Manufacturer's description

Cat NGEO (Natural Gas Engine Oil) SAE 40 is an engine oil for natural gas applications and other engines requiring low-ash oil. It is formulated from select base stocks blended with special additives to give an economical engine oil for natural gas applications, developed, tested and approved by Caterpillar to meet the same standards as Genuine Cat Parts. It is designed for engines using gaseous fuels, is compatible with exhaust-catalyst applications requiring low-phosphorus oil, and gives optimum engine and oil life with low-sulfur gaseous fuels (below 0.43 mg hydrogen sulfide per mega Joule). Cat NGEO performs throughout the long oil-change intervals typical of gaseous-fuel engines, and its anti-oxidation and anti-nitration properties prevent carbon-deposit buildup to minimize scuffing, scoring and wear, while protecting valve guide faces and seals, neutralizing acids to prevent rust and copper corrosion, and resisting foaming and sludge formation at high temperature. Typical characteristics: SAE 40, API gravity 27.5, flash point 265°C, pour point -12°C, kinematic viscosity 130 cSt at 40°C and 13.5 cSt at 100°C, viscosity index 99, sulfated ash 0.48% wt., TBN 6.2, phosphorus 0.030% wt. and calcium 0.125% wt.

Applications

• Engine oil for natural-gas engines and other engines requiring low-ash oil.
• Designed for engines using gaseous fuels; compatible with exhaust-catalyst applications that require low-phosphorus oil.
• Provides optimum engine and oil life with low-sulfur gaseous fuels containing less than 0.43 mg hydrogen sulfide per megajoule (0.35 mg per BTU).

Performance & benefits

• High-endurance lubrication that performs throughout the long oil-change intervals typical of gaseous-fuel engines.
• Reduced piston and cylinder wear: anti-oxidation and anti-nitration properties prevent carbon-deposit buildup, minimizing scuffing, scoring and wear.
• Increased valve life: protects guide faces and seals from damage.
• Corrosion protection: neutralizes acids to prevent rust and copper corrosion.
• High-temperature performance: excellent thermal stability, resisting foaming and sludge formation.

Fits

• Stationary gas engines
