Timely filter change and correct selectionCummins engine oils- This important factor in preserving good condition unit for many years.

The use of multi-viscosity oil reduces deposit formation, improves starting in cold environments, and extends service life by maintaining an adequate lubricating film during high operating temperatures. The preference for lubricants with variable viscosity is also explained by their significantly lower (30%) consumption compared to mono-viscosity products.

Although compositions with density indicators remain preferable 15W-40 for enginesCummins, you can and should replace them with more liquid ones in cold climates.

It is widely believed that lower viscosity lubricants improve fuel economy. Oil mixtures meeting the requirements of API CI-4, API CJ-4, and having a viscosity grade of 10W-30 must achieve the specified Cummins Inc. and Mack tests to minimums regarding heat resistance, 3.5 centipause shear viscosity, and ring/lining wear. Thus, they can be used over a wider temperature range than 10W-30, corresponding to the old API ratings. Oils with a viscosity index of 30 (xW-30), registered under Standard 20078 (API CI-4) and meeting the above requirements, can be poured into units where the temperature range is wider than that recommended for other 10W-30 or 5W-30.

Since these lubricants provide less dense oil films than 15W-40, high-quality filter devices must be used and promptly changed at temperatures above 20 ° C.

The use of motor synthetics (made from base oils API Group 3 or 4) is permitted subject to the same performance and viscosity limitations applicable to mineral-based mixtures. The same replacement intervals apply to synthetic ones as to mineral ones.

The table below lists the Cummins® Engineering Standards that apply to all Cummins engines and the U.S. and International product classes that most closely match them.

If the replacement interval is correctly determined, the engine will remain in an acceptable condition for its operating environment for a long time. If an extended maintenance interval is not set correctly, up to 50 percent of a motor's potential life can be lost to an extended maintenance interval.

Optimal interval: Cummins oil change

Using one car moderately, you can safely rely on the manufacturer’s recommendations regarding the time interval between engine fill updates, but on the scale of a large enterprise, a more accurate calculation is required.

In Russia, engines from this manufacturer can be found on Gazelles - in particular, the diesel Cummins 2.8 ISF is installed on all cars of the “Business” family.

Finding the best time to update engine contents is especially important for long-haul truck fleet owners.

The ideal time to drain and refill new oil is the point when the destructive effect of the used composition becomes more significant than the money and time costs saved by postponing maintenance. Harmful exposure factors are divided into short-term and long-term. The short-term effect involves a decrease in fuel consumption efficiency until the next oil drain. Long-term effects include ongoing damage to the internal components of the unit, leading to repair, restoration and downtime costs.

Naturally, it is quite difficult to find exactly the moment when best time for a change. If the condition of the lubricant is known continuously, this is the point when:

Contamination leads to significant loss of properties, up to the tolerance limit.

There is a loss of base number (BN) due to internal corrosion.

Agglomerated soot and sludge begin to form and are likely to settle and stick to the internal components of the engine.

However, since these conditions are almost impossible to accurately determine "by eye" during normal truck operation, the best answer may be an oil mixture quality control sensor and several periodic laboratory tests of the used products.

Various parameters of truck operation can result in fuel consumption from regulated to three times increased for the same 100 km.

In particular, the following are suitable for these motors from the line:

What kind of oil to pour into a turbodiesel engineCummins?

Quick selection of the desired product can be done by engine type or vehicle.

To select by engine type, you must select the category " Trucks and buses”, Cummins brand, then the engine model (Euro 2 - 1995-2002, Euro 3 - 2001-2005 or Euro 4.5 - from 2005) and type.

To select motor oil for a car, you must indicate the manufacturer's brand motor vehicle. For example, for the GAZ-3308 “Sadko” with a Cummins ISF 3.8 engine (volume 10.5 liters), the manufacturer offers the following replacement intervals for different operating conditions:

The properties, characteristics and features of all the proposed options are described in detail on our website, but we are ready to answer any of your questions - contact our manager regarding delivery, availability or documents confirming the quality.

Cummins engines fully correspond to our drivers’ idea of ​​the quality of automotive equipment.

