API CF-4/SG |
Dear Customer,
There are so many engine oils that it is very difficult to
make a choice. So here are a few reasons to believe why Valvoline
Cummins has the very best CF-4/SH oil to offer.
Q1
: Do you know which engine oil does Cummins India use for
the initial fill?
Ans : Valvoline Power Supreme 15W-40 engine oil, a
premium product of Valvoline Cummins Ltd. Is Filled by the
OEMs before the engines are despatched. This oil conforms
to API CF-4/SH classification to achieve optimum performance
from the Cummins engines.
Q2 : Do you know when Valvoline Cummins Ltd. Was born
in India?
Ans : During the mid 90s many oil companies were
coming into India. Cummins was keen to develop the most suitable
oil for Cummins engines. As far as Cummins was concerned,
Valvoline was the right choice as a consequence of the worldwide
association of these two giants. In India, Cummins India Ltd.
Provided the engine expertise and Valvoline, the oil expertise
which lead to the formulation of Valvoline Power Supreme,
a 15W-40 API CF-4/SH Engine Oil. Valvoline Power Select, a
20W-40 API CD plus Mack T7 Engine Oil is also present in the
range.
The
Indian joint venture took shape during early 1998. It was
the time when Cummins thirst for a truly world class lubricant
was quenched. An exclusive pack design for Cummins range only,
was developed. This wavy design has a crimson red label for
the Supreme grade and a blur label for the select grade. In
January, 1999, Cummins India Ltd. Has recommended the use
of API CF-4/SH SAE 15W-40 Multi-grade lubricating oil for
all Cummins Diesel engines.
Q3 : Why CF-4/SH Oils are better than the CD Oils?
Ans : First introduced in 1990, API CF-4/SH was the
consequence of continual upgradation of engine performance
for improved engine life. The major differential parameters
between API CD and API CF-4/SH oil are as given below:
|
API

|
1.
This oil is ideally suited
for the older engines.
2. The Optimum performance level of one
API CD oil varies widely from another.
3. This oil helps to maintain a moderate piston
deposit threshold temperature.
|
1.
This oil has been evolved mainly
For the modern day engines.
2. Having a stricter standard, the Performance
variation is minimum. This oil provides improved control
on piston deposits and oil
Consumption, therefore, giving higher performance rating.
3. Piston deposit threshold temperature is 60 C
more than the CD level oil.
4. The Design and additive pacakage
formulation has greater dispersing
capabilities by keeping the soot
dispersed more evenly. This
amount to avoiding plugging of
oil filters, improved oil change
interval and decrease in ring and
linear wear, resulting in increased
overhaul life. |
Q4.:
But how is Valvoline Power Supreme the best choice for Cummins
Engine?
Ans : Valvoline Power Supreme CF-4/SH oil gives you
certain advantages which makes
it stand apart from the rest:
·
Reduced wear and Tear.
· Better high temperature oxidation
stability
· Optimum lube consumption
· Lesser crown land deposits
on piston and valves
· Better emission control
· Better cleanliness of internal
passage and components
· Less sludge formation due to
improved dispersancy
· Increased control on acid formation
avoids corrosion of bearings and other
Components.
Thus
Valvoline Power Supreme helps to optimize engine performance
by selecting additive package that holds the soot particles
in suspension and keeps them from interfering with the lubricating
system.
Last but not the least it also meets European OEM specification
i.e., MB228.L, Volve VDS, MAN 27l, MTU Type 1 etc.
Q5.
Valvoline ! How much does it know your needs?
Ans : Valvoline knows and provides for all your needs
-
Way back in 1866 it was the first oil company to recommend
the right oil to
lubricate the valves of steam engines. A solid 133 years of
experience has enabled
them to develop Valvoline Power Supreme oil with unique Dispersion
Polymer
Technology (DPT) to minimize the adverse effect of soot on
modern engine
ensuring longer life.
Q6 : What technology do Valvoline and Cummins share
in product development ?
Ans : Worldwide, Valvoline and Cummins have got together
and produced Valvoline
Premium Blue, a unique oil, which meets not only the API CH4
standard for 1998,
but also Cummins CES 20076 performance requirements for 1999.
This
association shares technology to bring out a whole new level
in engine lubrication
performance with engines, filters and oil designed to work
as a total system for
extended service and increased protection.
In India, Valvoline and Cummins have teamed up to bring out
Valvoline Power
Supreme SAE 15W-40 Engine oil with API CF-4/SH classification
as most
preferred oil for Cummins engines.
Q.7 : Have you experienced the unique Valvoline POST
services ?
Ans : Valvoline POST (The Progressive Oil Sample Testing)
is a unique service with the help of which optimum drain interval
can be determined for your engines. POST is designed to analyze
the quality of engine oil at progressive intervals. Thus,
based on the critical parameters of engine operations and
running conditions, tailor made recommendations are created
concerning proper lubricating and maintenance interval. Under
the POST program, the following services are given:
· Regular sample taken for analysing
in laboratory
· Prompt reporting on oil condition
and its suitability for further use.
· Assessment of engine oil condition
to identify abnormal wear phenomena, if any
· Prevent premature engine failure
by timely identifying the problem area.
Through POST, Valvoline is with you for solving the problem
before it happens! And all this service extended at a nominal
charge.
Q.8 : What you can expect from POST ?
Ans : Valvoline team shows you the advantage of POST
program and help you to keep
more engine more on the job and out of shop.
Valvoline POST program is a productive and proventive maintenance
program,
which will help you to achieve the following:
· Decrease down time - by detecting
contaminant such as water, fuel dilution,
wear metals, silica etc.,that can cause unscheduled down time
and costly
repairs.
· Extend component life - by
monitoring individual component wear and tear
you schedule you maintenance rather than your maintenance
scheduling you.
· Optimize oil drain interval
- by carefully monitoring the oil quality and its
condition, while applying this information to each engines
operating condition
and service interval.
Q9 : What is service support edge of Valvoline Cummins
Limited ?
Ans : Valvoline has widespread network in over 100
countries all over the world ranging
from construction sites to mine bottoms to railroads across
the country right to the
local shop floor. In India, Valvoline has 40 C&F locations
servicing the 90
