Perkins require the use of the following specifica-
tion of engine oil. Failure to use the appropriate
specification of engine oil will reduce the life of
your engine. Failure to use the appropriate speci-
fication of engine oil will also reduce the life of
your aftertreatment system.
Tableau 13
Oil Specification
API CK-4
ACEA E9
ECF-3
API CK-4 and ACEA E9 oil categories have the
following chemical limits:
• 0.1 percent maximum sulfated ash
• 0.12 percent maximum phosphorous
• 0. 4 percent maximum sulfur
The chemical limits were developed to maintain the
expected life of the engine aftertreatment system.
The performance of the engine aftertreatment system
can be adversely affected if oil that is not specified in
table 13 is used.
The life of your Aftertreatment system is defined by
the accumulation of ash on the surface of the filter.
Ash is the inert part of the particulate matter. The
system is designed to collect this particulate matter.
There is a small percentage of particulate matter that
is left behind as the soot is burnt. This matter will
eventually block the filter, causing loss of
performance and increased fuel consumption. Most
of the ash comes from the engine oil which is
gradually consumed during normal operation. This
ash is passes through the exhaust. To meet the
designed life of the product, the use of the
appropriate engine oil is essential. The oil
specification that is listed in table 13 has low ash
content.
Maintenance intervals for engines that use
biodiesel – The oil change interval can be adversely
affected by the use of biodiesel. Use oil analysis to
monitor the condition of the engine oil. Use oil
analysis also to determine the oil change interval that
is optimum.
Nota: API FA-4 oil is designed for use in selected
on-highway applications and is NOT designed to
support off-road applications, including Perkins
Engines. DO NOT use API FA-4 oil for Perkins
engines. These engine oils are not approved by
Perkins and these engine oils must not be used:
CC, CD, CD-2, CF-4, CG-4, CH-4, and CI-4.
Lubricant Viscosity Recommendations
for Direct Injection (DI) Diesel Engines
The correct SAE viscosity grade of oil is determined
by the minimum ambient temperature during cold
engine start-up, and the maximum ambient
temperature during engine operation.
Refer to illustration 57 (minimum temperature) to
determine the required oil viscosity for starting a cold
engine.
Refer to illustration 57 (maximum temperature) to
select the oil viscosity for engine operation at the
highest ambient temperature that is anticipated.
Generally, use the highest oil viscosity that is
available to meet the requirement for the temperature
at start-up.
Illustration 57
Lubricant Viscosities
Supplemental heat is recommended for cold soaked
starts below the minimum ambient temperature.
Supplemental heat may be required for cold soaked
starts that are above the minimum temperature that
is stated, depending on the parasitic load and other
factors. Cold soaked starts occur when the engine
has not been operated for a period of time. This
interval will allow the oil to become more viscous due
to cooler ambient temperatures.