But for all their reliability, they cannot do without high-quality lubricants. Drivers have already made their choice, and domestic retail chains have already adapted to the emerging active demand for oil for Cummins engines.

There comes a time when the driver definitely wonders what kind of oil to put into a Cummins engine. In the more than rich range of lubricants for these engines, G-Profi MSI Plus 15W-40 oil is considered the best option, and Premium Blue Engine Oil lubricant, as a result of tests, was named the official lubricant for Cummins engines.

According to experts, these brands of oils have the following advantages:

  • due to their increased cleaning properties, these oils constantly clean all parts of the engine, extending its service life;
  • they perfectly lubricate parts on which the necessary oil film always remains, protecting the motor from abrasion, both in normal modes and under overload conditions;
  • these lubricants have higher dispersing capabilities, which prevent an increase in oil viscosity and wear of parts even in the presence of burning;
  • they have significant neutralizing capabilities that can enhance resistance to corrosion and oxidation;
  • They have powerful anti-friction properties that enhance engine power.

In addition, the following lubricants are acceptable for Cummins engines:

  • Lubri-Loy® 15w40 API CJ-4/SN;
  • Cummins CES 20078, 20076;
  • Lubri-Loy® API CI-4/SL Multi-Grade Diesel Motor Oils;
  • Cummins CES 20081;
  • Cummins CES 20072, 20071.

IN different countries worldwide, the company's research teams are actively working to develop the most optimal types oils for diesel engines Cummins. Their tests are included in special worldwide classifiers, for example, API. Owners of cars with Cummins engines can only enjoy the fruits of their labor.

Requirements for the properties of engine oils for Cummins

So that the car engine lasts longer without losing its power and others specifications, the driver must provide it with high-quality oil. The presence of a good one is also mandatory for this system. In addition, compliance with the technologically prescribed frequency of oil and filter changes plays an important role.

High-quality engine oil does not allow dry friction of engine parts in contact during movement, and accordingly, failure of parts, breakage and wear of bearings. In addition, the presence of oil reduces the friction force to a minimum level, if, of course, sufficient tightness of the cylinders is ensured.

Naturally, ideal lubricants do not exist. However, it is extremely necessary to maintain the stability characteristics of the oil at a wide variety of temperatures as much as possible, since the heating level of a running engine is quite high.

By the way, the heat displayed on the instrument panel is not the actual engine temperature. The devices only indicate the degree of heating of the coolant. When the engine is running, their temperature is more or less stable and is usually 90 o C. But the temperature of lubricants is less constant and can reach 140 o C, which depends on the speed of the car.

For this reason, developers set the most appropriate level of oil characteristics for each specific engine. If these parameters are observed, a high efficiency is ensured, and engine parts, under standard conditions of use, receive effective protection from unnecessary wear.

Engine oil quality level series B-C, corresponding to average power indicators, according to generally accepted standards of the American Petroleum Institute, must meet the properties of the following classes:

  • CG-4/SH;
  • CF-4/SG;
  • CH-4/SJ.

European standards (ACEA) prescribe types of oils belonging to classes E-2, 3 and 5.

If you focus on these categories of oil, this can provide decent conditions for the operation of any Cummins engine.

Oil viscosity for Cummins engines

An important characteristic of motor oils is their viscosity. This parameter is important in the sense that at higher levels the oil will adhere better to the surface of the working parts of the engine. But it must also maintain its fluidity.

It would seem that there is nothing complicated about this. However, it is the viscosity of the lubricant that is most subject to change under the influence of ambient temperature. Therefore, this indicator cannot be called constant; rather, it is variable.

SAE– The American Association of Automotive Engineers presented its own very practical classification of motor oils depending on viscosity. It gives the permissible viscosity of the oil at the temperatures it reaches while the engine is running. This classification also shows the temperatures of the engine operating in safe mode. The brand of oil must correspond to the specific engine.

The choice of oil brand should also be influenced by how it reacts to changes in atmospheric temperatures, which is especially important in our winters. For such conditions, oils have been developed for specific times of the year.

But many car owners believe that the optimal oil is all-season, citing its economic benefits. This lubricant allows engine operation at any temperature.

