Product Description
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
Taro® 20 DP are high performance, high alkalinity diesel engine oils for medium and high speed trunk piston diesel engines burning residual fuels with a maximum sulphur content up to 2%. Taro 20 DP can also be used in combination with gas oil or marine diesel oil (MDO).
CUSTOMER BENEFITS
Taro 20 DP deliver value through:
• Wear protection — High BN levels control cylinder liner wear effectively and protects bearings from
corrosion. High performance antiwear additives provide excellent protection against adhesive wear
for cams, camshaft and bearings.
• Excellent foaming and water tolerance —
Provide a high degree of water tolerance and antifoam protection.
• Detergent/Deposit Properties — Keep crankcases and control oil rings clean. Prevents
deposit formation throughout the engine. Reduces lube oil filter blockage. Effectively handles
insolubles.
• Oxidation stability — Oxidation inhibitors protect the oil against high thermal stresses, protect engine
parts from corrosion and reduce undercrown deposits, while promoting extended lubricant life.
• Rust protection — Prevent corrosion of engine parts when the engine is not in operation.
• Balanced additive components — Provide minimal maintenance and down-time, long engine
life, and economical operating costs.
FEATURES
Taro 20 DP are blended from high quality base oils and additives that provide an extra margin of protection
against ring sticking, piston deposits and wear under severe operating conditions.
Taro 20 DP have very good viscosity control when used in severe high temperature service and its excellent
alkalinity retention characteristics prevent corrosive wear over long periods of operation.
The unique detergent and dispersant additive system promotes outstanding piston cleanliness as well as
superb heavy fuel related contaminants handling characteristics. This helps reduce both “hot” (piston
lands and grooves, piston undercrown, purifier heaters) and “cold” (crankcase, cambox, rocker area,
fuel pumps, purifier bowl) deposits. The oil provides a high degree of water tolerance, good water separability
and base retention properties.
APPLICATIONS
Taro 20 DP are recommended for trunk piston diesel engines burning MDO or low sulfur heavy fuels with a
sulfur content up to 2%.
Taro 20 DP meet the requirements of most major marine diesel engine manufacturers.
