  • Wear Protection

Optimum BN levels control cylinder liner wear effectively and protect bearings from corrosion. High-performance, antiwear additives provide excellent protection against adhesive wear for cams, camshaft and bearings. Taro® DP Series lubricants also provide a high degree of water tolerance and antifoam properties.

  • Detergent/Dispersant Properties

The unique detergent and dispersant additive system provide outstanding piston cleanliness as well as control of fuel contaminants. This results in extreme reduction of both “hot” (piston lands and grooves, piston undercrown, purifier preheaters) and “cold” (crankcase, cambox, rocker area, fuel pumps, purifier bowl) deposits.

  • Oxidation Stability

Oxidation inhibitors protect the oil against high thermal stresses, protect engine parts from corrosion and reduce undercrown deposits while promoting extended lubricant life.

  • Rust Prevention

Prevents corrosion of engine parts when the engine is not in operation.

  • Balanced Additive Combination

Provides minimum maintenance and downtime, long engine life and economical operating costs.    

  • Taro® DP Series lubricants are highperformance, medium- to high-BN, diesel engine oils for medium and high-speed trunk piston diesel engines.
  • Taro® 20 DP can also be used in combination with marine diesel or gas oil. Taro DP Series lubricants are blended from high-quality base oils and additives that provide an extra margin of protection against ring sticking, piston deposits and wear under the most severe operating conditions.
  • Taro® DP Series lubricants have very good viscosity control when used in severe high- temperature service, and their excellent BN retention characteristics prevent corrosive wear over long periods of operation.
  • Taro® DP Series lubricants provide a high degree of water tolerance and have good water separation and base retention properties.
  • Taro® DP Series lubricants are recommended for all types of trunk piston diesel engines burning 1) marine diesel oil or low sulphur heavy fuels with a sulphur content up to 2% [Taro® 20 DP]; or 2) residual fuels with a maximum sulphur level of 4% [Taro® 30 DP]. Taro® DP Series lubricants are approved by all major OEMs’
