Valvoline and Cummins Hit 100K Mile Oil Change Milestone for X15

Key Details Valvoline Premium Blue One Solution Gen2 has earned the first OEM-approved heavy-duty oil drain interval reaching 100,000 miles for Cummins X15 engines. This represents a 25,000-mile extension compared to previous recommendations, depending on duty cycle and operating conditions. The approval applies to both diesel and natural gas X15 engines. Why It Matters Extended drain intervals directly reduce fleet maintenance downtime and lower operating costs. Fewer oil changes mean less scheduled service time, reduced labor requirements, and fewer interruptions to revenue-generating operations. For large fleets managing multiple trucks, these savings compound significantly. Added Benefits The tri-fuel formulation works across diesel, natural gas, and gasoline engines, allowing fleets to maintain a single oil inventory instead of multiple products. This simplifies procurement and reduces storage complexity. The extended intervals also decrease waste oil generation, lowering environmental disposal costs. Technical Foundation Introduced in 2020, Premium Blue One Solution Gen2 delivers improved oxidation resistance and thermal stability. These properties enable longer oil life and support the extended drain capability. Valvoline and Cummins have collaborated for nearly three decades on heavy-duty lubricant development, providing a solid foundation for this breakthrough approval.