So, in the temperature range from -10 to +40 o C, an all-season tire is suitable. If the thermometer drops below -25 o C, then you need winter oil 10W-30, and in frosts above -40 o C you need arctic lubricant 5W-30.

Low-viscosity lubricants such as 10W-30 and, especially, 5W-30 are used only where there is a very frosty winter, and the air temperature drops below -50°C. They make engine starting softer and easier, remaining quite fluid, despite such harsh conditions.

However, when the engine is constantly running on low-viscosity oils, its service life is significantly reduced due to increased abrasion of parts.

Cummins engines tolerate problems with lubricant viscosity very patiently. It is noteworthy that even for break-in they do not require special oils. Moreover, the developers recommend using the same oil that is used during normal driving.

But even drivers of cars with a practically “indestructible” Cummins engine must take into account the oil viscosity factor so that the engine remains in good condition for as long as possible.

Oil change schedule for Cummins engines

The engine cannot constantly operate on lubricant alone. Adding a portion of new oil does not help the situation either. Typically, the lubricant is replaced when the car reaches the mileage specified in the vehicle instructions.

However, the frequency of this operation can be influenced by a fairly large number of factors. Therefore, engine oil for Cummins must be changed taking into account:

  • car use mode;
  • conditions of use of the car;
  • fuel quality.

The procedure for determining the regularity of lubricant changes in the engine is logical and simple:

  • read the manufacturer's instructions regarding service oil changes;
  • assess the presence of factors that, in addition to mileage, shorten the interval in the frequency of oil changes;
  • monitor the level and quality of lubricant in the engine.

Cummins has developed lubrication specifications that help extend the time between oil changes. But these are just recommendations. Each driver must learn to independently determine when it is time for a replacement. To do this, at a minimum, you need to check the oil with a dipstick.

As they say, “if you don’t oil it up, it won’t work.” And if he does go, it won’t be very far. This proverb was invented long before the invention of the Cummins engine, but quite briefly and succinctly characterizes its dependence on the quality and condition of the oil.

Gazelle Next is a small truck for transporting goods in urban environments, which has been produced by the Gorky Automobile Plant since 2013. Predecessor of this car there was Gazelle Business, which received many changes in the new version: a completely new design, a new, safer cabin design, engines and much more. Gazelle Next is produced not only in Nizhny Novgorod, but also in the Turkish city of Sakarya. The car can easily transport cargo weighing from 1500 kilograms. The main competitors in the car market in this class are trucks Mercedes-Benz Sprinter, Iveco Daily and Volkswagen Crafter. Gazelle Next is a good and relatively inexpensive car for people who are just starting their own business, since the design allows you to service the car yourself, which makes maintaining the car cheaper. But it won’t even hit your pocket very hard.

For replacement motor oil Gazelle Next Cummins the amount of lubricant is determined based on engine size.

Oil change intervals

For people who are going to buy Gazelle Next, the manufacturer presents a choice of a line of engines that will appeal to both fans of gasoline and diesel engines, and those who like to drive on gas. The power units that are installed on these cars are quite reliable even with regular transportation of massive objects. But do not forget that in order to extend the life of these engines, or at least not kill them, you must always carry out maintenance on time. To do this, you need to read the operating instructions and regulations for Next. In addition to information about the mileage at which maintenance is required, you can find in these books a lot of new and necessary information for you. The oil change procedure and its features are no exception.

Each motor for normal operation Needs to change engine oil from time to time. Most engines have approximately the same mileage at which this procedure needs to be carried out, but each manufacturer makes its own recommendations. For a GAZ diesel engine, once every 10,000 kilometers, and for gasoline units - once every 10,000 - 15,000 kilometers. Always remember that the oil filter must also be changed.

Filling capacity of Gazelle Next engines

As we said earlier, for this car the buyer has several power units to choose from, namely:

  • diesel 2.8-liter Cummins, which meets the European environmental standard Euro-4;
  • petrol 2.7-liter Evotech, also compliant with Euro 4;
  • gasoline engine with gas installation, 2.7-liter Evotech, which complies with the European environmental standard Euro 5.

