Gulf TEC 5W-30
Gulf TEC is semi-synthetic passenger car engine oil designed for modern, high-output, multi valve, turbocharged & supercharged gasoline powered passenger cars and diesel powered light duty vehicles. It is available in three different viscosity grades viz. SAE 5W-30, SAE 10W-30 & SAE 10W-40. While all the grades are developed to exceed the API (American Petroleum Institute) performance requirements of SL level.
Features & Benefits
- Superior dispersants provide excellent control over soot induced oil thickening
- Better thermo-oxidative stability minimises deposits & sludge build-up facilitating extended oil life
- Active cleaning agents provide engine cleanliness.
- Excellent antiwear technology minimises engine wear and thereby reduce maintenance cost
- Special rust inhibitors retard the formation of rust & corrosion in critical engine parts
- Good low temperature fluidity assists in easy cold starts
Applications
- SAE 5W-30 & SAE 10W-30 grades are recommended for use in high performance gasoline powered passenger cars requiring oils.
- SAE 10W-40 grade is recommended for high performance, multi valve, turbocharged & supercharged gasoline and diesel powered passenger cars and light duty vehicles requiring API SL level oils
