Marine Lubricants (continued) ing lubricants which provide protec- tion against ash deposits and valve guttering. The lubricants offer high- temperature detergency and pro- vide a unique degree of high disper- sancy during intermittent, cyclic, and high-idling service, thereby controlling soot and minimizing sludge formation. As a result, their protection of slipper bushings and piston liners against wear is excel- lent. They also provide excellent valve train wear protection.

Mobilmar 100 Series oils are available in three SAE grades: 30, 40, and 50 to optimize film thick- ness. These oils meet the low-ash requirements of heavy-duty, two- cycle diesel engines.

Mobilgard 450 SAE 40 engine oil is formulated with high quality base stocks which provide low consump- tion characteristics, high tempera- ture oxidation resistance and ther- mal stability. These base stocks are combined with specially selected sta- ble additives resulting in an engine oil with well-balanced properties.

SHELL OIL

With the introduction of Caprin- us® UE Multigrade, 17 Total Base

Number (TBN) and Caprinus U

Multigrade (13 TBN), Shell Oil now offers two new products for tugs, workboats, coastal tankers, auxilia- ry power generators and other me- dium-speed diesel applications.

The 17 TBN Caprinus UE 20W- 40 is formulated for extended oil life in newer, low-oil-consumption en- gines such as GE's in severe service.

Caprinus U has its widest applica- tion in EMD diesels and GE engines in less severe service.

According to Shell, compared to the single grade oil now used, Ca- prinus multigrade oils can cut oil and fuel consumption. This was proven during an 18-month field testing using 16-cylinder EMD die- sels. Oil consumption reportedly dropped over 20 percent. In load- box and dynamometer tests con- ducted on two- and four-stroke cy- cle engines, Shell reports a fuel sav- ings of 1 percent.

Shell reports that less wear, bet- ter cold starts and extended drain intervals should also accompany in- stallation of Caprinus multigrade oils. When Caprinus multigrade oil is pitted against an SAE 40 grade,

Shell claims bearing weight loss is cut almost in half.

Almost all operators want to ex- tend drain intervals between sched- uled shutdowns for maintenance.

An oil's ability to do its job over the extended interval is usually limited by one of two things—the loss of grade due to viscosity increase or by exhaustion of capacity to absorb acid by-products of combustion, as measured by TBN. Regarding the viscosity increase, Shell's Shellvis viscosity index improver does an excellent job of grade retention. And the high alkalinity of Caprinus UE (TBN 17), which results from

Shell's proprietary detergent tech- nology, should furnish all the acid- absorbing capacity needed for long- er drain periods.

Operations with EMD diesels, where long-term TBN management is not as pivotal an issue, will also benefit. Thanks to Shell's detergent technology, Caprinus U Multigrade with a 13 TBN offers a TBN reten- tion comparable to many competi- tive 17 TBN products.
