When choosing the right engine oil for your equipment, it's crucial to ensure that it meets industry certification standards. These certifications guarantee that the oil provides optimal performance, protection, and efficiency. This is especially important for natural gas engines, such as Caterpillar, Waukesha, and Cummins, which require low-ash oil to minimize deposit buildup and maintain engine longevity.

Why Do Engine Oil Certifications Matter?

Engine oil certifications are issued by industry organizations and OEMs (Original Equipment Manufacturers) to confirm that the oil meets specific performance and protection standards. Using certified oil helps:
✅ Extend engine life.
✅ Improve fuel efficiency.
✅ Reduce maintenance costs.
✅ Ensure compliance with warranty requirements.
