Gulf Dieselmotive 135 [Ref:1881]Technical Data Sheet

Gulf Dieselmotive 135 is a high performance, zinc-free and chlorine-free oil designed to provide excellent engine cleanliness and oil filter life in modern train diesel locomotive engines. Though the newer engines consume significantly less oil and operate at higher temperatures, the excellent TBN (Total Base Number) retention property and improved oxidation resistance of Gulf Dieselmotive 135 provides superior service and facilitate extended drain intervals.

  • Provides excellent engine cleanliness
  • In-service retention of TBN (Total Base Number)
  • Protects against sludge formation
  • Protects silver bearings against corrosion
  • Reduced used oil disposal costs

Gulf Sigma 1000 [Ref:3115]Technical Data Sheet

Gulf Sigma is a high performance high viscosity oil developed for steam cylinders operating on saturated or slightly superheated steam at either high or low pressures. It is formulated from premium quality base oils possessing high thermo-oxidative stability and resists harmful deposit build-up caused by the high operating temperatures of steam cylinders. It has superior film strength and provides excellent lubricity and resistance to water washout.

  • Protects against wear of heavily loaded parts
  • Minimises deposit formation
  • Cleaner engines and lower maintenance costs

Recommended for lubrication of steam cylinders operating on saturated or slightly superheated steam at either high or low pressures. Also suitable for splash lubrication of enclosed worm gears operating at moderate to high loads & temperatures. See datasheet for details.
