Pure Mack Engine Oil: Same Great Name, Even Better Protection

You’ve always trusted Mack® Engine Oil to provide the very best protection for your Mack truck. But, as you may have heard, our formula recently changed. However, there’s no need to be alarmed. Because our new formula isn’t just different – it’s better. Much better. Here’s why. 

In December 2016, the heavy-duty trucking industry began using a new classification of oil called CK-4, which is designed to meet 2017 model year emissions standards. These new emissions levels require engines to run at higher operating temperatures than ever before, which means the engine oil you use had to be reworked so that it could withstand these hotter underhood environments.

At Mack Trucks, that meant creating new Mack Engine Oil EOS-4.5, which not just meets but exceeds the CK-4 spec. Here are some of the benefits of our new formulation.

Extended Drain Intervals

While typical maintenance standards call for oil and filter changes every 25,000 to 45,000 miles, depending on application and duty cycle, new Mack Engine Oil EOS-4.5 delivers extended drain interval recommendations of:

• 35,000 miles for severe-duty applications
• 45,000 miles for heavy-duty applications
• 60,000 miles for normal-duty applications

That means your fleet can drive further on fewer oil changes. In fact, with new Mack Engine Oil EOS-4.5, you can skip between four and 16 oil drains over the life of your vehicle, depending on duty cycle.

But that’s not all. New Mack Engine Oil EOS-4.5 is so advanced that, for the first time ever, our oil drain interval recommendations actually exceed our engine drain interval recommendations by 5,000 miles.

Reduced Component Wear

New Mack Engine Oil EOS-4.5 delivers enhanced performance for oil oxidation and oil aeration control, as well as improved shear stability. This means the oil won’t break down at high operating temperatures or under severe stress, so your engine’s critical internal components are better protected from premature wear.

Protects All Makes and Models

While new Mack Engine Oil EOS-4.5 was specially designed for Mack MP7, MP8 and MP 10 engines, it can be used in any make or model, including older, previous emissions-level engines.
