HDAX 7200 Low Ash Gas Engine Oil
Categories: Engine Oils - Gas Engines

HDAX® 7200 Low Ash Gas Engine Oil is formulated with premium base stocks which contain extremely low sulfur, nitrogen, and aromatics. It uses a proprietary, premium additive package containing ashless dispersants, oxidation inhibitors, metallic detergents and a metallic anti-wear agents. HDAX® 7200 Low Ash Gas Engine Oil gives outstanding protection against ring and liner scuffing and wear. It also minimizes valve recession in four-stroke engines and provides excellent piston and ring belt deposit control to effectively protect against the formation and buildup of engine sludge.


PRODUCT BENEFITS


Exceptional engine performance
Optimized detergent/dispersant additive package helps to minimize the formation of engine deposits.

Valve recession protection
The level and type of ash-producing additives in the oil provides minimum valve recession with low levels of combustion chamber deposits to minimize the potential for pre-ignition and spark plug fouling.

Low wear
Offers outstanding protection against piston, ring, and liner scuffing, scoring, and wear.

Long oil life
Improved oxidation and nitration resistance provides maximum flexiblity in maintenance scheduing.

Clean pistons
Works to keep pistons clean, which helps prevent ring sticking and maintains clean, vanish-free piston skirts.

SERVICE CONSIDERATIONS

The sulfated ash, alkalinity reserve and phosphorus content of gas engine oils can be
properly matched to the needs of individual applications, taking account of engine design,
operating conditions, fuel type and quality, with particular reference to sulfur content and
whether or not the engine is fitted with an exhaust catalyst for emission control purposes.

All spark ignition, gas-fuelled engines are sensitive to the sulfated ash level of the
lubricant and to the chemical nature of the ash. Excessive ash can lead to problems such
as exhaust valve guttering and build-up of preignition-inducing combustion chamber
deposits. On the other hand, many engines require a certain amount of lubricant ash to
ensure satisfactory valve seat lubrication and to minimize valve seat recession.
