Gulf Veritas DPO.

When Marco Polo came here in the thirteenth century, Oriental ways and things were new and exotic to Western man.

Hong Kong is still more East than West. But shipping companies know they can find Gulf's high quality marine lubricants and service there. As they can all over the world.

Gulf Veritas DPO oils are among the reasons for this reputation. They are highest quality, alkaline detergent lubricating oils developed by Gulf marine experts for use in medium and high speed diesel engines burning distillate and marine diesel fuels. Engineers value Veritas DPO oils for their excellent lubricating properties.

Gulf Veritas DPO oils are formulated to a Mil-L-2104B level of performance. They have the alkaline qualities necessary to neutralize the acidic products of combustion, as well as the dispersant detergent qualities needed to maintain a high degree of cylinder, piston, bearing and crankcase cleanliness. A careful balance of corrosion, oxidation and foam inhibitors have been added for additional protection under all service conditions.
