  • Super-D® 3 Diesel Engine Oil 15W-40
    Super-D® 3 Diesel Engine Oil 15W-40 Premium Universal Fleet Kendall® Super-D 3 Diesel Engine Oil, SAE 15W-40, is a premium quality universal fleet engine oil designed for use in on-highway diesel trucks and off-highway Engine Oil diesel equipment, as well as in passenger cars and light trucks with either diesel or gasoline engines. It is recommended for use both in EGR-equipped diesel engines and in older, non-EGR diesel engines. It also will provide excellent protection for gasoline engines for use in mixed commercial fleets. Super-D 3 SAE 15W-40 is formulated with advanced additive technology to provide outstanding wear protection, soot control and bearing corrosion protection. Outstanding soot dispersancy protects against abrasive wear and soot-induced oil thickening, and ensures good low-temperature pumpability even with soot-laden oil. High dispersancy-detergency and a high alkaline reserve (TBN) provide extra protection in extended drain or severe service intervals, and in EGR-equipped engines. Super-D 3 SAE 15W-40 meets or exceeds the performance requirements of API Service Categories CI-4 and SL, API CI-4 PLUS, and leading OEM specifications and worldwide standards for diesel engine oils. It is backward serviceable for use where API CH-4 or earlier “C” category engine oils, or the concurrent earlier OEM specifications, are specified. Applications • On-highway diesel trucks equipped with cooled-EGR, ACERT or other technologies to meet 2004 and earlier exhaust emission standards • Older diesel equipment with conventional, non-EGR engines • Mixed fleets with both diesel and gasoline-fueled vehicles • Off-highway construction, earth moving and mining equipment • Farm equipment with diesel or gasoline engines Super-D 3 SAE 15W-40 is licensed or OEM-certified for: • API Service CI-4 with CI-4 PLUS, CI-4, CH-4, SL • Cummins CES 20078 • Detroit Diesel DFS 93K214 • Mack EO-N Premium Plus 03 • Mercedes-Benz Sheet 228.3 • Renault VI RLD-2 • Volvo VDS-3 KendallMotorOil.com U.S.

  • The Difference Between GL-4 and GL-5 Gear Oils by Richard Widman
    The Difference between GL-4 and GL-5 Gear Oils by Richard Widman Revision 6-2020 The original target audience for this paper was my group of friends in the Corvair world, but it applies to all cars, and is particularly important for all classic cars. I originally wrote this in 2013. This is the fifth draft of this paper, updating several areas, especially the section on viscosities, based on emails I’ve received. There is a lot of confusion about gear oils and the API classifications. In this paper I will try to differentiate the two oils and clear up the mysteries that are flying all over the internet. It is extremely common, or normal, for all GL-5 oils to claim they cover the API GL-4 requirements for gear oils. This is a true statement. Does that make them satisfactory for synchromesh or synchronized transmissions? NO! They meet the GEAR OIL specifications, not transmission oil specifications. The API GL-4 and GL-5 categories do not mention or have anything to do with transmission synchronizers. History: The gear oils of a few decades ago had lead additives that were effective at wear reduction, but not very good for the environment. A long time ago they began to be replaced by gear oils with a phosphorous additive (in itself a decent anti-wear additive) with active sulfur to grip hold of the gears and create a very solid sacrificial layer of material that could be worn off, thereby protecting the gear surface. Eventually it was discovered that the active sulfur was causing corrosion of brass and other soft metals used in differentials and transmissions.

  • When Your Car Leaks Oil on the Street, Remember It's Not Just Leaking Oil on the Street
    When your car leaks oil on the street, Remember it’s not just leaking oil on the street. Leaking oil goes from car to street. Then it gets washed from the street into the storm drain and into our lakes, rivers, and streams. Now imagine the number of cars in the area and you can imagine the amount of oil that finds its way from leaky gaskets into our water. So please, fix oil leaks.
