Elite Max 15W40 CK4
Balmerol Elite Max 15W-40, API CK-4 is a premium quality, high performance diesel engine oil recommended for heavy duty on road and off-highway vehicles operating under severe conditions. It is especially formulated with new generation additive technology to meet the needs of modern high output, low emission diesel engines designed to meet the Euro VI & BS VI emission requirements for vehicles fitted with exhaust after treatment devices like, DPF, SCR & EGR. It exhibits improved oxidation and shear stability and better aeration control, soot handling properties. It provides enhanced protection against engine wear, piston deposits, low and high temperature degradation. Especially suitable for engines running on Ultra Low Sulphur fuels
Available Size:
210L, 50L, 26L, 5L
Features & Benefits:
- Oxidation Protection: Improved oxidation performance ensuring longer oil life.
- Wear Protection: Outstanding cylinder, bearing and ring wear. Minimized cross head, injector screw weight loss.
- Oil consumption control: Demonstrated excellent oil consumption control in engine tests. Longer Oil Drain Interval (ODI).
- Deposit Protection: Excellent piston cleanliness and engine deposit reduction.
- Better TBN retention: Excellent TBN retention.
- DPF Protection: Low SAPS.
Applications / Recommendations:
- Balmerol Elite Max 15W-40, API CK-4 is recommended for use in high speed four stroke modern high output, low emission engines including those with Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) and engine after treatment devices like SCR & DPF. Recommended for use in all modern diesel engines which are fitted with latest generation after treatment devices to meet Euro VI and BS VI emission norms. Also recommended for other on road, off- highway equipment, tractors and other farm equipment engines requiring to meet Euro IV and BS IV emission norms.
