“Receiving the NOLS from Man Energy Solutions (formerly MAN Diesel & Turbo), demonstrates the impressive performance of our products in the field. The Taro range of cylinder lubricants provides solutions for the varied range of engines, different fuels and the increasingly complex operating requirements that we are faced with. It also highlights our continued strong working relationship with this leading OEM,” said Ian Thurloway, Chevron Marine Lubricants brand & marketing manager.
Both field tests were carried out on a 6S90ME-C8 MAN B&W 2-stroke engine using MAN’s Automated Cylinder Oil Mixing (ACOM) system.
The first NOL demonstrated the high performance of Taro Special HT Ultra, a 140 BN product that has achieved impressive results helping combat cold corrosion in slow speed vessels burning high sulfur fuel and which Chevron Marine Lubricants was first to market with in 2017, blended with Taro Special HT LF, a 25 BN lubricant ideal for low sulphur, distillate and alternative fuel types, the company claimed.
The second NOL allows for blending Taro Special HT 100 (100 BN) and Taro Special HT LF.
