In May 1998, Cummins created an oil registration process to approve and list all engine oils to be used in Cummins engines. Since 1998, Cummins has become a global company, and the earlier process was specifically tailored for the North American market making it inadequate to handle oils that are manufactured around the world.
On June 1, 2014, Cummins announced its intention to temporarily stop oil registrations for CES20074, CES20075, CES20076, CES20077, CES20078 and CES20081.
To meet this global need, a new process was developed to ensure Cummins' customers around the world will be able to procure oils meeting Cummins Engineering Specifications. The new process requires oil companies to provide in depth data and an oil sample to be analyzed in order to prove that they meet Cummins Engineering Specifications. Once the data has been reviewed and compliance is validated, the oil company receives a registration agreement from Cummins that allows them to claim that they meet Cummins' specifications.
After restarting its Oil Registration process last year for CES20074, CES20075, CES20076, CES20077, CES20078 and CES20081. CES20085, Cummins last month issued its initial lists of registered motor oils meeting these Cummins Engineering Standards.
Cummins has since revised these lists, adding additional oils to the lists. The recently revised CES Registered Oils Lists issued by Cummins are as follows:

An extra part of this process now includes audits of products to assure that the quality is equal to the submitted samples used for registration. These samples are taken randomly by Cummins personnel and submitted to the laboratory in Columbus, IN. If they do not pass, discussions are arranged with the oil company to determine the cause and remedy. If these discussions do not produce a remedy, the oil loses its registration and is taken off the list of registered oils.
