ConocoPhillips Introduces Heavy Duty Engine Oil
HOUSTON – ConocoPhillips Company, the fourth largest U.S.
lubricants supplier, announced the introduction of Kendall SHP Diesel
5W40 Full Synthetic, a premium tier API CJ-4 diesel engine oil, made from high
quality synthetic stocks and a state-of-the-art advanced additive technology
for use by customers who want enhanced engine performance in equipment
operating in a wide range of temperature and service conditions. The new
heavy duty engine oil is designed for lubrication of modern low emissions
diesel engines with after-treatment devices and back serviceable for use in
older engines specifying the previous categories of engine oils, according to
Reginald Dias, Director, Commercial Products, ConocoPhillips Company.
“We are pleased to offer our customers a new wide-grade full
synthetic diesel engine oil that combines advantages of the synthetic
stocks and performance of an advanced additive to deliver undiminished
protection for heavy duty engines operating in extreme applications that range
from high to low in temperature and service,” says Dias. “Kendall SHP Diesel
5W40 Full Synthetic has the potential to improve the fuel economy relative to a
15W40 oil, benefiting customers through reduced fuel usage. As the
performance requirements and market conditions elevate the demand for superior
quality heavy duty engine oils, ConocoPhillips Company is dedicated to offering
newer products that meet industry specifications while exceeding our customers’
needs.”
Kendall SHP 5W40 Diesel Full Synthetic provides excellent
soot control, wear protection and low temperature pumpability for engines
operating in extreme service conditions. This improved engine oil meets
lubrication requirements of engines compliant with 2007 low emissions regulations
and meets heavy duty engine oil specifications for Caterpillar, Cummins,
Detroit Diesel, Mack, and VOLVO.
Its unique features provide the following performance
benefits:
- Improved soot handling: helps prevent oil thickening
and reduces filter blockage and deposits.
- Increased oxidation stability: maintains oil quality by resisting
oxidative breakdown.
- Better low temperature viscometrics: ensures rapid oil flow for proper
lubrication at low temperatures and prevents wear at start-up.
- Low lead corrosion: prolongs bearing life by prevention of lead
corrosion.
- Wear protection: reduces wear on critical parts and extends equipment
life.
Kendall SHP Diesel 5W40 Full Synthetic is the latest
addition to the ConocoPhillips’ existing API CJ-4 heavy duty engine oil line,
and is available now in bulk and drums.
“With the introduction of Kendall SHP Diesel 5W40 Full
Synthetic, ConocoPhillips Company continues to be a leader in the heavy duty
lubricants industry,” says Dias.
