An advanced series of monograde high-performance diesel engine crankcase oils formulated to counter the toughest conditions found in diesel engines, from naturally aspirated to older turbocharged units, used in contractor, agricultural and commercial automotive vehicles on and/or off the road. They have excellent resistance to bore polishing, a high level of wear protection, efficiently control sludge and deposits providing superior engine cleanliness at extended oil drain intervals. The Dieselube 540 is suited for Detroit Diesel two stroke engines, in particular the 149 Series Engines requiring a lubricant sulphated ash level of maximum 0.9% by mass. The low sulphated ash level minimises exhaust valve and inlet port deposits while greatly reducing liner and ring face scuffing.
