No problem. Usually they come as 10W30 fleet oil. Most coveted of all is the Amsoil ACD which is an SAE30 that behaves like a 10W30.

 

I doubt you can find 0W30 diesel rated fleet oil. Most 10W30 HDEO meets all the C* rating except for the CI-4+.

 

You got lobang for 10W30 fleet oil? Rimula Premium 10W30?

Its the CI-4 rating. If it is CI-4 rated, definitely can. Any lower C* rating, better don't. Latest CI-4+. Check engine requirements from manual. If manual say need lower than CI-4+, can use.

 

If there is a 10W30 HDEO that meets CI-4+, I can imagine how strong it is. Viscosity also quite high.

You may try to pump from the distributor, it much cheaper than normal pump station by 10%.

 

Our company order from Shell the cost only S$0.80 compare to >S$1.00 from pump station.

Shell, SPC and others only supply to pump station or company can commit to large volume and the company will gain the saving from the rebate.

 

For some of company( distributor) whoes dealing with this commodity supply to SME; like transport co, vessel, bunker and etc.
