled into the oil system and top-up with same Company A’s
BN 50 oil is desired, that can be done provided that both products are based on same
base oils and additive technology. Otherwise the lubricating oil system has to be
drained and then filled with another brand by following the procedure described here
below.

In order to minimize the risk of lubricating oil foaming, deposit formation, blocking of
lubricating oil filters, damage of engine components, etc., the following procedure
should be followed when lubricating oil brand is changed from one to another:
 If possible, change the lubricating oil brand in connection with an engine (piston)
overhaul
 Drain old lubricating oil from the lubricating oil system
 Clean the lubricating oil system in case of an excessive amount of deposits on the
surfaces of engine components, like crankcase, camshaft compartment, etc.
 Fill the lubricating oil system with fresh lubricating oil.

If the procedure described above is not followed, responsibility of possible damage and
malfunctions caused by lubricating oil change should always be agreed between the
Oil Company and customer.
