TRUCK-GUARD LS 5W-40: Reliable Protection for Heavy-Duty Diesel Engines

Tuesday, 13 August, 2024
Maintaining the health and performance of a diesel engine in various demanding environments requires the use of high-quality engine oil. TRUCK-GUARD LS 5W-40, manufactured by Rock Oil, is a high-quality, low ash, semi-synthetic engine oil specifically engineered to meet major engine builders' ultra-high-performance diesel (UHPD) recommendations. Designed for various applications, including plant hire, off-highway equipment, and commercial vehicles, this oil is tailored to provide exceptional protection and performance in the most challenging conditions.

Engineered for Excellence

TRUCK-GUARD LS 5W-40 is formulated for use in JCB Ecomax T4i and JCB Dieselmax T3 engines, making it an ideal choice for operators of these engines across various sectors. In many models, an SAE 5W-40 grade is the only acceptable viscosity due to its superior low-temperature fluidity and high-temperature stability, ensuring optimal performance in plant machinery, off-highway equipment, or heavy-duty vehicles.

Key Features and Benefits

Outstanding Soot Handling and Sludge Dispersancy

  • Engine Cleanliness: The advanced formulation of TRUCK-GUARD LS 5W-40 ensures excellent engine cleanliness by effectively handling soot and dispersing sludge. This reduces valve-train wear and minimises oil filter restriction, even at high soot levels.
  • Extended Drain Intervals: The exceptional soot handling capability allows for extended drain intervals, reducing the frequency of oil changes and minimising downtime across various equipment, from construction machinery to commercial fleets.

Excellent Wear Protection

  • Trouble-Free Engine Performance: TRUCK-GUARD LS 5W-40 provides outstanding wear protection, ensuring long component life and trouble-free engine performance. This not only enhances engine reliability but also contributes to lower maintenance costs.
  • Reduced Maintenance Costs: By extending the lifespan of engine components and reducing the need for frequent maintenance, TRUCK-GUARD LS 5W-40 helps operators save on maintenance expenses, making it a cost-effective choice in the long run for all types of heavy-duty machinery.

Less Downtime

  • Extended Drain Intervals: Compared to conventional lubricants, TRUCK-GUARD LS 5W-40 allows for medium extended drain intervals, as Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) recommended. This leads to less downtime in construction, off-highway applications, or transportation, allowing equipment to stay operational longer and enhancing overall efficiency.

Exceptionally High Total Base Number (TBN)

  • Neutralisation Potential: TRUCK-GUARD LS 5W-40‘s high TBN offers superior protection against aggressive acids that can form during combustion. This neutralisation potential helps prevent engine corrosion and extends the oil’s lifespan, further contributing to extended drain intervals in various applications.

TRUCK-GUARD LS 5W-40 is more than just an engine oil; it’s a comprehensive solution designed to meet the rigorous demands of heavy-duty diesel engines across multiple sectors, including plant hire, off-highway equipment, and commercial vehicles. Its unique formulation provides outstanding protection, extends component life, reduces maintenance costs, and minimises downtime, making it an essential part of any maintenance strategy.
