Technosynthese® DESCRIPTION TEKMA MEGA X LD 15W-40 is a synthetic based Technosynthese® lubricant, specially developed for countries where fuel Sulfur content is around 0.5% (5000 ppm) or higher. APPLICATIONS TEKMA MEGA X LD 15W-40 is designed for all low emissions European, American or Japanese Diesel engines naturally aspirated or Turbocharged, in line with Euro II, Euro III, Euro IV, Euro V, fitted with EGR System (Exhaust gas recirculation), SCR (Selective Catalytic Reduction), or older engine generation: trucks, bulldozers, construction machinery, buses, farm machinery, stationary engines, boat engines... Can be used as single lubricant in case of fleet composed of new & old generation engines. ADVANTAGES ■ Avoid corrosive attacks on cylinder liners when engine is burning fuel with high sulfur content above 0.5% (5000 ppm). ■ Increase oil drain intervals without any risk for engine life time. ■ Dispersant and anti-oxidation properties: protection against soot builds up and oil filter clogging. ■ Superior detergent level: piston cleanliness and piston groove deposits control. ■ Allows Fuel consumption reduction.
