Multi-Purpose Engine Lubricant for Mixed Fleet Operation

An engine lubricant was developed for diesel and gasoline engines covering all service and climatic conditions in Central Europe.

The performance spectrum and reasons for formulating a SAE 20W-40 multigrade with a viscosity of 4800 cP at 0°F are explained.

A review of the development and test work conducted includes studies indicating the lubricants behaviour in gear boxes, hydraulic systems and other off -highway arid construction equipment.

Typical examples of European mixed fleet together with service results obtained from the field are demonstrated.

Data compiled show stay-in-grade characteristics, excellent wear protection and engine cleanliness.

In comparison with SAE 20W-20 and SAE 30 monogrades oil consumption is reduced.
