PRODUCT APPLICATION

Medium-Speed Industrial and Marine Diesel Engines

LubeMax Marine TLX SAE 40 is suitable for medium-speed industrial or marine propulsion and auxiliary engines burning residual fuel oils under conditions of moderate oil stress.

These conditions usually 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 Applications

LubeMax Marine TLX SAE 40 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 40 is designed to resist oxidation and maintain its Base Number, helping to reduce the amount of oil sweetening required during operation.

Engine Protection

LubeMax Marine TLX SAE 40 has an optimised level of detergency designed to maintain a clean crankcase, valve deck, and pistons. Its formulation is further optimised to help reduce deposits in critical areas, including the piston undercrown.

System Efficiency

LubeMax Marine TLX SAE 40 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 40 can be used to top up engines already running on another member of the LubeMax Marine TLX family, providing immediate BN control without the need for an oil change.
