Benefits
The excellent additive package with high TBN in SPC MERLION 4000 SERIES provide the following benefits:
- Keeps pistons and piston ring grooves against lacquer, varnish and carbon deposits.
- Resists the formation of sludge in the oil.
- Good antiwear properties to prevent premature engine failure.
- Good anticorrosion properties.
- Good antifoam properties.
- Good demulsibility properties.
- Good detergency and dispersancy properties.
Application
SPC MERLION 4000 SERIES are recommended for trunk piston diesel engines for ocean-going marine vessels, supply boats, tug boats, trawlers and oilrigs using medium and high sulphur fuel. It is also recommended for on shore stationary diesel engines operating on high sulphur diesel fuel including diesel engines operating on high sulphur fuel where alkaline reserve is required to compensate for low oil top-up.
