CH-4 Grade

CH-4 Grade is a diesel engine oil for high-speed four-stroke diesel engines, including supercharged and turbocharged units, where API CH-4 performance is recommended. Available grades: CH4 15W40, CH4 20W50. API introduced CH-4 in 1998 for high-speed four-stroke engines designed to meet 1998 emission standards.

Overview

CH-4 Grade is a diesel engine oil for high-speed four-stroke diesel engines, including supercharged and turbocharged units, where API CH-4 performance is recommended. Available grades: CH4 15W40, CH4 20W50. API introduced CH-4 in 1998 for high-speed four-stroke engines designed to meet 1998 emission standards.

Each grade is listed separately in the specification table with its viscosity at 100 °C, viscosity index, flash point, pour point, density and base number, so grades can be compared directly before ordering.

Application

Turbocharged and supercharged diesel engines

High-speed four-stroke engines for which API CH-4 is recommended.

Application

Construction, mining and agriculture

Civil and road works, mining and agricultural machinery, as listed in the product's source documentation.

Feature

Published values by grade

CH4 15W40: KV100 15.5 cSt, VI 140, TBN 11, pour point -27 °C; CH4 20W50: KV100 19 cSt, VI 125, TBN 11, pour point -27 °C.

Feature

Choice of viscosity grades

2 grades in one product line, so a fleet can standardise on one API level across different climates or engine requirements.

Questions

Which grade should I choose?

Use the SAE grade in the engine manual for your ambient temperature range. Multigrade oils (such as 15W40) cover a wider temperature range than monograde oils (such as SAE 40 or 50).
