Valvoline Premium Blue Plus

Transcription

1 What is? Valvoline is a benchmark in diesel engine oil technology, specially produced to lubricate the modern diesel engines meeting latest emission norms operating under a wide variety of service conditions. Advanced product technology of offers longer engine life, extended drain capability and keeps the engine operating at peak performance all the time. Also, is suitable for engines fitted with exhaust gas recirculation (EGR). What specifications do this meet? virtually meets and exceeds almost all global heavy duty diesel engine oil specifications such as API CI-4 Plus / CI-4 / CH-4 / CG-4 / CF-4 / CF/ SL, ACEA E7-08, Global DHD- 1, Mercedes Benz 228.3/228.1, Volvo VDS-3/VDS-2/VDS, MTU Oil Category 2/1, DDC 93K214, Caterpillar ECF-2/1a, MAN 3275, MAN 271 and few others. But more than the specifications, the has been extensively tested under extreme field condition and is FIELD PROVEN. Valvoline Premium Plus have been tested at various locations across the country in most of the applications like, Long Haul Trucks, Tippers, City stop and go Bus application. The trials were Valvoline Technical Services Page 1

2 conducted over a long period to cover all weather conditions. Results show an excellent field performance in terms of viscosity stability over increased soot content which was the major reason forcing oil change. 100 in Cst Valvoline Premium Plus Performance Vs API CH- 4 Category Soot % Competition API CH 4 Valvoline API CH 4 Valvoline Premium Plus FIELD PROVEN Even at high levels of soot, change in viscosity of is minimal. In fact, it has also been rigorously tested in actual engine in R&D Center of leading engine manufacturer on an engine conforming to latest emission norms.

3 Is there any extra feature in this oil? Yes, possesses following extra features: 1. Outstanding Soot Handling Capability Soot is a by product of diesel engine combustion process. The soot particles can attach to each other (soot agglomeration) and form large particles, which will lead to increase in oil viscosity. Increase in viscosity of the oil can lead to increased resistance to flow preventing the lubricant from reaching critical engine parts. The agglomerated soot can also block the oil filter leading to drop in oil pressure. Increased viscosity, drop in pressure and agglomerated soot catalyze engine wear and result in reduced engine life. Standard dispersant technology may not effectively disperse the soot causing a steep increase in viscosity. The advanced technology in is a patented blend of additives that reduces soot related viscosity increase and prevent engine wear. Our advanced dispersant technology keeps the soot well dispersed in the oil for a longer time preventing viscosity increase due to soot agglomeration. maintains engine oil viscosity and reduces soot related engine wear leading to extended engine life and oil life. 2. Excellent Corrosion Protection A high temperature corrosion bench test ((HTCBT)) is used to evaluate the lubricant s ability to prevent corrosion of copper and lead components used in engine bearings. As shown in the graphs below, unique additive technology of provide exceptional protection against both copper and lead corrosion, and enable longer life of engine components. In fact, Valvoline Premium Blue Plus provides excellent protection to turbo charger bearings extending turbo charger life. Valvoline Technical Services Page 3

Enhanced deposit control The modern Low emission engines run hotter than ever. Higher engine temperatures lead to accelerated deposit formation in the Piston. Excessive Piston deposits can result in loss of Power and High Oil consumption. The advance technology of provides excellent deposit control on Piston Crown Land, Piston grooves and Piston Rings even under extreme driving conditions.

Excellent Thermal & Chemical Stability Valvoline is manufactured from severely hydroprocessed Group II base oils which have high Viscosity Index, excellent oxidation, thermal and chemical stability.

Potentially can easily provide 50% extra oil life. However one must follow OEM recommendation since oil change intervals are optimized by OEM s and is designed to provide maximum protection under a wide variety of conditions. Valvoline offers POST Progressive Oil Sample Testing (Used Oil Analysis Program) which can support and establish extension in oil life. To know more about POST visit In which application can be used? is highly recommended for use in modern low emission diesel engines for on-road and off-road applications like long haul trucks, tractor trailers, tippers, buses, construction and mining equipments. It is recommended by Tata Motors Limited for their vehicles fitted with 6BT 5.9L BS-III mechanical engines. Almost all heavy commercial vehicles produced in India meeting BSIII emission norms will require advanced technology for adequate lubrication and improved engine protection. Can be used in older vehicles? Yes. meets API CI -4 Plus specification which is fully backward compatible and can be used in older engines too. Valvoline Technical Services Page 5
