Important — check compatibility
This is a heavy-duty diesel engine oil, and it is not suitable for every modern diesel engine.
In particular, it should not be used where the engine manufacturer specifies a low-SAPS lubricant or a lubricant specifically designed for engines fitted with particulate filters or other emissions after-treatment systems.
Always check the vehicle or equipment manufacturer's lubrication requirements before use.
