HOUSTON
– ConocoPhillips Co. has introduced Triton ECT 5W40 Full Synthetic, a tier API
CJ-4 diesel engine oil. It is made from high-quality synthetic stocks and a
state-of-the-art advanced additive for use by customers who want enhanced
engine performance from equipment operating in a wide range of temperature and
service conditions, the company said.
This new
heavy-duty engine oil is designed for lubrication of modern low-emissions
diesel engines with after-treatment devices and can be used in older engines
specifying the previous categories of engine oils.
Triton
ECT 5W40 Full Synthetic will be available to ConocoPhillips Lubricants
customers who buy products under the Conoco, Phillips 66, and 76 Lubricants
brands, according to Reginald Dias, director, commercial products.

“Triton ECT 5W40 Full Synthetic has the potential to improve fuel economy
relative to a 5W40 oil, benefiting customers through reduced fuel usage.”
Triton
ECT 5W40 Full Synthetic 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.
