Spectra R Oil

Automotive Diesel Engine Oil
Spectra Diesel Engine Oil R40
Spectra R Oils are high quality dedicated oils blended for use in high-speed naturally aspirated and moderately rated turbocharged units.

TYPICAL APPLICATIONS

  • Automotive diesel engines – Spectra R oils are advanced oils designed for the lubrication of units burning low sulphur, distillate fuels.
  • Gasoline engine performance – Although not specifically designed for four stroke gasoline engines they may be used for this purpose, in certain cases, e.g. old fleet with mixed engines.
  • Long distance operations – Long distance trucking and similar ‘constant speed’ on road operations

PERFORMANCE FEATURES

  • Controlled engine deposits – Spectra R oils incorporate an advanced detergent additive system to control piston deposits and maintain good standards of engine cleanliness.
  • Dependability – Spectra R oils have built a reputation for dependability over many years.
  • High TBN retention – Excellent Total Base Number (TBN) retention to ensure protection throughout the drain period.
  • Good engine protection – Enhanced protection against corrosion and wearPERFORMANCE FEATURES – Cont’
  • Oxidation resistant – High resistance to oxidation and thermal degradation ensuring long oil life and low tendency for deposit formation

PERFORMANCE SPECIFICATIONS

Diesel engine oils are blended to meet: API Service Classifications CF/SF

OIL DRAIN INTERVALS

The oil drain intervals as specified by the engine manufacturer should be adhered to, particularly where indirect fuel injection is used

HEALTH AND SAFETY

Spectra R oils are unlikely to present any significant health or safety hazard when properly used in the recommended application, and good standards of industrial and personal hygiene are maintained.

Avoid contact with skin. Use impervious gloves with used oil. After skin contact, wash immediately with soap and water.
