AUTO 15W-40
Features and Benefits
Modern high output, high speed, lean-burn diesel type engines using natural gas fuels place severe demands on engine lubricants. 15W-40 is formulated to strict standards to deliver reliable engine performance in modern diesel type engines using natural gas as the primary fuel.
The key benefits include: High thermal and oxidation stability helps control sludge build-up and deposits. Reserve TBN neutralizes oxy acids and nitrates to reduce deposits. Shear stability reduces oil consumption and provides bearing wear and cylinder liner scuff protection. Effective detergency/dispersancy keeps engines cleaner Low levels of Zinc and Phosphorous help extend catalytic converter life.