During the oil change procedure, you need to remember filling volume your engine. You can also find it in the books that come with your vehicle. A 2.8-liter Cummins engine requires 6.5 liters of engine lubricant. The other two engines require 4.5 liters of oil. If you decide to carry out maintenance of the machine yourself, then you need to regularly make inspections and check the oil level. This is quite easy to do. Checking the oil level is done using a dipstick. For normal operation, the indicator on the dipstick must be halfway between the “MAX” and “MIN” marks.

Selecting the right lubricant

Information on choosing the right oil is also in the Gazelle Next operating instructions. For Gazelle with a Cummins diesel engine, the manufacturer recommends using Shell Rimula R6 10W-40 or Shell Helix HX7 Diesel 10W-40. And for gasoline ones - HX7 5W-40. This oil is quite common in almost all car stores in any city, so there will be no problems with its selection and purchase. We do not recommend using another oil, because in this case a 100% guarantee of engine wear protection is not guaranteed.

Tools required for changing

To carry out the oil change procedure on our own you will need the following materials and tools:

  1. First, you need to buy the consumables that you will change, namely: new lubricant taking into account the required displacement, a new oil filter and a new gasket for the drain bolt.
  2. Secondly, this is the tool that you will need to carry out the procedure. This is a puller for removing the old filter, keys for removing the engine protection and unscrewing the drain hole.
  3. You will also need a container into which you will drain the waste.

Do-it-yourself algorithm for changing engine oil in a Gazelle Next engine

First, warm up the engine of your car. This is done so that the waste flows out easily from the pan and engine of the machine. After this, place an empty waste container under the pan and unscrew the drain plug. Also unscrew the filler hole to avoid the formation of a vacuum in the engine, which will reduce the time it takes to drain the old oil. At first, the oil will flow quite quickly, but then in drops until it runs away from all components of the power unit.

While the waste fills the container, you can remove the old oil filter and install a new one.

But before installing a new filter, you need to pour approximately 150 grams of new oil into it and only then install it in place. After power unit your car is completely free of waste, tighten the drain hole with a bolt. Next, fill in new engine oil and tighten the filler plug.

After the change, let the machine run for about 15 minutes, then check the level with the engine turned off. This completes the oil change.

Gazelle Next is very popular among Russian car enthusiasts. This light-duty vehicle was developed at the Gorky plant and produced in mass production in 2013. A new version The Gazelle was equipped with a safe and comfortable cabin, as well as independent suspension and steering mechanism with hydraulic booster.

For full operation of the Gazelle Next engine, it is necessary to use high-quality oil based on mineral or synthesized substances. According to technical regulations, replacement of engine fluid in a Russian car is carried out upon reaching 10-15 thousand kilometers.

Depending on the type of engine installed, the oil fill volume is 10 liters. As a rule, car enthusiasts use two 5-liter cans. For trouble-free operation of the engine, it is recommended to fill in semi-synthetic with a viscosity index of 10w40.

Separately, it is worth highlighting the significant reduction in oil and fuel consumption.

The Kamens engine lubrication system provides lubrication and cooling of the moving parts and mechanisms of the system - bearings, gears, and cylinders.

A lack of oil in the engine can lead to breakdown and failure of the entire system, so it is extremely important to promptly diagnose and lubricate the engine, as well as monitor the sufficient oil level.

The volume in a Kamens engine (the capacity of the engine lubrication system) depends on several characteristics: the number of cylinders, engine displacement and the type of oil pan.

Oil volume in a 4-cylinder Kamens engine (standard):

Oil volume in a 6-cylinder Kamens engine (standard):

  • Small capacity tray – system capacity 13 l; pallet – 11 l.
  • Hanging tray – system capacity 19.5 l; pallet - 17.5 l.
  • Standard type tray – system capacity 16.7 l; pallet - 14.2 l.
  • Hanging tray – system capacity 19.7 l; pallet - 17.5 l.
  • Large capacity tray – system capacity 26.4 l; pallet - 23.9 l.

Kamens marine engine oil capacity is 15.1 liters (16 quarts).

