PRODUCT CHARACTERISTICS GulfSea Power MDO is a premium quality trunk piston engine lubricant designed to be used in medium speed 4-stroke diesel engines operating on distillate fuels or Marine Diesel fuels.
Its formulation uses most modern additive technology and its properties contribute to the engine superior cleanliness & protection. GulfSea Power MDO extended life properties will also contribute to a better engine condition and monitoring thus leading to cost savings
GulfSea Power MDO is available in SAE 30 & 40 viscosity grades with a TBN (Total Base Number) ranging from 12 to 20.
APPLICATIONS GulfSea Power MDO is recommended for medium speed engines used in marine and power generation operating on distillate fuels and/or marine diesel fuels. It is specially recommended for older engines where liner-lacquer is not a potential problem. GulfSea Power MDO is formulated for the lubrication of 4-stroke main propulsion vessels engines as well as power generation engines or vessels’ auxiliary engines. GulfSea Power MDO 3012 & 4012 have a TBN of 12 and are adequate for the engines operating solely on distillate fuels with a sulphur content below 1%. GulfSea Power MDO 3015 & 4015 are suitable for the modern engines operating on distillate fuels or marine diesel fuels with a sulphur content less than 1.5%. GulfSea Power MDO 3020 & 4020 are recommended for the modern engines operating on distillate fuels or marine diesel fuels with a sulphur content up to 2%. GulfSea Power MDO is also recommended for general lubrication of shipboard equipment where more specifically formulated lubricants are not required and where a SAE 30 or SAE 40 viscosity is recommended.
TECHNICAL PROPERTIES Superior detergency properties ensure optimal piston and crankcase cleanliness Improved anti-wear properties provide excellent engine wear control and good performance leading to a reduction in maintenance costs Excellent thermo-oxidative stability retards BN depletion and allows for extended retention of correct viscosity, leading to significant costs savings The alkaline additive reserves provide a safety margin that prevents the engine parts from attack by corrosive combustion products and guarantees the smooth operation of the engine Good demulsibility characteristics ensure water separation and lead to trouble free operation Special rust & corrosion inhibitors prevent corrosion of engine parts
FEATURES & BENEFITS
Superior formulation detergency maintains the engine cleanliness The base number indicates the level of alkalinity reserves available to ensure a good safety margin for engine protection from corrosive wear, with distillate fuels containing up to 2% sulphur. Excellent anti-oxidation properties provides engine protection against piston, cylinder and bearing wear.
Savings – Long life Lubricant Anti-wear properties associated with BN depletion slow down properties enables GulfSea Power MDO to perform longer without topping up, guaranteeing maintenance significant savings.
TYPICAL PROPERTIES
RECOMMENDED FOR DEEP SEA FISHING VESSELS
GulfSea Power MDO is specially recommended for 4-stroke engines Open Water fishing vessels operating on Distillate fuels or marine Diesel Fuels, which engine load change frequently (Full speed & idle running).
GulfSea Power MDO brings extended performance and flexibility for these Deep Sea fishing vessels engines that require precise & quick maneuverability, full speed keeping for long periods and low speed loading for long periods too.
