Still meets API CJ-4, CI-4 PLUS, CI-4, CH-4, C4, SM, SL, SH; ACEA E9; Caterpillar ECF-3, ECF-2; Cummins CES 20081; DDC 93K218; Ford WSS M2C171-E; JASO DH2; Mack EO-0 Premium Plus; MAN 3275; MB Approval 228.31; and Volvo VDS-4 specs. (As did the previous CI-4 Rotella T Syn formula). They added JASO-MA certification, which applies to wet clutch vehicles (e.g. motorcycles).

Also significantly better than their older CJ-4 formulation: http://www-static.shell.com/static/can-en/downloads/products_services/lubric ants/rotella/rotella_t6.pdf
