Nearly every hot rod and racing enthusiast shares a common bond: the indispensable need for a dependable diesel-powered transport. Whether it's a personal diesel pickup truck hauling a classic hot rod on a trailer or a colossal race hauler carrying multiple vehicles along with tons of tools, parts and equipment, the motorsports community rides or dies on the back of a diesel truck.

For years, Lucas Oil has been known throughout the motorsports and hotrod communities for making some of the best race products on the planet, like its High-Performance Racing Only Motor Oil with Zinc Technology and L9 Racing Gear Oil, to name a few. These, and all of Lucas Oil’s race-specific products, have been trusted by teams everywhere, delivering countless victories and podium finishes.

Diesel trucks remain the backbone of most race operations and Lucas Oil has them covered. Increased performance standards by diesel engine manufacturers coupled with new lower emissions requirements continue to drive new oil standards. Specifically, the North American Petroleum Institute (API) created the API Service Category CK-4, which requires diesel engines oils for vehicles model year 2017 and newer to provide added protection against oil oxidation, viscosity loss, oil aeration, catalyst poisoning, particulate filter blocking and more. Oils that don’t meet this standard can negatively affect engine performance and cause higher emissions levels.

Truckers and diesel vehicle owners have trusted Lucas Oil products for more than three decades, especially its newest premium engine oil, Lucas Oil CK4 Diesel Motor Oil. As a premium, heavy duty motor oil blended with high-quality API Group II and Group Ill base oils, Lucas Oil CK-4 Diesel Motor Oil includes a cutting-edge additive package providing the robust performance required by these types of engines. Designed exclusively to exceed standards established for today’s diesel engines, Lucas CK-4 Diesel Motor Oil also provides increased fuel economy resulting in reduced operating costs.

Need more pulling power? Lucas Oil CK-4 Diesel Motor Oil is the perfect choice for maximizing an engine's power and performance. Using an advanced formula with superior lubrication properties, Lucas Oil CK-4 Diesel Motor Oil delivers unmatched protection against wear and tear, ensuring engines stay in peak condition for longer. This oil is designed for truckers, off-road enthusiasts, and owners of personal diesel vehicles because it is specifically designed to meet the demands of today’s diesel engines. Lucas CK-4 Motor Oil is available in Full Synthetic Blend, Synthetic Blend and Petroleum versions. It extends engine life, allows for extended oil changes, produces lower soot levels, less filter maintenance, less oxidation, lower oil consumption and high temperature stability. Lucas Oil CK-4 Diesel Motor Oil safely blends with other motor oils and other Lucas Oil products like its Heavy Duty Oil Stabilizer.

Lucas Oil CK-4 Diesel Motor Oil has also been designed to meet the strict Cummins® Engine Standard CES20086. Cummins Engine Standards often have many of the same properties as API standards, however the CES20086 requires lubricants to provide advanced lubricant performance in its modern, emissions treatment equipped diesel engines, including all types of Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) and Diesel Particulate Filters (DPF).
