Castrol CDX 30 Crosshead Engine System Oil
Castrol CDX 30 is a premium alkaline system lubricant suitable for use in the crankcase of low-speed marine crosshead engines.
This lubricant is primarily designed for use in modern, highly rated marine crosshead-type diesel engines, including the latest generation of “camless” or electronic engines.
Castrol CDX 30 Lubricant Advantages:
• Good demulsibility, water tolerance and separation between seawater and freshwater ingress.
• Good thermal stability and oxidation resistance which are of particular importance with oil-cooled pistons.
• High level of corrosion resistance against contamination from fresh water and seawater.
• Excellent load-carrying properties (requirements when engine applications include booster and power take-off systems).
• Detergents to maintain piston and crankcase cleanliness.
• Excellent hydraulic oil properties when used in the operating systems of the latest “camless” or electronic engines.
