Sulfur or High Sulfur Fuels).
EGR: Exhaust Gas Re-circulation
Fuel type
Engine oil classification (API classification)
Engines with non-EGR
Engines with internal EGR
Engines with external EGR
High Sulfur Fuel
[0.05 % (500 ppm)
Sulfur Content <
0.50 % (5000 ppm)]
CF
(If the "CF-4, CG-4, CH-4 or CI-4" engine oil is used
with a high-sulfur fuel, change the engine oil at
shorter intervals. (approximately half))
---
Low Sulfur Fuel
[Sulfur Content <
0.05 % (500 ppm)] or
Ultra Low Sulfur Fuel
[Sulfur Content <
0.0015 % (15 ppm)]
CF, CF-4, CG-4, CH-4 or CI-4
CF or CI-4
(Class CF-4, CG-4 and CH-4 engine, oils
cannot be used on EGR type engines.)
