Taro® 50 XL

Marine Engine Oil

Taro® 50 XL

Taro® 50 XL is a very high alkaline reserve (50 Base Number) trunk piston engine oil (TPEO) specifically designed for use in the newer generation, high specific output medium-speed trunk piston engines fitted with antipolishing rings burning high sulfur residual fuels (up to 4.5% sulfur). 

Suitable Applications
  • Wear Protection
    High alkalinity 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 50 XL also provides a high degree of water tolerance and antifoam protection.
  • Detergent-Dispersant Properties
    Keeps crankcase and oil control rings clean. Prevents deposit formation throughout the engine. Reduces lube oil filter blockage. Effectively handles insolubles.Oxidation Stability
  • Oxidation Stability
    Oxidation inhibitors protect the oil against thermal stresses, protect engine parts from corrosion and reduce undercrown deposits while promoting extended lubricant life.
  • Taro® 50 XL is a very high alkaline reserve (50 Base Number) trunk piston engine oil (TPEO) specifically designed for use in the newer generation, high specific output medium-speed trunk piston engines fitted with antipolishing rings burning high sulfur residual fuels (up to 4.5% sulfur).
  • Taro® 50 XL is particularly suited to high load factor operations in marine or stationary service and where heavy residual fuels with high asphaltene content (vis broken residue) are used.
  • Large medium-speed trunk piston engines fitted with anti-polishing rings
  • Medium-speed trunk piston engines including latest designs in stationary power generation, especially in high load factor operations
  • Medium-speed trunk piston engines in marine service
