CA
For Light Duty Diesel Engine Service
Service typical of diesel engine operated in mild to moderate duty with highquality fuels and occasionally has included gasoline engines in mild service. Oils designed for this service provide protection from bearing corrosion and from ring belt deposits in some naturally aspirated diesel engines when using fuels of such quality that they impose no unusual requirements for wear and deposit protection. They were widely used in the late 1940's and 1950's but should not be used in any engine unless specifically recommended by the equipment manufacturer.
CB
For Moderate Duty Diesel Engine Service
Service typical of diesel engines operated in mild to moderate duty, but with lower-quality fuels which necessitate more protection for wear and deposits. Occasionally has included gasoline engines in mild service. Oils designed for this service provide necessary protection from bearing corrosion and from ring belt deposits in some naturally aspirated diesel engines with higher sulphur fuels. Oils designed for this service were introduced in 1949.
CC
For Moderate Duty Diesel and Gasoline Engine Service

CF CF-2 CF-4
For Indirect Injected Diesel Engine Service API Service Category CF denotes service typical of indirect injected diesel engines, and other diesel engines which use a broad range of fuel types including those using fuel with higher sulphur content, for example, over 0.5% wt. Effective control of piston deposits, wear and copper - containing bearing corrosion is essential for these engines which may be naturally aspirated, turbocharged or supercharged. Oils designated for this service have been in existence since 1994. Oils designated for this service may also be used when API service category CD is recommended.
For Two-Stroke Cycle Diesel Engine Service API Service category CF-2 denotes service typical of two-stroke cycle engines requiring highly effective control over cylinder and ring-face scuffing and deposits. Oils designated for this service have been in existence since 1994 and may also be used when API Service Category CD-II is recommended. These oils do not necessarily meet the requirements of CF or CF-4 unless passing test requirements for these categories.
For High Performance Diesel Engine Service This category was adopted in 1990 and describes oils for use in high speed, four-stroke diesel engines. API CF-4 oils exceed the requirements of the CE category, providing improved control of oil consumption and piston deposits.
Oils meeting the performance requirements in the following diesel and gasoline engine tests:
The T-6, T-7, NTC 400 and L-38 engines: See API CE Category above for explanation.
The 1K diesel engine test, which has been correlated with direct injection engines used in heavy-duty service prior to 1990, particularly with regard to piston and ring groove deposits. It has been demonstrated that the 1K test, in combination with test method D5968, the bench corrosion test, can be substituted for the NTC-400 test as an acceptable means to demonstrate performance against this category.
Test method D6483, the T-9 diesel engine test can be used as an alternate for the T-6 test and its limits.
Test method D5967, the F8A version, and its limits can be used as an alternate for the T-7 test and its limits.

CG-4 CH-4
For Severe Duty Diesel Engine Service
API Service Category CG-4 describes oils for use in high speed four stroke-cycle diesel engines used on both heavy-duty on-highway (less than 0.05% wt. sulphur fuel) and off highway (less than 0.5% wt. sulphur fuel) applications. CG-4 oils provide effective control over high temperature piston deposits, wear, corrosion, foaming, oxidation stability and soot accumulation. These oils are especially effective in engines designed to meet 1994 exhaust emission standards and may also be used in engines requiring API Service Categories CD, CE and CF-4. Oils designated for this service have been in existence since 1994.
For 1998 Severe Duty Diesel Engine Service
API Service Category CH-4 describes oils for use in high-speed, four-stroke diesel engines designed to meet 1998 exhaust emissions standards as well as for previous model years. CH-4 oils are specifically compounded for use with diesel fuels ranging in sulphur content up to 0.5 percent weight.
These oils are especially effective to sustain engine durability even under adverse applications that may stress wear control, high temperature stability, and soot handling properties. In addition, optimum protection is provided against non-ferrous corrosion, oxidative and insoluble thickening, foaming, and viscosity loss due to shear. These oils also have the performance capability to afford a more flexible approach to oil drain intervals in accordance with the recommendations of the individual engine builders for their specific engines.
CH-4 oils are superior in performance to those meeting API CF-4 and API CG-4 and can effectively lubricate engines calling for those API Service Categories.

Test Conditions Field Test
Inspection and Evaluation
04/02
Oils meeting VDS-2 are recommended for Volvo truck engines meeting the 1996 European emission requirements.
To meet the requirements of "Volvo Drain Specification-2" a field test as specified below is necessary. Upon completion of the test, various engine parts shall be inspected and evaluated.
Field test to involve a minimum of three trucks.
Test oil shall be minimum ACEA E3 or API CG-4 of viscosity 5W30, 5W40, 10W30, 10W40 or 15W40. Other viscosity grades can be accepted after agreement with Volvo.
Trucks used for the test to be equipped with Volvo TD 123 Series, 12 litre intercooled engine.
Field test to be run for minimum of 300,000 km. with 60,000 km. oil change intervals.
During the test, oil samples are taken after 15,000, 30,000, 45,000 and 60,000 km. of the change interval and checked with respect to:-
Viscosity at 100°C: (ASTM D445)
To be between 9 cSt. and 140% of the fresh oil value for XW-30 oils, and between 12 cSt. and 140% of the fresh oil value for XW-40 oils.
TBN (ASTM D4739):
Value must not be less than 50% of the fresh oil value, or below 4, whichever is the greater.
TAN (ASTM D664):
Report
Pentane Insolubles: Report
Wear Metals:
Concentration must not increase during the test.
Additive elements:
Report
In addition, oil and fuel consumption are measured during the test, oil consumption must not increase.
Upon completion of the field test, the following engine components are inspected:-
Pistons, Piston rings, Cylinder liners, Tappets, Camshaft, Rocker arms, Valves, Bearings. Cleanliness of covers and oil sump also inspected.
For oils qualified to VDS-2, "read-across" to other viscosity grades, VI improvers or base oils than those used in the field test can be accepted after agreement with Volvo.

Approvals: Preferred viscosity: SAE 15W-40 for Mack EO-L; 15W-40 or 5W-40 (formulated with high VI base oil) for Mack EO-L Plus. Base Oil Characterisation Analysis: Data to be presented. Read across requests are evaluated on an individual basis depending on additive package, VI Improver and base-stock properties. Approved lubricant supplier agrees to participate in the Mack EO-L Monitoring Program.
