SECTION 2 – REQUIREMENTS FOR FUEL, ENGINE OIL, AND COOLANT
Engine Oil
ENGINE OIL QUALITY AND SERVICE CATEGORIES
The American Petroleum Institute (API) defines engine oil quality
by service categories that define oil performance measured in
standardized engine tests.
API CJ-4 FOR HIGH PERFORMANCE DIESEL ENGINES
Figure 9
API Identification symbol
API CJ-4 oils are recommended for high speed diesel engines
with advanced exhaust aftertreatment systems that meet 2007
and beyond on-highway exhaust emission standards.
NOTE:
Mineral and synthetic oils are acceptable for use
provided they meet the API category recommendations and
ambient temperature guidelines.
API CJ-4 oils provide protection against the following:
•
Catalyst poisoning and particulate blockage
•
Engine wear
•
Piston deposits
•
Soot related viscosity increase, deposits, and wear
•
Viscosity loss due to shear
•
Oxidative thickening
•
Oil foaming and aeration
API CJ-4 oil, in combination with Ultra Low Sulfur Diesel
(ULSD) fuel [0.0015% (15 ppm) maximum sulfur content],
is recommended to maintain performance and durability of
aftertreatment systems meeting 2007 and beyond diesel
emission regulations.
API CI-4 oils are allowed in diesel engines that meet these
regulations.
Use of the CI-4 engine oil shortens Diesel
Particulate Filter (DPF) cleaning service intervals.
