DELO GOLD ULTRA

Typical Characteristics

Delo® Gold Ultra is a high-quality, heavy-duty diesel crankcase lubricant. Manufactured from high-quality base oils and compounded with additives, Delo Gold Ultra provides good lubrication for turbo-charged, high-speed diesel engines under severe operating conditions. It contains detergent/dispersant, antioxidation and anti-wear additives, and meets the API service classification CI-4.

Delo Gold Ultra SAE 15W-40 is recommended for use in heavy-duty (turbo-charged), high-speed diesel engines operating under very severe conditions where an API CI-4 type oil is required. This grade is especially recommended for emergency equipment onboard seagoing vessels such as lifeboat engines and motor-driven fire pumps and emergency compressors.

• Mixed fleets of diesel engines (high speed, four-stroke, turbocharged or naturally aspirated)

• Four-stroke gasoline engines in mixed fleets of diesel and gasoline engines

• Commercial road transport

• Off-highway vehicles and plant

• Agricultural tractors and farm machinery

• High speed diesel engines in marine service (e.g., fishing boat, river transport)

• Generator sets

• Mobile hydraulic systems (where oil type and viscosity are appropriate)

• Diesel engines utilizing diesel fuels with up to 35% biodiesel (B35)*

Note: * Based on actual field trial data. When using Biodiesel blended fuel meting ASTM D7467 (B6 – B20) or equivalent and higher blends when blended with B100 as per ASTM D6751 or equivalent. When using >B6 biodiesel it is critical to monitor the engine oil level and performance. Refer OEM recommendation for oil selection and drain intervals when using biodiesel.

1. Oxidation Stability & Deposit Control

Minimal crownland deposits and good oxidation stability may help minimize oil consumption.

2. Corrosion Protection

Good control of deposits and wear may optimize the engine overhaul intervals.

3. Anti-Wear Properties

High detergency can provide good deposit and sludge control in the piston ring belt area.

4. Minimizing Operating Costs

Can prevent unscheduled downtime by providing efficient dispersion of soot particles. The protection against soot related wear and deposit can also prevent excessive viscosity increase and filter plugging.
