Description
LubeMax Marine TLX SAE 30
Epoxy Oilserv is the distributor and supplier of Lubemax lubricants in Nigeria. LubeMax Marine TLX SAE 30, a multifunctional crankcase lubricant designed for highly rated medium-speed diesel engines operating on residual fuel. With a Base Number (BN) of 30, it is formulated for conditions of moderate oil stress.
PRODUCT APPLICATION
Medium-Speed Marine and Industrial Diesel Engines
LubeMax Marine TLX SAE 30 is suitable for medium-speed industrial or marine propulsion and auxiliary engines burning residual fuel oils under conditions of moderate oil stress.
These operating conditions typically occur:
- In newer engine designs less than 10 years old.
- Where oil consumption is greater than 1 g/kWh.
- Where load factors are below 85%.
- Where fuels with sulphur content below 3% are in use.
Marine Reduction Gears and Shipboard Equipment
LubeMax Marine TLX SAE 30 can also be used in marine engine reduction gears and certain other shipboard applications where specialist lubricants are not required.
PRODUCT FEATURES AND BENEFITS
Extended Oil Life
LubeMax Marine TLX SAE 30 is a BN 30 oil optimised to resist oxidation and maintain its Base Number, helping to reduce the amount of oil sweetening required.
Engine Protection
LubeMax Marine TLX SAE 30 has an optimised level of detergency designed to maintain an exceptionally clean crankcase, valve deck, and pistons. Its formulation is also optimised to reduce deposits in critical areas, such as the piston undercrown.
System Efficiency
LubeMax Marine TLX SAE 30 features a high-detergency and low-dispersancy formulation designed to effectively release contaminants and water in centrifugal separators.
Flexible BN Control
LubeMax Marine TLX SAE 30 can be used to top up engines already running on another member of the LubeMax Marine TLX family, helping provide immediate control of BN without the need for an oil change.
