Power Driven Diesel Full Synthetic 5W-40 Engine Oil is a premium formulation developed for performance turbo diesel engines that require a thinner grade for cold winter startup and better cold-flow properties. Power Driven Diesel Full Synthetic 5W-40 is based on a CI-4 formulation that has been enhanced with a custom additive package with a heavy dose of ZDDP (the best anti-wear additive available). The result of nearly 2,200 ppm of ZDDP is unbeatable wear protection for your engine at any power level! From mild tow trucks to 3,000 hp full-competition engines, Power Driven Diesel Full Synthetic Engine Oil is what we use and recommend for everything we work on.
Starting with CJ-4 and later CK-4 diesel engine oil, the focus of oil formulation shifted towards allowing emission components to last through the government-mandated 100,000-mile warranty. All engines burn some oil, and the oil industry knew that certain anti-wear additives (such as ZDDP) were harmful to these devices, so they reduced the ZDDP content of CJ-4 and further reduced it in CK-4 oils in order to meet emission equipment life cycle requirements. Reduced ZDDP is great for emission devices but shortens the lifespan of the engine. Many diesels never came with emission devices. Using the most modern CJ-4 or CK-4 oils in engines without emission equipment is sacrificing engine longevity for no reason.
Power Driven Diesel Full Synthetic 5W-40 Engine Oil is the best choice for performance diesel engines without emission devices. Set yourself up for more power and longer engine life today!
Warning: We do not recommend this product for vehicles with emission devices such as catalytic converters and diesel particulate filters. The additive package in this oil will shorten the life of these devices.

My 7.3 seems to love this 5W40! It’s been starting faster, smoother and quieter since switching from another brand 15W40.
Started in 3° F this morning without issue. Smooth. Not plugged in. Power steering pump was hating life, motor was smooth.
