Heavy-Duty Diesel Engine Oils

Commercial and Industrial requirements for heavy-duty engine oils continue to stress higher levels of turbocharging, higher operating temperatures, and power outputs, and demand the use of ultra low sulfur diesel fuel for highway fleet operations. U.S. EPA regulations require heavy-duty diesel engine manufacturers to reduce NOx emissions via modification of their engine and emissions system designs. Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) for example has resulted in a considerable increase in the soot loading of engine oils. 2007 EPA compliant low emission engines have adopted advanced exhaust after-treatment devices such as Diesel Particulate Filters (DPF) with or without Diesel Oxidation Catalysts (DOC), and increased rates of EGR. In addition to these technologies, the 2010 EPA compliant low emissions engines now include emissions systems using Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR). These regulations resulted in an improvement in quality and performance of diesel engine oils using high performance base oils and additives to create superior products that increase equipment reliability and reduce downtime.

DURON™ ENGINE OILS

The DURON line of premium quality, Heavy-Duty Diesel Engine Oils are designed to improve engine reliability and reduce operating costs through its better engine protection, fuel economy potential and extended drain capabilities. The DURON product line (API CK-4 and FA-4) is formulated to meet the challenges of current low emission engines including the latest EPA standards. DURON multigrades exceed API CK-4 standards required in many on-road and off-road engines and is fully back serviceable to the API CJ-4, CI-4 Plus, CI-4, and CH-4 as required by pre-’07 diesel engines (CJ-4, CI-4, etc), while the monogrades are suitable where former API categories CF or CF-2 are recommended.

DURON Heavy-Duty Diesel Engine Oils may be used in engines fueled by diesel, gasoline, and propane, and in some natural gas (CNG) applications. This allows the selection of one engine oil for a mixed-fuel fleet, which meets most manufacturers’ warranty requirements.

DURON Heavy-Duty Diesel Engine Oils are suitable for use in engines powered by both ultra low and low sulfur diesel. DURON is formulated to the highest API diesel and gasoline performance standards for 4-stroke engine oils and is suitable for use in extended oil drain service.

DURON™ multigrade engine oils are premium heavy-duty diesel engine oils that exceed the requirements of API CK-4 and are back serviceable to the API CJ-4, CI-4 Plus, CI-4, and CH-4 as required by pre-’07 diesel engines (API CJ-4, CI-4, etc…). They are suitable for use in current EPA compliant low emission engines which employ advanced exhaust aftertreatment devices such as Diesel Particulate Filters (DPF), Diesel Oxidation Catalysts (DOC), Selective Catalytic Reductions (SCR) and increased rates of Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR).

DURON™ is available in multiple performance offerings as shown below. These engine oils have undergone rigorous engine testing and have demonstrated extended drain capabilities in severe service field trials in both new and older engine designs. DURON™ is formulated to meet the latest OEM specifications for current low emission engines equipped with advanced exhaust aftertreatment devices.

DURON™ ADVANCED premium performance synthetic and synthetic blend diesel engine oils deliver industry leading durability against wear in technologically advanced engines and are formulated to exceed API FA-4 requirements. They are suitable for use in 2017 and future engines which specify the use of an API FA-4 oil.

DURON™ ADVANCED (and all API FA-4 oils) have limited backwards compatibility with older engines as these oils are specifically engineered for newer engines designed to meet legislation around emissions and fuel economy. They are characterized by having a lower high temperature high shear (HTHS) viscosity, meaning they cause less friction and viscous drag in the engine and enable reduced fuel consumption, while still offering increased levels of wear protection. DURON™ ADVANCED provides additional fuel savings over CK-4 of the same grade, up to 1%*.
