ConocoPhillips announced the introduction of a next generation, premium low ash natural gas engine oil, 76 Lubricants Triton 5005EXD. Formulated to meet the increased performance demands of today’s high-output natural gas engines, the new 76 oil is designed to help natural gas industry operators increase productivity by enabling their engines to operate smoothly at maximum efficiency, protecting the hardware, and minimizing down time, while also improving the bottom line by reducing operational expenses, according to the company.
“At ConocoPhillips Lubricants, we understand the challenges of keeping natural gas engines operating at peak condition under the most demanding circumstances. Operators who use our new 76 Lubricants Triton 5005EXD formulation stand to benefit from enhancements in wear reduction, engine parts cleanliness, valve recession control and ability for extending oil drain service,” said Reginald Dias, director of Commercial Products, ConocoPhillips. “In fact, 76 Lubricants Triton 5005EXD has passed extensive field tests, and performed extremely well under the most severe conditions, ultimately keeping engines clean and running at optimal levels.”
According to the company, 76 Lubricants Triton 5005EXD is a premium quality, low ash dispersant-detergent gas engine oil designed for use in four-stroke cycle engines fueled by natural gas or LPG. Formulated with unique, next-generation additive technology, it combines the advantages of high-quality group II base stocks and a field-proven performance additive to provide excellent engine cleanliness, deposits control, and wear and corrosion reduction.
ConocoPhillips said the new technology further advances ability for extended oil drain service already established by the earlier 76 Triton 5005 technology. The new lubricant outperforms the 76 Triton 5005 and competitive oil, showing better engine cleanliness, less deposits on critical parts, reduced wear and corrosion, and better resistance to oil oxidation under extended drain conditions. The new low ash technology helps to protect emissions control devices such as catalytic converters and exhaust after-treatment from fouling from high ash or catalyst poisons, the company said.
