Aftermarket Oil Additives

Usage:

65E 1GM

CLAAS does not recommend the use of aftermarket additives in oil for this machine. It is not necessary to use aftermarket additives in order to achieve the machine's maximum service life or rated performance. Fully formulated, finished oils consist of base oils and of commercial additive packages. These additive packages are blended into the base oils at precise percentages in order to provide finished oils with performance characteristics that meet industry standards.

There are no industry standard tests that evaluate the performance of aftermarket additives in oil. There are also no industry standard tests that evaluate the compatibility of these aftermarket additives in a finished oil. Aftermarket additives may not be compatible with the finished oil's additive package, which could lower the performance of the finished oil. The aftermarket additive could fail to mix with the finished oil. This could produce sludge. CLAAS discourages the use of aftermarket additives in finished oils for this machine.
