How Texaco HDAX 8200 SAE 40 helps protect modern natural gas engines
As gas engines become more powerful and technologically advanced, selecting the right lubricant can help to maintain performance, control maintenance requirements and extend service life.
Designed for the demands of modern natural gas engines, Texaco® HDAX 8200 SAE 40 is formulated to provide oxidation resistance, deposit control and extended drain capabilities to help support reliable operation.
What is Texaco HDAX 8200 SAE 40?
Texaco HDAX 8200 SAE 40 is a premium performance, dispersant and detergent-type extended drain gas engine oil. It has been developed for the latest high-output, turbocharged, low-emission four-cycle engines and is particularly suited to natural gas applications, including cogeneration environments.
The lubricant is formulated using premium base oils with low levels of sulphur, nitrogen and aromatics. These are combined with a technologically advanced additive package containing ashless dispersants, oxidation inhibitors, metallic detergents and a metallic anti-wear agent to help provide protection against corrosion, deposits and engine wear.
How does it help improve engine performance and reliability?
Texaco HDAX 8200 SAE 40 is designed to help support reliable operation through effective control of deposits, sludge and wear. Its dispersant and detergent system helps prevent harmful deposits from accumulating, while its oxidation and nitration resistance helps maintain lubricant performance under demanding operating conditions.
The formulation also helps aid corrosion resistance and helps prevent combustion chamber deposits, supporting effective engine performance over extended periods of operation.
How does it help to protect engine components?
HDAX 8200 SAE 40 features an advanced low-ash additive system designed to help reduce valve recession and minimise the risk of pre-ignition.
This is particularly important in modern gas engines, where combustion chamber deposits can affect reliable operation. Additionally, the lubricant can also reduce deposit formation while helping to provide protection against potential performance issues.
Is HDAX 8200 SAE 40 suitable for engines with catalyst systems?
Yes. HDAX 8200 SAE 40 features a low-phosphorus additive formulation designed to meet catalyst compatibility requirements, making it suitable for use with catalyst systems.
It is also formulated for use with fuels containing low levels of sulphur and chloro fluro carbons (CFC). For sour gas or high-CFC applications, however, a lubricant with a higher base reserve may be required, such as Texaco HDAX 9500 SAE 40.
Which gas engines is HDAX 8200 SAE 40 approved for?
HDAX 8200 SAE 40 has received approvals from leading gas engine manufacturers, including:
- MTU: Approved for Series 4000 gas engines, covering Model Types L61, L62, L63 and L64.
- Bergen Engines: Approved for natural gas engines B36:45, B35:40, C26:33 and K-G1, K-G2 and K-G3.
These approvals support its use across a range of natural gas engine applications, subject to the relevant manufacturer's recommendations and operating requirements.
Why choose Texaco HDAX 8200 SAE 40?
For operators of modern natural gas engines, HDAX 8200 SAE 40 is formulated for extended drain capability, effective deposit control and protection against wear and corrosion.
