| El Mar LA4 EXD is a premium quality, low-ash, dispersant-detergent gas engine oil designed for use in high-output 4-stroke cycle and some 2-stroke cycle natural gas engines operating under severe conditions. It is particularly recommended for use in stoichiometric and lean-burn gas engines fueled by natural gas or LPG, which typically are found on crude oil and gas transmission pipelines, electrical power generators, gas compressors, irrigation water pumps and well drilling rigs. El Mar LA4 EXD is formulated with high-quality Group II base stocks and additive technology developed to meet the rigorous lubrication demands of modern, fuel-efficient, low-emission gas engines. It provides outstanding resistance to oil oxidation and nitration, and has a well-balanced alkaline reserve (TBN) to neutralize acids over long service intervals. It protects against ring and liner wear, minimizes the formation of sludge and piston deposits for outstanding engine cleanliness, and protects against corrosion. It also protects against valve stem deposits and valve recession, resulting in reduced maintenance and extended engine life. The additive package has low phosphorus content to meet the requirements of gas engines equipped with catalysts for exhaust after-treatment. El Mar LA4 EXD has demonstrated the capability to extend oil service intervals without compromising engine performance or component life. The use of high-quality, low-volatility base stocks helps reduce oil consumption, minimize exhaust system deposits and reduce the amount o f make-up oil needed, thereby resulting in lower operating costs. Applications: - Turbocharged, lean-burn and naturally aspirated 4-stroke cycle and some 2-stroke cycle natural gas engines where the manufacturer specifies a low-ash gas engine oil meeting API CF or API CD performance requirements
- Some gas engines burning landfill gas containing minimal levels of hydrogen sulfide
