castrol's german diesel oil only API CF!

[JHZR2]

Hi,

I was looking for info on the 'SLX' synthetic, which is what is filling our 0w-30 syntec bottles now, and came upon what I guess is their high end diesel oil for LD diesels... Supprisingly, its only CF rated.
Id think it would be smart to take advantagge of newer additive chemistry, but guess not.
Any ideas if europeans are actually using only the equivalent of CF spec in all their new diesels? I dont know how cf and ACEA B3 relate...

Here's how I look at it. CF oils are designed for off-road, indirect injected diesel motors using high sulphur diesel. If this doesn't describe your vehicle, I wouldn't use.
