Locomax 20W-40 R

LOCOMAX 20W-40 R

RAILROAD DIESEL ENGINE OIL

Description:

LOCOMAX 20W-40 R is designed for medium speed railroad diesel engines typically built prior to 1970.

Applications:

LOCOMAX 20W-40 R has been specifically formulated for the older diesel locomotive where the use of Zinc Free additives was not a prerequisite of the engine builders. Unlike monograde engine oils, LOCOMAX 20W-40 R allows easier starting and the maintenance of higher oils pressures throughout the working day and / or higher loadings. Due to the controlled viscosity across the working temperature range, governor issues during starting will be greatly reduced and remove the need for higher viscosity oils which can be troublesome when cold.

Typical Engines:

English Electric 6KT, 8SVT, 12SVT, 12CSVT, 16SVT

Gardner 6L3, 8L3

Paxman 6RPHL, 6YJXL, 16YHX

MAN L12V18/21S

Sulzer 6LDA28, 6LDA28-B, 8LDA28

Leyland 680

LOCOMAX 20W-40 R must not be used in Deltic, engines – Copper crown detachment - engines containing Silver bearings – corrosive wear - or LMOA generation 4, 5 and 6 engines.
