Gulfmar MX 15W-40
Gulfmar MX is marine engine oil developed to meet the performance
requirements of modern turbocharged and naturally aspirated marine diesel
engines operating on distillate diesel fuel. It is blended from highly refined base stocks and proven performance
additives to provide good detergency, dispersancy and antiwear protection with effective acid
neutralization capability. The product meets the requirements of most of the
medium and high speed marine diesel engines.
Features & Benefits
- High oxidation stability reduces sludge build up & viscosity increase to facilitate long drain intervals
- Improved detergency reduces deposits, keeps engine clean and protects against bore polishing
- Improved dispersancy ensures soot dispersion to control oil thickening and wear
- Good TBN retention ensures effective acid neutralisation
- Effective antiwear properties protect critical engine components to extend engine life and reduce maintenance costs
Applications
- Turbocharged and naturally aspirated 4-stroke medium and high speed marine diesel engines requiring oils meeting the specifications given in the table below.
- Rescue boats, lifeboats, fishing trawlers and coastal vessels.
- Heavy duty diesel engines used in mining, construction, agriculture and other off-highway applications
- Transmissions requiring oil meeting the performance levels given below, more specifically Allison C-4 specifications.
- General ship applications requiring oils meeting the below mentioned specifications
