Tier 4 Preliminary Findings
PostedJuly 22, 2025
UpdatedJuly 22, 2025
ByFluid Life
Learn how tighter emissions regulations are changing your oil and what you can do about it.

Since 1996, off-road diesel engine applications have been regulated under tighter emission standards from the Environmental Protection Agency, Environment Canada and the European Union which have led manufacturers to force emission particulate into the engine oil. For this preliminary study, Fluid Life analyzed over 22,000 oil samples from the 2 models of engines with the highest populations of Tier 4 classifications.
