Engine Oil Requirements
1. Lubricating Oil
With the emission control now in effect, the CF-4 and
CG-4 lubricating oils have been developed for use of a
low sulfur fuel for on-road vehicle engines. When an
off-road vehicle engine runs on a high-sulfur fuel, it is
advisable to employ the CF, CD or CE lubricating oil
with a high total base number. If the CF-4 or CG-4
lubricating oil is used with a high-sulfur fuel, change the
lubricating oil at shorter intervals.
API service classification: above CD grade.
Ambient temperature: below 35°C (95°F).
Lubricating oil recommended when a low-sulfur or high-
sulfur fuel is employed.
