Years of work are under way to develop two new diesel-engine oil service categories to help hit emission targets and boost engine performance.

With engine oils meeting new CK-4 and FA-4 category specs on the market, fleets need to know how best to make use of them.
The program makes Pennzoil and Quaker State motor oils and Shell Rotella engine oils available to the Bridgestone Affiliated Retailer Nationwide Network.
