Since 1965, Tornus Oil has been helping tugs and towboats stay on the job in oceans, harbors, the Gulf and inland waterways. There's good reason why.

Look at the critical engine parts below, photo- graphed after extended periods of service. All were on Tornus Oil for 18,000 to 23,000 hours. All showed normal wear and were exceptionally clean and free of power-robbing deposits.

With Tornus, the oil gets dirty, the engine stays clean. And cleanliness is extremely important in keeping power up and fuel consumption down.

Caprinus® R Oil may help your fleet even more.

Engines in hard-working inland waterways towboats, (above), and ocean-going tugs (left) have their work cut out for them. So does the engine oil. High-dispersancy Tornus Oil protects main engines against wear, helps promote operating efficiency.
