Common questions about 234 Odyssey Motor Oil 3400 / 15W-40
-
What is 234 Odyssey 3400 15W-40 used for?
234 Odyssey 3400 15W-40 is a heavy duty synthetic blend moly motor oil made by Primrose Oil Company and supplied by ASJ Products, recommended for gasoline and most diesel engines in light to heavy duty service. Listed applications include trucks, buses, tractors, combines, bulldozers, cotton pickers, cranes, stationary generators, irrigation engines and drilling rig engines.
-
Should I use 234 Odyssey 3400 or 229 Odyssey 3000 in my newer ULSD diesel?
Primrose particularly recommends 234 Odyssey 3400 (API CK-4) for heavy duty diesels burning ultra-low sulfur diesel (ULSD) in 2017 and newer on-highway models and Tier 4 non-road engines, and for earlier diesels calling for API CK-4 oil. Primrose's 229 Odyssey 3000 (API CJ-4) is particularly recommended for 2007 to 2016 model year heavy duty diesels with emission after-treatment. Both are 15W-40, so confirm your engine calls for that grade.
-
What oil specs does 234 Odyssey 3400 15W-40 meet, like Cummins CES 20086 or Cat ECF-3?
Primrose lists 234 Odyssey 3400 as meeting and exceeding Cummins CES 20086 and Cat ECF-3 at the applicable viscosity grade, which Primrose describes as suitable for use. The same Technical Data Sheet list includes API CK-4/SN, Mack EOS 4.5, Volvo VDS-4.5, DDC 93K222, ACEA E7-16, MB 228.31 and JASO DH-2. That data sheet covers both 10W-30 and 15W-40 grades, so check the list against your engine manual.
-
Can I use 234 Odyssey 3400 15W-40 in a gasoline engine?
Yes, 234 Odyssey 3400 15W-40 can be used in gasoline engines whose owner's manual calls for a 15W-40 oil. Primrose recommends it for gasoline and most diesel engines, says it meets and exceeds API performance categories for gasoline engines, and rates it API CK-4/SN. Automobiles are on its application list.
-
Is 234 Odyssey 3400 full synthetic, and can I mix it with the oil already in my engine?
234 Odyssey 3400 is a synthetic blend moly motor oil, not a full synthetic, and Primrose says it is fully compatible with most other synthetic and conventional mineral oil based motor oils. It blends pure synthetic hydrocarbon base stocks with severely hydrocracked base stocks and adds Primrose Moly-D, which Primrose credits with reducing engine wear.
