REQUIREMENTS AND OIL QUALITY

LUBRICATING OIL REQUIREMENTS AND QUALITY FOR WRTSIL 34SG ENGINES
Viscosity Viscosity class SAE 40 Viscosity Index (VI) Min. 95 Alkalinity (BN) Lubricating oils with BN of 4-7 mg KOH/g have to be used. Sulphated ash level The content of sulphated ash in gas engine lubricating oils is a very important property. Too high ash content can cause preignition, knocking and spark plug fouling, while too low ash content can lead to increased valve wear. Low ash lubricating oils with sulphated ash level of max. 0.6 % m/m have to be used. Additives The oils should contain additives that give good oxidation stability, corrosion protection, load carrying capacity, neutralisation of acid combustion and oxidation residues and should prevent deposit formation on internal engine parts. Foaming characteristics Fresh lubricating oil should meet the following limits for foaming tendency and stability, according to the ASTM D 892-92 test method: Sequence I: Sequence II: Sequence III: 100/0 ml 100/0 ml 100/0 ml

Base oils Use of virgin base stocks is only allowed, i.e. recycled or re-refined base oils are not allowed.

CONDEMNING LIMITS FOR USED LUBRICATING OIL

When estimating the condition of used lubricating oil, the following properties along with the corresponding limit values must be noted. If the limits are exceeded, measures must be taken. Compare also with guidance values for fresh lubricating of the brand used.

CHANGE OF LUBRICATING OIL BRAND

Top-up with another lubricating oil brand than being filled to the system is not allowed, except if the both two lubricating oils originate from the same manufacturer and are based on same base oils and additive technology. Otherwise the lubricating oil system has to be drained and then filled with another brand by following the procedure described here below. In order to minimize the risk of lubricating oil foaming, deposit formation, blocking of lubricating oil filters, damage of engine components, etc., the following procedure should be followed when lubricating oil brand is changed from one to another: If possible, change the lubricating oil brand in connection with an engine (piston) overhaul Drain old lubricating oil from the lubricating oil system Clean the lubricating oil system in case of an excessive amount of deposits on the surfaces of engine components, like crankcase, camshaft compartment, etc. Fill the lubricating oil system with fresh lubricating oil

If the procedure described above is not followed, responsibility of possible damage and malfunctions caused by lubricating oil change should always be agreed between the oil company and customer.

*) Lubricating oils manufactured from API Group II or IV base oils may offer longer change intervals and better cleanliness of exhaust gas boiler / economizer compared to lubricating oils manufactured from API Group I base oils. USE OF NON-APPROVED LUBRICATING OILS: Before using a lubricating oil not listed in the tables above, the engine manufacturer must be contacted. Lubricating oils that are not approved have to be tested according to engine manufacturers procedure. Should unapproved lubricating oils be used during the engine warranty period, and there exist no agreement with the engine manufacturer about testing, the engine guarantee does not hold.
