QUALITY BASE OILS SUPERB R&O ADDITIVES SPECIAL ANTI-FOAM AGENTS ANTI-WEAR CHEMISTRY WIDE OPERATING TEMPERATURE RANGE VERSATILE

NON-DETERGENT MOTOR OIL works very well to lubricate some compressors, hydraulics, bearings, shafts, journals, chains & cables, to name just a few applications.

The base oils used for NON-DETERGENT MOTOR OIL are a big part of the story. The base oils have been put through several refining steps to make them the finest available products for this application. The oils go through a solvent extraction process that removes undesirable characteristics from the oil. This prevents the formation of sludge, gum, and varnish. The oils then go through a hydro-treating step that improves the oxidation resistance of the oil, as well as improves their response to the quality additives used by Texas Refinery Corp. The oils are then dewaxed to give them extremely good all-around characteristics.

Non detergent motor oils normally do not have good quality additives or very much in the way of additives at all. However, Texas Refinery Corp. puts in a large amount of rust and oxidation inhibitors. This means the oil, after going through several processes to improve its oxidation characteristics, also has a good quantity of anti-oxidation chemicals, giving this product extremely long life. The rust inhibitor is also a high quality item in a rather sizeable amount. Since the oils have been put through the hydro-treating process, they respond very well to the rust inhibitor giving the product excellent anti-rust characteristics.

Another chemical added in sizeable quantity is the anti-foam additive. Foaming can play havoc with any oil. An oil with air trapped in it is easily compressed. This means metal-to-metal contact can take place and, of course, wear rates will go up. The Texas Refinery Corp. product uses special anti-foaming agents to get rid of any trapped air. This means the oil has a very high film strength and can prevent the metal-to-metal contact and wear that might take place with a lesser quality oil.

NON-DETERGENT MOTOR OIL also includes an anti-wear additive. This is a chemical long chain zinc compound which does double duty of anti-wear and anti-oxidation. This anti-wear additive is considered to be one of the top discoveries for anti-wear application of this type. It is a superior quality anti-wear additive and another reason this product is the cream of the crop. Be assured of lower wear rates using this product compared to competitors.

Other areas where the quality of Texas Refinery Corp. NON-DETERGENT MOTOR OIL shows its stuff is in its viscosity index. You can see in the specs the viscosity index is at least 95, and that is without any viscosity index improvers being added. This means the oils do not thin out under heat, nor will they thicken up under cold temperatures the way many lesser quality products do. All five weights have excellent pour points. This means NON-DETERGENT MOTOR OIL can operate in fairly cold temperatures and perform much better than the competition.

Obviously this product can be used as a non-detergent motor oil, but there are many other uses. For example, it can lubricate bearings, shafts and journals, gear cases (non EP), chains and cables, as well as many machine tools. It is quite often used as a general plant lubricant, even handling some hydraulic and compressor applications.
