Arctic Operations
Where there are no provision to keep the engine warm when It is operating in ambient temperatures consistently
below -23°C [-10°F], use a lubricating oil that meets the following requirements.
SAE 5W30 viscosity grade synthetic oils may be used provided they meet the minimum viscosity at 100°C [212°F].
Parameter Test Method Specifications
Performance Quality API Classification CE-SG, CE-SF, CD-SF, or CC/CD-SF
Viscosity 10,000mPa°s Maximum at -35°C [-31 °F]
4.1 mm2/s Minimum at 100°C [212°F]
Pour Point (ASTM D-97) Minimum of 5°C [9°F] Below the
Lowest Expected Ambient Temperature
Sulfated Ash Content (ASTM D-874) Maximum of 1.85% by Weight Maximum
Fuel Specifications
The Cummins Turbo Diesel engine has been developed to take advantage of the high energy content and generally
lower cost No. 2 Diesel Fuels. Experience has shown that it also operates satisfactorily on No. 1 Diesel Fuels or
other fuels within the following specifications.

ASTM D-524 or 189) .
Not to exceed 1% by weight on 10% residue.
Flash Point (ASTMD-93)
52°C [125°F] minimum. Certain marine
registries require higher flash points.

Ash
(ASTM D-482)
Not to exceed 0.02% by weight.
Distillation
(ASTMD-86)
The distillation curve should be smooth and continuous. At least 90%
of the fuel should evaporate at less than 360°C [680°F]. All of the
fuel should evaporate at less than 385°C [725°F].
*No. 1 Diesel Fuels should only be used where extended arctic conditions -23°C [-10°F] exist.
