Two new API diesel specifications by the industry prompted AMSOIL to introduce some new formulations to the market.
The new API diesel oil specifications focuses on these five objectives:
Reduced emissions
Improved fuel economy
Stronger oxidation stability
Better shear stability
Increased resistance to aeration
The new API CK-4 specification is designed for current model-year and older diesel engines and is backward-compatible with the older API CJ-4 (and prior) oils.
The new API FA-4 specification is designed to further improve fuel economy and reduce emissions. However API FA-4 oils is not backward-compatible and should only be used in certain 2017 and newer over-the-road trucks. When they become officially approved by the original equipment manufacturer (OEM).
