HDAX 6500 LFG Gas Engine Oil SAE 30, 40
High performance low ash gas engine oils
HDAX 6500 LFG Gas Engine Oils are high performance low ash dispersant/detergent type SAE 30 and 40 gas engine oils, specifically designed for landfill gas, biogas digester gas and sour gas applications.
HDAX 6500 LFG is recommended for:
- Four-stroke engines fuelled by landfill gas containing elevated levels of chlorofluorocarbons (CFC’s)
- Sour gas applications where corrosive wear is a concern.
- Engines where low ash oils are preferred.
- Helps provide valve recession control, low deposit formation and minimises pre-ignition in four stroke engines running on harsh fuels.
- Low phosphorus formulation helps to protect catalyst.
- Helps extend drain performance with strong base retention, oxidation and nitration resistance characteristics, through a combination of premium base fluids and a robust inhibitor package.
- Helps minimise oxidation, sludge formation and oil thickening, helping protect against filter plugging and abrasive polishing wear.
- Designed to help optimise corrosion control in engines burning high chlorofluorocarbon (CFC) and/or high sulphur fuels where high acidic condensate forms.

- HDAX 6500 LFG Gas Engine Oil SAE 40 is suitable for use in Waukesha engines
- Extensive Proof of Performance trials and operational experience with HDAX 6500 LFG Gas Engine Oil SAE 40 in Caterpillar G3400 and G3500 series engines.
- HDAX 6500 LFG Gas Engine Oil SAE 30 has been successfully used to lubricate a Pielstick PC 2.2 main propulsion engine of an icebreaker, running on MGO with a maximum sulphur content of 500 ppm, demonstrating improved control of piston deposits and liner polishing in comparison to a 12 BN marine engine oil. HDAX 6500 LFG Gas Engine Oil SAE 30 could also be applied in the auxiliary engines, compressors, propeller shaft bearings and rudder hydraulics on the same vessel.
