In the August 15, 2016 issue of the OEM/Lube News, we stated that inline with the forthcoming API CK-4 diesel engine category, Cummins has established two new standards, Cummins Engineering Standard [CE0 20086, which is an updated version of CJ-4 (CES 20081), and is recommended for all engines using Ultra-Low Sulfur Diesel (ULSD) and CES 20087 for diesel engines designed for a lower viscosity oil and only intended for use in certain newer on-highway diesel engines .
Cummins has updated its CES 20086 list of API CK-4 registered oils, now totaling 57 oils compared to the list we showed last month of 46 oils. Its CES 20087 list of API FA-4 registered oils remains unchanged from our story last month.
CES 20086 oils can be used as the normal fill and top-off on older engines, and will have a higher oxidation capacity, to handle the increased heat load in todays hotter-running engines. It will be the oil of choice for most Cummins engines.
CES 20087 oils are for diesel engines designed for a lower viscosity oil and only intended for use in certain newer on-highway diesel engines.
