Put an 8000+ pound/4K kg trailer on the back of a diesel truck & a gas truck-bet I beat you to the gas (petrol?) station! Also-I don't think diesel oils beyond CF are very common in Europe-all the new Mercedes spec oils (like 229.51) are ALL CF!


Can't mix and match passenger diesel (229.51) specs with HD specs (API CI-4+/CJ-4 and ACEA E7/E9). Mutually exclusive.

CF is just a "freebie" spec to meet with very low requirements.
