Bulk Amsoil Signature Series
Synthetic Diesel Oils API CK-4
AMSOIL Synthetic Diesel oil’s API CK-4 5w-30 0w-40 5w-40 15w-40 in Bulk 55 drums
totes
Amsoil signature series diesel oils in bulk 55 drums and totes have changed in 2017 and AMSOIL
synthetic diesel oil’s 5w-30, 0w-40, 5w-40, 15w-40 that exceed API CK-4 and API FA-4 specs have been
developed and extensively tested under extreme conditions. With the API introducing two new diesel oil
specifications API CK-4 and API FA-4 oil needed to be changed. These 5w-30 0w-40 5w-40 15w-40 CK-4 oil’s
will be replacing the CJ-4 specification and this has led to some confusion. In most cases, you will require an
oil that meets the new API CK-4 specification. CK-4 is backward compatible with the previous diesel
specifications. That means if you are using an oil recommended for API CJ-4, you can simply transition to the
corresponding upgraded AMSOIL synthetic diesel oil, which will be available Feb 6 2017.
Here is Information about the two new AMSOIL diesel oil lines CK-4.
We’ve made the transition as simple as possible: New AMSOIL Signature Series Max-Duty
Synthetic Diesel Oil replaces AMSOIL Premium Synthetic Diesel Oil 5w-40 and 15w-40 [DEO,DME]. And the new
AMSOIL Heavy-Duty Synthetic Diesel Oil replaces AMSOIL OE Synthetic Diesel Oil 10w-30 and 15w-40 [OED,OEC]
with the addition of a 5w-40 weight.
What benefits do the new formulations provide?
The new diesel oils deliver better wear protection and phenomenal durability compared to
industry requirements. Not only are you getting an oil that performs better, pricing remains unchanged.
What should you know about the API FA-4 specification?
API FA-4 was introduced to further improve fuel economy and reduce emissions. As such,
oils recommended or the FA-4 specification must meet more strict fuel-economy requirements than oils recommended
for CK-4.
There won’t be high demand for FA-4 oils since they’re not backward compatible with API CJ-4 and may only be used
in certain 2017 and newer over the- road trucks, when approved by the original equipment manufacturer (OEM).
Initially there will be very few applications in which FA-4 oils may be used. It’s also important to know that
using FA-4 oils is optional. Each model-year 2017 and newer application will be different. Some OEMs may require
using an oil recommended for either API CK-4 or FA-4 – it is up to the customer to decide which to use. If they
desire maximum fuel economy, then they might favor FA-4. But, like I said, demand is expected to be low.
Ford* recently announced that it will not recommend API CK-4 or FA-4 oils in its
applications, saying it will only recommend diesel oils that meet the Ford WSS-M2C171-F1 specification or oils
formulated specifically for the previous API CJ-4 specification. Why?
We’re unsure which CK-4 or FA-4 diesel oils Ford tested, but a company representative said the products led to
increased wear in its 6.7L Power Stroke* engine. The new AMSOIL Signature Series Max- Duty Synthetic Diesel Oil and
Heavy- Duty Synthetic Diesel Oil formulations contain boosted levels of wear protection beyond Ford’s requirements.
With the exception of Signature Series 5W-30, the new diesel oils will carry the Ford WSSM2C171- F1 specification.
Signature Series 5W-30 will also be tested and evaluated for the specification once Ford finalizes its 6.7L Power
Stroke engine test. We are certain it will pass the test, and the Ford WSS-M2C171-F1 specification will be added to
Signature Series 5W-30 in early 2017. You and your customers can be well-assured that all Ford Power Stroke
engines, no matter the model year, are well-protected when using AMSOIL synthetic diesel oils.
