- 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 under crown, 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 under crown 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.
