ChevronTexaco Taro® 20 DP SAE 40

Texaco Taro 20 DP delivers value through:Wear protection — Performance results in the latest design medium speed trunk piston diesel engines have shown that the high level of alkalinity of this lubricating oil controls cylinder liner wear effectively and protects bearings from corrosion. High performance antiwear additives provide excellent protection against adhesive wear for cams, camshaft and bearings.Reduced foaming and improved water tolerance — Texaco Taro 20 DP provides a high degree of water tolerance and antifoam protection.Prevents deposits — Provides exceptionally clean crankcase interiors, keeps oil control rings clean and prevents deposit formation throughout the engine. Extends oil filter cleaning intervals. Has excellent insolubles control.Oxidation stability — Texaco Taro 20 DP withstands high thermal stress of high output trunk piston engines and reduces undercrown deposits. Lubricating qualities of the oil remain at a very high level over long periods of use and engine parts are protected from the corrosive effects of oil oxidation products.Rust protection — Effective inhibitor package prevents corrosion of engine parts when the engine is not in operation.Balanced additive combination — Ensures high quality performance with excellent overall protection. Provides minimum maintenance and down time, long engine life, and economical operating costs.Texaco Taro 20 DP is a high performance high alkaline diesel engine oil for medium speed trunk piston diesel engines burning low sulphur heavy fuels or marine diesel oi (MDO).Texaco Taro 20 DP is blended from high quality base oils and additives that provide an extra margin of protection against ring sticking, piston deposits and wear under the most severe operating conditions.Taro20 DP has very good viscosity control when used in severe high temperature service and its excellent alkalinity retention characteristics prevent corrosive wear over long periods of operation. The unique detergent and dispersant additive system provides outstanding piston cleanliness as well as good heavy fuel related contaminants handling characteristics. This results in significant reduction of both "hot" (piston lands and grooves, piston undercrown, purifier preheaters) and "cold" (crankcase, cambox, rocker area, fuel pumps, purifier bowl) deposits.Texaco Taro 20 DP is recommended for all types of trunk piston diesel engines burning MDO or low sulphur heavy fuels with a sulphur content up to 2%.Texaco Taro 20 DP meets the requirements of all major marine diesel engine manufacturers.Texaco Taro 20 DP meets the performance requirements of API Service Category CF.Typical test data are average values only. Minor variations which do not affect product performance are to be expected in normal manufacturing. CPS Number: 233023; MSDS Number: 8753
