General Information
Cummins Engine Company, Inc. recommends the use of a
high-quality SAE 15W-40 heavy-duty engine oil (such as
Cummins Premium Blue ) which meets the American Pe-
troleum Institute (API) performance classification CE/SG.
NOTE: CC/CD or CD/SF engine oils can be used in areas
where CE oil is not yet available, but the lubricating oil
change interval must be reduced to one-half the interval
given in the maintenance schedule.
CAUTION
Limited use of lubricating oils, such as 10W-30, can aid
in starting the engine and providing sufficient lubricat-
ing oil flow at ambient temperatures below -5C [23F].
However, the continuous use of low-viscosity lubricat-
ing oils can decrease engine life. Refer to the accom-
panying chart.
