API, SAE ASTM Classification
SG/CD, SF/CC
Do not use SD or SC API classification oils. These oils do not
provide adequate protection against oil oxidation, high
temperature oil deposits, rust and corrosion.
DIESEL FUEL
The Cummins Diesel Engine operates most efficiently with
ultra low sulfur No. 2 diesel fuel in temperatures above 0°C
(32°F). When operating in temperatures below 0°C (32°F),
use No. 1 diesel fuel, or a blend of No. 1 and No. 2 diesel
fuels, most commonly known as “Winterized” No. 2 diesel.
Use ASTM No. 2 diesel fuel with a minimum Cetane number
of 40. No. 2 diesel fuel gives the best economy and
performance under most operating conditions. Fuels with
Cetane numbers higher than 40 may be needed in high
altitudes or extremely low ambient temperatures to prevent
misfires and excessive smoke.
