New Oil For New Trucks

By Rudy Hiebert



The automotive perspective may not be as significant as the emissions from factories but it does not take rocket science to find evidence that vehicles of all types and sizes do contribute. Contributing stakeholders of the automotive source, ie. fuel and motor lubricants, have been major players for solution orientated products by providing new complying emission standards. As an Amsoil Inc. Independent Dealer, I can attest to the fact that synthetic lubricants in diesel and gasoline engines makes significant progress to provide solutions. Reduced sulfur content in diesel fuel is a standard in effect as I write this. Manufactures of new 2007 HD on-road diesel engines are required to use the API CJ-4 emissions compliant standard for engine oils. Increased EGR rates mean 2007 diesels engines run hotter than their predecessors, requiring diesel oils with improved oxidation resistance to prevent thermal runaway and maintain engine protection. Synthetic base stocks have significantly better thermal stability than conventional base stocks.


Truck fleet owners and owner-operators need to know that if they are not astute to the fact that the fuel, with reduced sulfur content they use in these 2007 engines, they run the risk of premature wear if they do not take steps by using the correct and applicable fuel additive. Needless to say, this opens the door to numerous product options from companies of ilrepute that are only interested in making a quick profit. If you put a gas pill into your fuel tank and something goes "south", your truck dealer's O.E.M. will find out what you used and you may be on your own.
