Description:

TLX Plus is fpmulated using high quality base oils, and supersedes the previous TLX Series by incorporating a unique formulation of additive technology systems designed to overcome the adverse conditions seen in low oil consumptions engines operating with varying heavy fuel qualities.

Application:

TLX Plus is a range of engine oils developed for use in medium speed diesel engines in marine propulsion and power generation applications.

TLX Plus is available with 20 ,30 ,40, or 50 BN, and SAE 30 and 40 viscosity grades to suit differing fuel sulpher contents and engine builders' requirements. Approved grades of BN 55 and higher can also be made available on demand.

Features & Benefits:

Extensive severe field testing in heavy fuel burning engines has confirmed that TLX Plus is suitable for use in the most demanding highly rated turbocharged medium speed diesel engines. It excels in all the performance requirements demanded of a truly high quality lubricant:-

• Exceeds API CF specification
• Superior wear performance
• Improved thermal and anti-oxidation stablity
• Anti-rust against salt-water (As tested by IP 135B)
• High load carrying properties of FZG 11 for anti-wear performance.
• Excellent anti-foam properties
• Tolerant water contamination
• Cleand and protects the engine whilst performing well in used oil analysis trends (by improved ability to release dirt and water in purifier centrifuges).

The main advantage of TLX Plus is its ability to overcome the problems experienced by conventional oils in low oil consumption engines operating on low quality heavy fuels and with possible fuel contamintion of the crankase oil.

Fuel contaminations can result in the formation of black asphaltenic sludge in the crankcase, deposits in piston scraper rings, ring belts, and critically in the piston cooling cavities. TLX Plus has a significantly improved capability to handle asphaltenic contaminants, which will lead to cleaner engines and much reduced piston deposits to achieve safely extended overhauls inervals. It is significantly advanced in its piston ring beltand under-crown cleanliness performance.

The TLX Plus range includes grades of 50BN and higher for use when rapid base number depletion is experienced in low oil consumption engines. These particular grades will further increase the time between oil drain intervals.
