Gulfco Fleet 15W-40
High Performance Automotive Gas Engine Oil
Gulfco Fleet is heavy-duty medium ash gas engine oil specially developed for use in modern, high-output trucks and buses using Liquid or Compressed Natural Gas (LNG/ CNG) and Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG). It is formulated with high quality base stocks and performance additives specially developed for gas engines to provide excellent engine cleanliness, wear protection and overall performance. The advanced formulation of this oil provides excellent protection against oxidation and nitration and minimises combustion chamber deposits. It meets the specification of major mobile natural gas engine manufacturers including Daimler, Volvo and MAN.
Features & Benefits
- Excellent oxidation and nitration resistance minimises sludge build-up & deposits and increases oil/filter life
- Superior anti-wear property provides enhanced valve train wear protection
- Optimised ash prolongs life of valves/ spark plugs while ensuring the detergency / TBN requirements
- Effective detergency and dispersancy keeps engine clean
- Extended drain capability due to relatively high TBN
- Very good TBN retention provides protection against corrosive wear by neutralising acids
Applications
- Heavy duty trucks and buses using LNG, CNG and LPG and requiring MAN M 3271-1 and/ or MB 226.9 quality fluids
- Buses and trucks fitted with engines designed to run on 100% CNG but requiring relatively high TBN formulations in order to adequately control deposits and wear i.e MB and MAN engines
- Other spark ignition natural gas engines requiring API CF-4 quality oils
- Light-duty CNG vehicles requiring superior quality oil or operating under severe service conditions
