Valvoline Cummins launches India’s first full synthetic CK4 engine oil
MUMBAI: Keeping engines running smooth and clean! Valvoline Cummins India has unveiled ‘All fleet full synthetic CK4’, the country’s first full synthetic CK4 engine oil for next-generation commercial vehicle diesel engines.
Designed for modern heavy-duty diesel engines, the new oil delivers 60 per cent cleaner pistons and 60 per cent better wear protection than standard CK4 oils. Compatible with BSVI engines and backward-compatible with BSIV, it allows fleet operators to use a single, advanced oil across all platforms.
The oil’s high viscosity index ensures optimal thickness under extreme temperatures, while excellent low-temperature performance minimises friction and wear during cold starts: a crucial advantage for fleets in North India. Its strong oxidation stability and lower volatility reduce oil consumption and extend service intervals, offering both longevity and cost efficiency.
Valvoline’s ‘CK4 full synthetic’ is also fully compatible with modern after-treatment systems including EGR, DPF, SCR, and DOC. Its low SAPS formulation prevents filter blockages, maintains emissions compliance, and supports peak engine performance across new and legacy vehicles.
Valvoline Cummins India, managing director, Sandeep Kalia said, “The launch of Valvoline ‘CK4 Full Synthetic,’ a first in India, underscores our commitment to innovation. Designed for demanding conditions, it offers cleaner engines, longer drain intervals, and stronger wear protection, helping fleets reduce downtime and improve efficiency.”
The product is now available nationwide through Valvoline Cummins India’s authorised dealers, fleet workshops, and commercial vehicle service centres.
