KUBOTA diesel engine

• Diesel Fuel Specification Type and Sulfur Content % (ppm) used, must be compliant with all applicable emission
regulations for the area in which the engine is operated.
• Use of diesel fuel with sulfur content less than 0.10 % (1000 ppm) is strongly recommended.
• If high-sulfur fuel (sulfur content 0.50% (5000 ppm) to 1% (10000 ppm)) is used as a diesel fuel, change the engine
oil and oil filter at shorter intervals (approximately half).
• DO NOT USE Fuels that have sulfur content greater than 1.0 % (10000 ppm).
• Since KUBOTA diesel engines of less than 56 kW (75 hp) utilize EPA Tier 4 and Interim Tier 4 standards, the use
of ultra low sulfur fuel is mandatory for these engines, when operated in US EPA regulated areas. Therefore,
please use No.2-D S15 diesel fuel as an alternative to No.2-D, and use No.1-D S15 diesel fuel as an alternative
to No.1-D for ambient temperatures below -10°C (14°F). No.1-Dor No.2-D, S15 : Ultra Low Sulfur Diesel 15 ppm
or 0.0015 wt.%.
• CJ-4 classification oil is intended for use in engines equipped with Diesel Particulate Filter and is Not Recommended
for use in Kubota E3 specification engines.
• Oil used in the engine should have API classification and Proper SAE Engine Oil according to the ambient
temperatures as shown below.
