Taro® 30 DP

Marine Engine Oil

Taro® DP Series

• Taro DP Series lubricants are high-performance, medium- to high-BN, diesel engine oils for medium and high-speed trunk piston diesel engines. 

• 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. 

Suitable Applications

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.
