A trunk piston marine diesel engine lubricating oil composition is dispersant-free, has a TBN of 25 or greater, and comprises

Lubricating oil compositions

Lubricating oil composition

The cylinders of a two-stroke cross-head marine diesel engine characterised by a power output of 4,000 kW per cylinder or greater are lubricated by a cylinder lubricant comprising a basestock of lubricating viscosity, on overbased metal detergent and an oil-soluble sulfur-containing compound or phosphorus-containing compound, thereby to raise the onset temperature of scuffing-type mechanical wear of the cylinder walls.

Marine diesel cylinder lubrication

A lubricant suitable for use in a trunk piston diesel engine characterised by a power output of 200 kW or greater. The trunk piston diesel engine may be for use in marine, power generation or rail traction applications. The lubricant comprises a basestock of lubricating viscosity, an overbased metal detergent, preferably having an ash content of at least 0.85% sulfated ash, and an ashless or metal-free auxiliary additive comprising at least one of: an oil-soluble sulfurized alkylphenol, a phosphorosulfurized or sulfurized hydrocarbon, a sulfide of an oil, a fat or a polyolefin, or an amine phosphate.
