equipment. |
|
PRO-SPEC®
SINGLE-VISCOSITY MOTOR OIL
is designed to handle heavy duty equipment both on and
off-road. It also handles the requirements of both
gasoline and diesel equipment. This group of straight
weight motor oils is the ultimate protection needed to
extend equipment life, reduce down-time, and make the
equipment more cost effective. |
Superior Base Stock
These oils are made from low sulphur, sweet paraffin base crude
oils. The solvent extracted neutrals used to manufacture these
high quality motor oils go through several refining steps to
make them suitable for this application. The solvent extracted
neutrals are of a minimum 95 viscosity index (VI). The neutral
oils go through a solvent extraction process that removes heavy
undesirable substances that might lead to sludge, gum, or
varnish under heated conditions. The solvent extracted oils then
go through a hydro-treating process that improves the oil's
oxidation resistance and their response to the high quality
additives used by Texas Refinery Corp. One more step, called
dewaxing, is used to improve the oil's cold temperature
capabilities as well as improve their film strengths when
temperatures get higher.
Offers Thick Oil Film Protection
First and foremost, PRO-SPEC®
SINGLE-VISCOSITY MOTOR OIL is
intended to keep metal parts separated from each other. Since
even the finest of metal surfaces has minute projections, some
contact always occurs, producing what is called normal wear. It
prevents serious contact by forming a film which is thick enough
to keep certain engine parts entirely separated most of the
time. The thick film of say, SAE 30 or SAE 40 in long term usage
is much better at preventing wear than SAE 5W/30, SAE 10W/30,
SAE 10W/40, and even SAE 15W/40 since multi-viscosity oils tend
to shear down, in use, to much lighter weight oils that do not
provide "thick" films.
Increased Anti-Wear
PRO-SPEC® SINGLE-VISCOSITY MOTOR OIL
meets the latest gasoline (SJ) specification as well as the
latest diesel (CF) specification for single viscosity oils. This
means one oil can be used in a mixed fleet to handle almost all
types of engines. Texas Refinery Corp. accomplishes this feat by
using two different types of high quality zinc anti-wear
protection. One of the zinc compounds is activated by low
temperatures for the gasoline engines. The other zinc compound
is activated by higher temperatures for protection of the diesel
engines. The finest of zinc additives are used for anti-wear
protection. A large percentage of anti-wear additive is placed
in the PRO-SPEC®
SINGLE-VISCOSITY MOTOR OILS. In
fact, 0.12% zinc is the minimum requirement for this oil.
Exceeds The Challenge
Meets and/or exceeds the latest gasoline engine oil
specification SJ, as well as the latest diesel engine
specifications for single viscosity oils CF. This oil is a
tremendous improvement over the previous specifications. For
example, the Buick engine sequence III E test shows
PRO-SPEC® MOTOR OIL
provides from two to eight times as much
protection as many commercial engine oils against oil ring
deposits. In addition, PRO-SPEC®
SINGLE-VISCOSITY MOTOR OIL doubles
the valve train wear protection over many engine oils and also
provides a 60% improvement in sludge control over many engine
oils.
High TBN Oil
Has a
high total base number of 15 Plus. This high TBN level indicates
how well this oil fights acids and their corrosive effects. Many
commercial lubricants on the market have a TBN level from only 6
to 10.
There
are many different ways to boost the total base number of an
oil. Texas Refinery Corp.'s
PRO-SPEC® MOTOR OILS
received most of their alkalinity from the detergent value of
the oil. Of course this is the most expensive way to go and it
is certainly the most effective as well. High detergency TBN
additives are more effective at controlling the overall effects
of in creased soot loading of the oil. The high total base
number end result is longer life and extended drain intervals.
Provides Protection Plus
Detroit Diesel has indicated they are against products with a
high ash content, but they allow a lot of exceptions. The higher
ash content of Texas Refinery Corp.
PRO-SPEC® MOTOR OILS
does not cause a problem in Detroit Diesel engines. As a matter
of fact, PRO-SPEC® MOTOR
OILS have proven to be beneficial.
Those benefits are as follows: (1) Increased engine cleanliness,
(2) Reduced engine wear, (3) A substantial reduction in piston
and piston ring deposits, (4) A substantial reduction in piston
ring breakage, (5) A more complete neutralization of the
corrosive acids produced during the combustion process.
Just pick the
proper viscosity as recommended by Detroit Diesel for the
operating conditions and you will be pleasantly surprised by the
excellent service given. |
