Description Castrol RLX Super 40 is a 5th Generation (LMOA) zinc and chlorine free engine crankcase lubricant which has been specifically designed for the lubrication of diesel propulsion, diesel electric and stationary power generation installations where a zinc-free lubricant is specified.
Application Castrol RLX Super 40 is formulated to meet the requirements of engines manufactured by General Motors Electromotive Division (GM-EMD), General Electric (GE) and ALCO. This grade is suitable for all engines fitted with silver bearings, particularly those used in Marine and Offshore power generation sets.
Features / Benefits Optimum balance of detergency and dispersancy reduces ring sticking and engine deposits, resulting in cleaner engines that maximise operating performance. With extended oil drain intervals, engine downtime is further reduced. Selected additive system provides excellent protection against wear and acid corrosion resulting in increased engine component life. Exceeds detergency requirements of API CF and CF-2. High viscosity index base oil allows control of oil consumption and maintains excellent oil film between bearings at high operating temperatures. Castrol RLX Super 40 is fully compatible with other 5th generation (LMOA) lubricants.
Approval Status API CF / CF-2 Conforms to the requirements of `Generation 5` for GM-EMD and `Generation 4LL` for GE. Meets the oil recommendations for Caterpillar 3600 series engines. Suitable for all ALCO engines.
