Royal Purple 85561 is the exact Duralec Ultra synthetic motor oil shown in this listing, supplied as a 5 gallon pail. Select it by the required fluid specification, viscosity, service category, component compatibility, and package quantity rather than by vehicle name alone.
Key Features
- The Duralec Ultra 15W-40 formulation in the 5-gallon pail format is designed for shop and fleet operations that service diesel trucks, commercial vehicles, and off-highway equipment where bulk purchasing reduces per-unit cost.
- The API CK-4 rating meets current API CI-4 Plus backward compatibility requirements, making the Royal Purple 85561 suitable for both new engines and older diesel platforms in the same fleet.
- The CK-4 rating specifically addresses compatibility with low-emission engine designs and their exhaust aftertreatment systems.
- API CI-4 Plus was the previous top-tier rating.
- It is suitable for use in Cummins, Detroit Diesel, Caterpillar, Mack, Volvo, and similar platforms operating on standard diesel fuel where a 15W-40 viscosity grade is specified.
- Royal Purple Duralec Ultra's full synthetic base stocks and high-performance additive chemistry are engineered to maintain lubricant integrity over extended drain intervals compared to conventional mineral or blended 15W-40 oils.
Compatibility
This is a universal specification-based product and does not receive year, make, or model fitment tags. Confirm the exact fluid specification, viscosity, service category, system capacity, material compatibility, and current manufacturer instructions before use.
