DEUTZ Quality Class
The benchmark of quality.
Lube Oils according to DQC Classification (DEUTZ Quality Class)
The introduction of the new ACEA and API oil specifications, as well as the requirements for longer oil change intervals, reduced oil refill quantities and the inclusion of alternative fuels in the DEUTZ engine portfolio means that the current oil release classes must be updated.
| Quality Class | Oil type |
|---|---|
| DQC I-02 | Minimum oil quality, some shorter oil change intervals |
| DQC II-18 | Engine oil, usually used in engines with open crankcase ventilation |
| DQC III-18 | Standard quality, high performance diesel engine oils, for use in engines with closed crankcase ventilation and/or with high thermal loads |
| DQC IV-18 | Ultra high performance diesel engine oils for engines with the highest levels of output, with closed crankcase ventilation and/or with the highest thermal loads and the highest requirements for piston cleanliness (suitable for TTCD steel piston engines) |
| DQC II-18 LA | Low-ash engine oil, usually used in engines with open crankcase ventilation |
| DQC III-18 LA | Low-ash high performance diesel engine oil, standard quality, for use in engines with closed crankcase ventilation and/or with high thermal loads |
| DQC IV-18 LA | Low-ash ultra high performance diesel and gas engine oil for engines with the highest levels of output, with closed crankcase ventilation and/or with the highest thermal loads and very high requirements for piston cleanliness (suitable for TTCD steel piston engines) and extended oil change intervals |