If the type and capacity of the oil pan are unknown, you can:

  • Contact your Cummins representative.
  • Determine oil pan capacity using engine serial number using QuickServe™ OnLine.
  • Fill the pan with the minimum amount of oil specified for this engine type. Next, add 1 liter at a time to the top mark on the dipstick.

Lubrication system in Cummins diesel engines

The main parts that make up the lubrication systems of all diesel engines are the oil pan, the oil cooler, and a system of channels that distribute oil to all moving mechanisms.

Sometimes units can be equipped with electric oil pumps, which drivers use to pre-lube the engine (before starting it) and increase the pressure to operating levels.

Oil pan- This is an oil reservoir. The most common types of pans found in diesel engines are aluminum, cast iron or steel (stamped) pans. It is equipped with a rubber-metal oil dipstick for checking the oil level and an oil deflector that prevents oil from splashing onto the connecting rods. The walls of the pan remove heat from the oil, cooling it slightly. Oil sediment settles to the bottom of the pan.

Oil pump– designed to take oil from the sump and supply it further to the oil cooler, as well as to maintain the required pressure in the lubrication system diesel engine. The drive is provided directly, via an intermediate shaft or a camshaft.

Diesel engines use gear and rotary pumps (external gear, internal gear or planetary), in diesel engines cargo type– gear scavenge pumps. They ensure a constant supply of oil when the machine is operating on a slope.

Oil cooler– designed for additional oil cooling. It becomes possible to reduce the size of the oil pan, resulting in much less oil coming into contact with hot engine parts during sudden changes in engine tilt. The oil cooler is a radiator - a system copper tubes, enclosed in a sealed housing.

Oil flows through the tubes, and coolant flows into the housing. Moreover, the directions of flow of oil and liquid are opposite. At the inlet of the oil cooler there is a pressure reducing valve designed to regulate pressure. The valve is set to a pressure of 414 kPa.

Oil filter– installed at the outlet of the oil cooler. Modern diesel engines use full-flow and part-flow engines. The former completely allow the oil flow coming from the oil cooler to pass through them. The latter are only part of this flow.

The rest of the oil goes back into the pan. Thus, oil purification is ensured in several cycles. At the entrance oil filter there is a bypass valve.

The Cummins diesel engine duct system consists of the main oil duct and its branches, the oil supply duct and the turbocharger line. Oil is supplied to the turbocharger and drained back into the sump through flexible tubes made of neoprene rubber, nylon and other synthetic materials.

The main oil line supplies oil to all moving mechanisms - main and connecting rod bearings, crankshaft and camshaft, valve mechanism, piston and cylinder blocks, and others. Oil pressure in the lubrication system is maintained by holes of a given cross-section.

Oil movement in the Kamens lubrication system

From the oil pan, oil enters the oil pump through the intake pipe. Next, the oil is supplied to the inlet of the oil cooler.

When high blood pressure excess oil flows back into the pump (3.9 L and 5.9 L engines) or into the sump (4.5 L and 6.7 L engines). Next, the oil enters the filter inlet, the bypass valve of which opens if the pressure drop across the filter is above 345 kPa.

After being cleaned in the filter, the oil enters the lubrication system - the main line, the injector channel and the turbocharger line. The main oil line passes through the cylinder block next to where the oil flows to the main bearings and crankshaft. From the main bearings there is a branch to the camshaft and piston cooling nozzles.

Let's list some possible reasons leading to malfunction of the lubrication system:

  • High oil pressure. The pressure regulator valve is stuck in the closed position.
  • Low oil pressure. It is important to find out the conditions under which the pressure decreased. If after changing the oil, this may be due to its high level in the pan, since the connecting rods during operation are immersed in it and saturated with air, which leads to a decrease in pressure. Low level oil may lead to a short-term drop in pressure when working on slopes and turns.
  • A clogged oil filter causes a gradual decrease in pressure by 69 kPa. Poor fastening of the intake tube leads to a decrease in pressure during startup. A decrease in pressure over a long period of time may indicate wear of the bearings or oil pump.
  • Operation malfunction.
  • Presence of impurities in oil(fuel, coolant). Mixing oil and coolant is usually caused by a leak in the oil cooler.
