Product Identity
VALVOLINE VV400 is a heavy-duty diesel motor oil formulated for diesel trucks and engines. The conventional base stock carries an SAE 40 viscosity grade and meets API standards. It is sold new in a five-gallon pail for commercial and fleet maintenance.
Installation Notes
The oil pours directly from the pail into the engine crankcase using standard filling equipment. Its pour point of -5.8 degrees F allows flow in cold conditions, though extreme low temperatures may slow dispensing. No special tools or priming procedures are required beyond normal oil-change practice.
Sustained Load Behaviour
Under continuous operation the oil maintains film strength up to a maximum operating temperature of 220 degrees F. The flash point of 390 degrees F provides a high safety margin during prolonged high-load running. Detergent additives help control deposits and sludge formation over extended drain intervals.
