Multigrade diesel engine oil is a type of lubricant specifically formulated for diesel engines, which provides effective protection and performance across a wide range of temperatures.
This multigrade diesel engine oil provides robust protection, enhancing the lifespan of critical engine components in both turbocharged and non-turbocharged diesel engines. It is an ideal solution for a variety of vehicles including heavy duty commercial vehicles, and others variety of diesel engines.
Example: 10W40 used to describe the oil thickness. “W” stands for winter.
10 denotes the oil's viscosity at low temperatures.
In cold climates, a lower oil viscosity number is crucial, as it indicates a thinner oil that flows readily, ensuring easier engine starts
40 denotes the oil's viscosity at high temperatures.
A higher oil viscosity number results in a thicker lubricating film, effectively separating and protecting engine components.
Automotive Lubricantstypes are mentioned below.
- Mineral Oils: These oils are commonly used due to their cost-effectiveness and availability. It provide good lubrication but will not perform well at high temperatures.
- Synthetic Oils: These oils are designed to perform in superior performance, especially in extreme conditions. They provide better lubrication, thermal stability, and oxidation resistance.
- Semi-Synthetic Oil:A blend of mineral and synthetic oils, these oils offer a balance of performance and cost-effectiveness.
Additives: Various additives are mixed with base oils to improve the lubricant's performance:
- Anti-wear agents
- Viscosity
- Anti-Corrosion
- Anti-Foaming
Benefits:
- Fuel Efficiency
- Improve Engine life
- Temperature Resistant
Application:
- Passenger Application
- Commercial Application
- Off-Highway Application
- Heavy Duty Application
