General Information
The use of quality engine lubricating oils and appropriate oil drain and filter change intervals are
critical factors in maintaining engine performance and durability.

Cummins Inc. recommends the use of engine oil that meets the requirements of Cummins
Engineering Standards CES 20086 American Petroleum Institute (API CK-4) only in engines with
ultra low sulphur diesel (less than 15 ppm). CES 20081 (API CJ-4) may also be used when
operating with ultra low sulphur diesel but may require reduced oil drains. When using greater
than 15 ppm sulphur fuel, oils meeting CES 20078 (API CI-4), are recommended. CES 20076 or
CES 20077 (API CH-4) are also suitable with fuels greater than 15 ppm sulphur. Refer to Fluids
for Cummins® Products Service Manual, 5411406 (/qs3/pubsys2/xml/en/bulletin/5411406.html).
Refer to Procedure 378-003 Section 4. (/qs3/pubsys2/xml/en/procedures/00/00-378-003.html)

The oil suppliers are responsible for the quality and performance of their product.

New Engine Break-in Oils


Special break-in engine lubricating oils are not recommended for new or rebuilt Cummins®
engines. Use the same type of oil during the break-in as is used in normal operation.

Synthetic or partially synthetic engine oils, however, can not be used in a new or rebuilt engine
during break-in. Use a standard petroleum-based oil for the first drain interval.
Additional information regarding lubricating oil availability throughout the world is available in the
Engine Manufacturers Association Lubricating Oils Data Book for Heavy-Duty Automotive and
Industrial Engines. The data book can be ordered from the address below:

Cummins Inc. recommends the use of oil based on the most recent API performance categories.
For details on lubricating oils for Cummins® engines, contact a Cummins® Authorized Repair
Location or refer to the Cummins® Engine Oil and Oil Analysis Recommendations, Bulletin
3810340 (/qs3/pubsys2/xml/en/bulletin/3810340.html).

Viscosity Recommendations
The viscosity of an oil is a measure of its resistance to flow.
The SAE has classified engine oils into viscosity grades. Oils
that meet the low temperature (-18°C [0°F]) requirement carry
a grade designation with a W suffix. Oils that meet both the low
and high temperature requirements are referred to as
multigrade or multiviscosity grade oils.
Cummins Inc. has found that the use of multigrade lubricating
oil improves oil consumption control and engine cranking in
cold conditions while maintaining lubrication at high operating
temperatures and can contribute to improved fuel
consumption.

 CAUTION 
When single-grade oil is used, make sure the oil will be
operating within the temperature ranges, as shown.

Cummins Inc. recommends the use of 15W-40 multigrade


lubricating oils normal conditions. For low ambient
temperatures, the diagram on the right shows the preferred oil
grades. Reference the Fluids Manual, Bulletin Number
5411406 (/qs3/pubsys2/xml/en/bulletin/5411406.html), for
complete list of recommended Society of Automotive
Engineers (SAE) oil viscosity grades.

Single-grade oils can be substituted for short durations until


the recommended multigrade is procured. Arctic condition oils
are available commercially with better low temperature
properties. Consult your supplier.
The primary criterion for selecting an oil viscosity grade is the
lowest temperature the oil will experience while in the engine
oil sump. Bearing problems can be caused by the lack of
lubrication during the cranking and start up of a cold engine
when the oil being used is too viscous to flow properly. Change
to a lower viscosity grade of oil as the temperature of the oil in
the engine oil sump reaches the lower end of the ranges
shown in the illustration.

As the engine oil becomes contaminated, essential oil


additives are depleted. Lubricating oils protect the engine as
long as these additives are functioning properly. Progressive
contamination of the oil between oil and filter change intervals
is normal. The amount of contamination will vary depending on
the operation of the engine, hours or miles on the oil, fuel
consumed, and new oil added.

Arctic Operation
 CAUTION 
The use of a synthetic base oil does not justify extended oil change intervals. Extended
oil change intervals can cause engine damage.

If an engine is operated in ambient temperatures consistently below -23°C [-10°F] and there are
no provisions to keep the engine warm when it is not in operation, use a 0W-40 synthetic engine
oil with adequate low temperature properties.
The oil supplier must be responsible for meeting the performance service specifications.

Reference Procedure 102-002 (Maintenance Schedule - Oil Drain Intervals) in Section 2 for the
use of the Chart Method to allow extended oil change intervals or the Operation of Diesel
Engines in Cold Climates, Bulletin 3379009. (/qs3/pubsys2/xml/en/bulletin/3379009.html)
