New Delhi, Sep 27 (BVI) Valvoline Cummins India has announced the launch of All Fleet Full
Synthetic CK4, India’s first full synthetic CK4 engine oil in the Heavy Duty Engine Oil space.
Specially engineered for modern heavy-duty diesel engines, the new oil provides 60%
cleaner piston and 60% better wear protection compared to a market-standard oil meeting
CK-4 specifications, the company said in a statement.
It is suitable for all commercial vehicles meeting BSVI emission standards and is backward compatible with BSIV, a huge relief for fleet operators enabling them to use India’s first full Synthetic oil for all engines platforms, it said.
It’s high viscosity index ensures that the oil retains its optimal thickness even at extreme
temperatures, both hot and cold, enabling smooth flow and reduced wear across a wide
operating range, the company said.
It’s better oxidation control ensures that the engine is protected from oxidation under extreme operating temperatures. These are essential for commercial vehicles operating in India’s harsh and varied driving conditions.
With excellent low-temperature properties, the oil rapidly reaches every component of the engine, even in cold start conditions, minimizing metal-to-metal contact and providing vital protection from the moment the engine fires up.
This ensures reduced friction, lower startup wear, and improved reliability during cold engine starts, a common challenge for fleets operating in North India’s colder regions.
Valvoline’s CK4 Full Synthetic is also fully compatible with modern after-treatment systems
such as EGR (Exhaust Gas Recirculation), DPF (Diesel Particulate Filter), SCR (Selective
Catalytic Reduction), and DOC (Diesel Oxidation Catalyst), thanks to its low SAPS (Sulfated
Ash, Phosphorus, Sulfur) formulation, the company said.
It helps prevent filter blockage, maintains emissions compliance, and supports peak engine performance across new-generation and legacy commercial vehicles.
Speaking on the launch, Sandeep Kalia, Managing Director of Valvoline Cummins Pvt. Ltd., said “The launch of Valvoline CK-4 Full Synthetic, the first of its kind in the country, underscores our commitment to innovation built around real-world performance. Designed for demanding operating conditions, this product offers cleaner engines, longer drain intervals, and stronger wear protection, ultimately helping fleets reduce downtime and improve overall efficiency.” (BVI)
