This is a multi-grade oil that meets the requirements for most diesel engines. It has a high viscosity index, which means it maintains its viscosity over a wide temperature range. It also contains detergents and dispersants that keep the engine clean.
API CI-4/SL
These are the performance standards for diesel engine oils. CI-4 is the current standard for heavy-duty diesel engines. SL is the current standard for light-duty diesel engines. Engine oil with this grade of service is suitable for use in both gasoline and diesel engines.
Other requirements
In addition to the SAE viscosity grade and API performance standard, you should also consider the following factors when choosing an engine oil for your 306 diesel:
* Engine type: There are different types of diesel engines, so it is important to select the right oil for your specific engine.
* Climate: The climate you live in will affect the type of engine oil you need. If you live in a cold climate, you will need an oil with a lower viscosity so that it flows easily at cold temperatures.
* Driving conditions: If you drive in severe conditions, such as in dusty or dirty environments, you will need an oil with higher levels of detergents and dispersants.
You should also consult your vehicle's owner's manual to find out the exact type of oil it requires.
