Description:

Petro-Canada SENTRON™ LD 8000 is a premium performance, long life natural gas engine oil (NGEO) specially formulated to lubricate natural gas engines and compressors. 

SENTRON LD 8000’s extended drain intervals can mean lower maintenance costs, less used oil to dispose of and a more efficient and profitable operation. 

SENTRON LD 8000’s exceptional performance is especially important in the severe service conditions common in compression, power generation and combined heat and power applications. Its outstanding anti-wear protection helps to minimize polish and wear of cylinder liners and wear of piston rings, while helping to reduce carbon buildup.

That can mean:

• Longer service intervals

• Cleaner engines with less wear

• Less downtime

• Less backfiring

• Fewer service calls

SENTRON LD 8000 is formulated with Petro-Canada’s pure HT Severely Hydrocracked base oils and highly advanced additive technology to help deliver a combination of extended oil life, and excellent control of engine deposits in many applications. Offering exceptional protection against wear and corrosion, SENTRON helps provide worryfree operation, increased engine durability and engine life, which can lead to a reduction in overall operating costs.

Features & Benefits:

• Revolutionary extended drain intervals can reduce maintenance and provide savings:

• Field tests show that SENTRON LD 8000 extends oil drain intervals by up to 300%* in Caterpillar G3500TALE engines, in a natural gas compression application in comparison to the leading global conventional competitor. This trial was completed with pipeline gas quality, under high load > 90% conditions. The extended drain interval helps to:

• Reduce downtime and maximize production availability.

• Lower operating costs by reducing maintenance costs.

• Increase uptime, leading to a reliable business operation.

• Longer oil life provides long-lasting equipment protection:

• Exceptional resistance to breakdown caused by oxidation and nitration.

• Outstanding capability to neutralize acids through greater Total Base Number (TBN) retention. The greater the TBN retention, the greater the ability of the oil to neutralize acid, extend drain life and inhibit wear, corrosion and deposits.

• Helps extend engine life by reducing varnish, sludge and carbon deposits as well as by inhibiting wear and corrosion.

• Helps improve engine performance.

• Outstanding anti-wear/anti-scuff protection helps to:

• Reduce wear on piston rings, cylinder liners and bearings, prolonging engine life and reducing oil consumption.

• Control and minimize valve recession.

• Reduce operating and maintenance costs.

• Keeps engine parts clean by:

• Minimizing ring zone and valve stem deposits

• Improving engine lubrication by maintaining clean oil-ways.

• Maximizing the time between major engine overhauls.

• Preventing corrosion

• Inventory consolidation:

• Specially formulated to enhance nitration control, SENTRON LD 8000 is suitable in both low and high nitrating engines, thus allowing the consolidation of products which apply to only one type of nitrating engine.

• SENTRON LD 8000 goes a step beyond SENTRON LD 5000 in terms of nitration control.

Applications:

SENTRON LD 8000 is a premium performance engine oil specially formulated to lubricate industrial combustion engines running on natural gas as well as pre-treated sewage/bio-gas and selective pre-treated process gases. It is suitable for use in 4-stroke engines in both gas compression and power generation applications. SENTRON LD 8000’s 0.52% sulphated ash content means that this product fits within the low ash OEM specification.
