New API CK-4/FA-4 Diesel Engine Oil Spec

**roydok** · August 19th, 2017 02:37 PM

Available currently is the highest spec diesel engine oil API CK-4 which offers the best protection and performance. Anyone knows a particular brand of diesel engine oil which is sold here in the Philippines which meets this spec? Highest I found so far is API CJ-4 which is available in most fully synthetic diesel engine oils.

API | New API Certified CK-4 and FA-4 Diesel Engine Oils are Available Beginning December 1

I think for normal applications API CI/CJ is more than enough. Why do you want an API of CK?

Locally wala pa ako nakita but in the US I've come across shell rotella t6 with the CK.

I think tama si K.I.L.L. apart from the new rating it is much like API's rating for gasoline oil (sl, sm, sn) a lot if not majority of top shelf 100% synthetics for diesel surpass CJ rating yun nga lang naglabas ng baong rating kaya ayan. Changing to CK specs may not necessarily give you tangible advantages you might be seeking.

Also yun na metion ko na rotella t6 was previously rates CJ ata kaya ngayon bago na packaging uli. I assume to incorporate the "new" specs. If they changed the formulation I'm not privy to that.

royal dutch brand(shell umbrella) ang rotella. but its branding will collide with shell helix diesel and their rimula diesel oils.

My question is not about whether API CK-4 is enough or more than enough for my vehicle rather if it is available in the Phils. Thank you.
