Features & Benefits
-
Improved oxidation & thermal stability reduces deposits build up in crankcase & piston cooling spaces and facilitates better piston cooling efficiency.
-
Good resistance to the action of water and separation capability improves oil life and provides effective lubrication even in presence of water.
-
Excellent filtration and centrifuging capabilities.
-
Excellent resistance to rust & corrosion enhances bearing life.
-
Excellent TBN reserves provides improved neutralization of strong acids, formed due to burning of high sulfur fuels entering inside the system, which helps in keeping the crankcase & circulation tanks cleaner.
