Material Notes:
Texaco Diesel Engine Oils deliver value through:Ability to maximize oil and filter lifeImproved wear controlExtended drainsExtends oil drains in new low oil consumption GE locomotives, reducing oil costsBetter oxidation and viscosity controlBetter alkalinity retentionPotential fuel savings. The 17 MG 2000 grade reduces fuel and oil consumption compared to single grade oils.Proven superior field performance.Texaco Diesel Engine Oils are outstanding high dispersancy, high alkalinity, 17 base number engine oils for use in diesel engines used in railroad, power generation, oil well drilling, and marine and industrial service requiring a zinc-free oil and Generation 4 LL or Generation 5 lubricant characteristics. Texaco Diesel Engine Oils represent the latest in oil technology for this type of service and satisfy the requirements of the newest engine technology.Texaco Diesel Engine Oils are manufactured using premium quality base oils and a nonchlorinated additive package that offers low engine wear and minimizes used oil disposal issues. Texaco Diesel Engine Oil 17 MG 2000 includes a nondispersant viscosity index improver.New engine designs, aimed at reducing operating expenses, operate at higher combustion pressures and higher temperatures which require improved oxidation and viscosity control. In addition, new piston and ring designs call for increased alkalinity reserve to control corrosive wear and deposit formation.Texaco Diesel Engine Oils successfully handle these new requirements by providing outstanding resistance to viscosity increase due to superior oxidation and thermal stability, and by providing a high alkalinity level (17 mg KOH/g by ASTM D 2896).Texaco Diesel Engine Oils are recommended:for use in all railroad-type diesel engines for locomotive, marine equipment, stationary electric generating plants, offshore drilling equipment, and many other applications.where large medium-speed EMD or GE diesel engines are used for primary power.Texaco Diesel Engine Oils are:completely compatible with earlier Chevron Delo® railroad oils.miscible with competitive railroad type oils and additive systems consistent with engine manufacturers recommended practices.Texaco Diesel Engine Oils provide excellent performance in older locomotive types such as Sulzer, Baldwin, and ALCO. Texaco Diesel Engine Oil 17 SG 2000 is recommended:for use in Caterpillar and other diesel engines operating where sulfated ash levels above 1% are acceptable.where DDC engines are used for auxiliary power. Detroit Diesel Corporation approves the use of Generation 4 and 5 zinc-free railroad engine oils in these applications.Texaco Diesel Engine Oils meet the performance requirements of:API Service Categories CD1 , CD-II1, CF, CF-2 Caterpillar TO-2 (17 SG 2000)Texaco Diesel Engine Oils:are qualified by Electro Motive Division, General Motors, for use in engines operating under EMD factory warrantyare fully approved by General Electric as Extra Performance Lubricants.Typical test data are average values only. Minor variations which do not affect product performance are to be expected in normal manufacturing. CPS Number: 222917; MSDS Number: 8614
