GAS ENGINE OIL LA 40

GAS ENGINE OIL  LA 40

Gas Engine Oil 0 LA 40 is a premium quality SAE 40 gas engine oil. It is blended from highly refined base stocks fortified with carefully selected additives having low ash characteristics giving optimum performance in spark ignited engines fuelled by natural gas. This oil also contains wear resistance and detergent/dispersant additives. High oxidation resistance and good thermal stability ensure adequate performance reserve for extended service life.

Usage

  • High-speed lean-burn and stoichiometric gas engines sensitive to valve seat recession
  • Crankcases and power cylinders of spark-ignited two and four-stroke cycle gas engines
  • Recommended for applications requiring low ash formulations
  • Reciprocating natural gas compressor cylinders
  • High output or ambient rated engines operating at or in excess of rated capacity under high temperatures
  • Engines operating on fuel containing low levels of hydrogen sulphide

Properties

  • Excellent Anti-wear and Anti-scuff Properties
  • Exceptional Oxidation and Chemical Stability
  • Low Ash Formulation
  • Corrosion Resistance
  • Outstanding Detergency and Dispersancy Properties
  • Reduced combustion chamber deposits to cater for the higher temperatures produced by gas engines
  • Increased lubricant life
  • Good control of valve wear
  • Reduced heat exchanger deposits
  • Low engine maintenance and long service life
  • High resistance to corrosive attack
  • High resistance to oxidation and nitration
