FirebirdHeavy Duty EC Diesel Engine Oil
Phillips 66® Firebird Heavy Duty EC (Emission Compatible) Diesel Engine Oil is an environmentally responsible API CK-4 engine oil developed for use in four-stroke cycle diesel engines designed to meet 2007 and later EPA on-highway exhaust emissions standards. It is specially formulated for compatibility with exhaust aftertreatment systems using diesel particulate filters (DPFs), diesel oxidation catalysts (DOCs) and/or selective catalytic reduction (SCR). It is backward serviceable for use in pre-2007 diesel engines.
Firebird Heavy Duty EC is formulated with a blend of high-quality conventional and re-refined base stocks. It has excellent soot dispersancy to protect against soot-induced oil thickening and abrasive wear, and excellent oxidation resistance to help minimize deposit formation. The low-ash formulation protects exhaust catalysts on low-emission engines and helps prolong DPF life. The use of re-refined base stocks helps lessen the environmental impact of disposal of used oil.
Firebird Heavy Duty EC meets or exceeds the performance requirements of API Service Category CK-4 as well as leading OEM specifications for use in low-emission diesel engines. It is backward serviceable for use where earlier API “C” category engine oils, or the concurrent earlier OEM specifications, are specified. It is formulated for use in diesel engines operating on diesel fuels with sulfur content up to 500 ppm. However, for applications not using Ultra-Low Sulfur Diesel (ULSD), consult the engine manufacturer for recommended service interval.
