LUBRICATIONDT/DTI-466C DIESEL ENGINESUse oils meeting API categories CD, SC/CD, SE/CD, orSF/CD, or Military Specifications MIL-L-2104D or MILL-2104C. IH No. 1 Enqine Oil meets these requirements.OIL VISCOSITYOil viscosity (thickness) is described by SAE (Society ofAutomotive Engineers) Viscosity Grade. Coldertemperatures require lower viscosity oils to ensure goodflow during starting, while hotter temperatures requirehigher viscosity oils for satisfactory lubrication. Basedupon the temperature range you expect before your nextoil change, use oil viscosity chart and the notes below tochoose the proper viscosity grade. Using other viscositygrades, or using viscosity grades at temperaturesoutside the recommended ranges could result in enginedamage.NOTES:1.SAE 15W-40 IS THE PREFERRED VISCOSITYGRADE FOR 6.9L DIESEL ENGINES FOR ALLOPERATING CONDITIONS WHERE THETEMPERATURE WILL NOT BE COLDERTHAN - 1C (+ 30°F).2.SOME INCREASE IN OIL CONSUMPTIONMAY BE EX- PECTED WHEN SAE OW-30, 5W-20, 5W-30, 10W, 10W-30 AND 1 W-40 OILSARE USED. CHECK OIL LEVELS MOREFREOUENTLY.3.SAE 5W-20 OILS ARE NOT RECOMMENDEDFOR CONTINUOUS HIGH SPEEDOPERATION.ENERGY CONSERVING OILSOils marketed as "Energy Conserving" are intended toimprove fuel economy in passenger car engines. Someof these oils contain friction modifier chemical additives.One additive, molybdenum dithiophosphate, has beenimplicated in copper corrosion problems in some heavyduty diesel engines. Therefore, until further information isavailable, do not use an "Energy Conserving" oilcontaining molybdenum dithiophosphate in any IH-builtengine. In addition, some "Energy Conserving" oils meetonly API category SF for spark ignition engines, and donot meet the oil quality requirements for diesel engines.OIL IDENTIFICATION SYMBOLAn oil container symbol system has been developed tohelp you choose the proper oil. The top portion of thesymbol shows the oil quality, such as API Service SF/CD in the example. The symbol may show additionalcategories, such as API Service SE, SF/CC, CD. Thecenter portion will probably show the SAE viscositygrade, such as SAE 30 in the example. If the lowerportion shows "Energy Conserving," be sure the upperand center portions show correct API service categoryand proper SAE viscosity grade recommended for yourengine.CRANKCASE OIL SPECIFICATIONSFor specific information on most commercial oil brandnames, write for the booklet entitled:"LUBRICATING OIL DATA BOOK FOR HEAVY-DUTYAUTOMOTIVE AND INDUSTRIAL ENGINES"Engine Manufacturers Association111 East Wacker DriveChicago, Illinois 60601(312) 644-6610CTS-4033B-Page 3
