Perkins has launched a new Perkins Diesel Engine Oil, the only oil formulated specifically to match the conditions in Perkins engines, according to the company.

Perkins oil has been formulated specifically for the long operating life, and performance of Perkins engines.
This engine oil comprises a unique mix of additives, designed specifically to prevent the build-up of conditions which can impair the oil performance, reduce operating life and potentially damage engine components.

?We?ve created Perkins oil to give you unbeatable protection and unrivalled engine performance and the results have been proven in high stress condition testing,? said Julian Wood, Product Marketing Manager, Service and Maintenance Products.

Made up of three base oils that deliver the right viscosity across the working temperature ranges, Perkins oil includes a combination of 12 beneficial additives, such as: Viscosity stabilisers to ensure a long and stable operating life; Dispersants and detergents to prevent the build-up of sludge and ash; and Anti-wear agents and friction modifiers to ensure good lubrication and prevent wear.

This custom formulation is specially designed to meet the needs of off-highway and electrical power engines. Perkins recommends Perkins Diesel Engine Oil 15W-40 API CI-4 as the only oil to use in Perkins engines, EU Stage IIIA/U.S. EPA Tier 3 equivalent and below.

The formulation of Perkins oil is unique to Perkins, the company says. Perkins oil is now available in India in 20 litre and 208 litre quantities, through local distributors.
