Aztecs EMPROTEC EHPD 15W-40 Diesel Engine Oil
The EMPROTEC EHPD 15W-40 is a premium mid-ash heavy-duty diesel engine oil engineered to meet the lubrication demands of modern commercial engines - especially those fitted with sensitive emission-control systems.
Built with high-quality base oils and advanced additive technology (including the brand’s Adaptive Molecular technology), it delivers reliable performance, emission compliance and durability in mixed-fleet, on-and off-highway applications.
Recommended Applications
- Ideal for heavy-duty diesel engines in trucks, buses, coaches agricultural machines and off-highway equipment operating under demanding conditions.
- Suited for fleets requiring an oil compliant with the latest emissions standards (EURO V/VI / Tier 4i/ 4f / stage 4) and compatible with after-treatment devices.
- Compatible with mixed-fleet operations (modern and legacy engines) where a robust 15W-40 grade oil is specified or acceptable.
- Meets a broad range of specifications: ACEA E7/E11, API SN/CK-4, Caterpillar ECF-3, Cummins CES 20086/20081, DAF E9, Mercedes-Benz MB 228.31, MAN M 3775, Renault Trucks RLD-3, Volvo VDS-4.5, IVECO TLS E9 and others.
Key Benefits
- Enhanced Oxidation & Aeration Resistance: Guards against oil breakdown and foaming under heavy duty, high-temperature service.
- Optimised Wear & Corrosion Protection: Helps protect vital engine components (cams, bearings, liners) for longer engine life and reduce downtime.
- Excellent Soot-Dispersant and Deposit-Control Capability: Keep pistons, rings and turbochargers cleaner, enhancing engine efficiency and longevity.
- Emission-System Compatible: Mid-ash design supports engines with or without after-treatment (DPF, SCR), making it versatile across fleet types.
- Reliable mixed-fleet solution: Suits both older and newer engines, reducing the need for multiple oil grades in fleet operations.

Delivery Terms
The delivery of a tank can be confusing as each manufacturer offers a slightly different service and lead time. Please refer to our Delivery Information page. Standard tank deliveries are "kerbside", which means the tank will be delivered to the kerb only and not positioned further. Should you have specific delivery requirements or restrictions, please contact us to discuss.
Tanks over 2,500L — articulated lorry, customer offload
These tanks are delivered on an articulated vehicle (approximately 16.5m long × 2.6m wide × 3m high) which has no offloading on board. It is the customer's responsibility to offload the tank, which may require a telehandler or forklift.
Curtain-sided vehicles are also used, so please note that if there are obstacles or overhanging branches on the road to the delivery site, the driver may refuse to drive to the location due to the risk of damaging the vehicle. Please let us know about any obstructions before delivery so we can arrange alternative transport.
18-tonne tail-lift HGV
This vehicle is roughly the size of the largest bin lorries — approximately 8.2m long × 2.6m wide × 4m high, and often curtain-sided. If there are overhanging branches, these vehicles will not attempt the route, so a smaller vehicle should be requested.
Tanks are lowered to the ground but not positioned, as this is a kerbside delivery. If a smaller vehicle is required, email sales@fueltankshop.co.uk quoting your order number and name.
HIAB delivery
HIAB delivery is available but must be requested, and carries an additional cost. Email sales@fueltankshop.co.uk quoting your order number and name, and we'll come back to you with a price.
Accessories
Most accessories are delivered within 1–3 working days. Certain products and postcodes may take longer — check the product page for current information. If you need them sooner we can sometimes offer a next-day service; please contact us to discuss. If an item is out of stock we'll advise the expected lead time, and you're free to cancel for a full refund.
Returns Information
Customers may return items within 14 calendar days, as set out in section 7 of our Terms & Conditions.
All items must be returned unused. Refunds cannot be issued for used or previously installed items.
Please be aware that returning a tank can be complicated and expensive, so do check you're ordering the correct item — we strongly suggest checking the dimensions carefully before you buy.
How to return an item
- Complete the form on our returns page with details of your order.
- Once your request is approved, we'll issue a Returns Authorisation Number (RAN) along with instructions on how and where to return your order, and any costs involved.
