Heavy-Duty Diesel Engine Oils (HDEO‘s) and Commercial Vehicle Lubricants (CVL) also sometimes called Heavy-Duty Motor Oil –(HDMO) represent the group of lubricants designed especially for trucks, commercial vehicles including buses and agricultural and heavy-industry machinery, such as that used in mining. Lubrita DEO (Diesel Engine Oils) are formulated to meet and exceed the performance requirements of many of today’s off-highway engines. It provides superior soot handling and acid neutralization capabilities, making it suitable for modern diesel engines. Lubrita DEO offers the perfect performance and protection for your equipment. Lubricating the interior of a heavy-duty engine properly requires more than just the creation of a protective oil film, as this is very important to reduce operating and maintenance costs. Lubrita heavy-duty diesel engine oils deliver fuel savings, offer protection for longer equipment life, improved efficiency through synthetic oil technology, and extended ODI (oil drain intervals). Lubrita lubricants protect driveline components against wear, acids and deposits. Heavy-Duty Engine Oils are developed for especially high performance to disperse soot and control sludge to extend your engine's life. The range of Heavy-Duty Engine Oils offered by Lubrita DEO lets you choose the oil that is best suited for your machinery, reducing maintenance costs and engine wear and prolonging service life.

2. The API Certification Mark,
also known as the “Starburst”
An oil displaying this mark meets the current engine protection standard
and fuel economy requirements of the International Lubricant Specification
Advisory Committee (ILSAC),a joint effort of U.S.and Japanese automobile
manufacturers.Automobile manufacturers recommend oils that carry
the API Certification Mark. See the ILSAC STANDARD FOR PASSENGER
CAR ENGINE OILS chart on the next page for descriptions of current and
obsolete ILSAC standards.

The API Service Symbol, also
known as the “Donut”
1. Performance Level
Motor oils designed for cars, vans, and light trucks with gasoline engines
fall under API’s “S” (Service) categories. Motor oils designed for heavy-
duty trucks and vehicles with diesel engines fall under API’s “C”
(Commercial) categories. Please see the Gasoline Engines and Diesel
Engines charts on the next pages for descriptions of current and
obsolete API service categories.
2. Viscosity Grade
The measure of an oil’s ability to flow at certain temperatures.
Vehicle requirements may vary. Follow your vehicle manufacturer’s
recommendations on SAE oil viscosity.
3. Resource Conserving and Energy Conserving
These designations apply to oils intended for gasoline-engine cars, vans,
and light trucks.Widespread use of “Resource Conserving” or “Energy
Conserving” oils may result in an overall savings of fuel in the vehicle
fleet as a whole.
4. Multiple Performance Levels
Oils designed for diesel engine service might also meet gasoline engine
service. For these oils the designation is “C” category first followed by
the “S” category.“C” category oils have been formulated primarily for
diesel engines and may not provide all of the performance requirements
consistent with vehicle manufacturers’ recommendations for gasoline-
fueled engines.
5. The API Service Symbol with CI-4 Plus
The “CI-4 PLUS” designation identifies oils formulated to provide a higher
level of protection against soot-related viscosity increase and viscosity
loss due to shear in diesel engines.When originally introduced, CI-4
PLUS identified CI-4 oils meeting a higher level of performance. CJ-4 oils
include all CI-4 PLUS performance requirements. CI-4 PLUS appears in
the lower portion of the API Service Symbol “Donut.”
