Engine Lubricating Oil
Recommendations and
Specifications
PACCAR engine oil type, viscosity, and
additives.
A major factor in maintaining engine
performance and durability is the proper
use of quality engine lubricating oils used
in conjunction with the appropriate oil drain
and filter change intervals. Attempting to
extend the oil and filter change interval
beyond the manufacturers
recommendations may decrease engine
life due to factors such as corrosion,
deposits, and wear.
See Engine Lubrication and Filter Intervals
to determine which oil drain interval to use
for an application.
NOTE
It is the operator’s responsibility to fol-
low these recommendations to ensure
that the engine warranty is not affect-
ed.
The primary PACCAR recommendation is
for the use of SAE 10W-30 API CK-4 or
CJ-4 multigrade lubricating oil for normal
operation at ambient temperatures above
5°F (-15°C). For ambient temperatures
below 5°F (-15°C) SAE 5W-30 may be
used, provided it meets API CK-4 or CJ-4
oil specifications and biodiesel or biodiesel
blended fuel is not used as fuel for the
engine. Use of 0W-40 and 0W-30 synthetic
oils that meet API CK-4 or CJ-4
certification can be used in operations
where the ambient temperature never
exceeds 32°F (0°C). 0W-40 and 0W-30 oils
do not offer the same level of protection
against fuel dilution as do higher
multigrade oils. Higher cylinder wear can
be experienced when using 0W-40 or
0W-30 oils in highload situations. Using a
multigrade oil helps improve engine
cranking in low-temperature conditions,
reduces deposit formation and increases
engine durability. The use of a fuel
economy oil such as an API FA-4 oil is not
approved for this engine.
NOTE
If the type/oil capacity of each lubricat-
ing oil pan is not known:
• Contact a PACCAR® Authorized
Repair Location
• Determine the capacity of the oil
pan option for the engine being
serviced by using QuickServe™
Online and the engine serial num-
ber.
• Fill the lubricating oil pan to the
smallest oil pan capacity listed for
the engine being serviced. Then
add 1 US qt (0.95 liters) of oil at a
time until it reaches the high mark
on the dipstick. Record the num-
ber of quarts/liters added, so the
capacity is known the next time
the oil is drained.
