OILS & LUBRICANTS
Specialist British oil, lubricants and treatments manufacturer,
Millers Oils, has launched an advanced new, fully-synthetic
commercial vehicle engine oil developed for Euro VI engines.
Trucksynth 10W-40 is also compatible for Euro IV and V
engines, making it ideal for mixed age fleets. The new lubricant
has been formulated to help optimise fuel economy, reduce
emissions and increase efficiency of modern heavy-duty diesel
engines. As well as offering maximum engine protection by
reducing friction, TruckSynth helps to slowdown engine wear
and maximise oil drain intervals to improve vehicle downtime.
“At a time when fuel costs are rising, emissions regulations are
becoming increasingly stringent and more is being asked of engine
components, fleet managers need some good news; Trucksynth
10W-40 continues to protect against engine wear and optimise
fleet efficiency, even for mixed age fleets,” explains Thomas
Katsoulas, Platform Manager. “As a fully-synthetic lubricant,
TruckSynth 10W-40 has been carefully formulated to optimise
the benefits brought by AdBlue, EGR and DPF systems, as well as
working perfectly with existing emissions-
reducing engine technologies.”
TruckSynth 10W-40 is OEM approved for
MAN M 3477, Volvo VDS-3, Mack EO-N
and Renault RLD-2. It also meets ACEA E6
& E7, API CI-4, MB 228.51, Cummins CES
20076 & 20077, Scania Low Ash, MTU
Type 3.1 and CAT ECF-1-a specifications. It
benefits from the use of high quality base
oils and additives, helping to ensure that oil
is circulated swiftly at cold start-up yet still
provides maximum film strength even in
the most arduous conditions.
“Millers
Oils
specialists
have
been
working hard at our R&D facility and have
calculated the optimal viscometric balance
for providing advanced protection without
jeopardisingefficiency,” explains Katsoulas.
“Some of the benefits to be expected by
using Trucksynth 10W-40 are improved
fuel economy and reduced oil consumption
to help meet tightening emissions targets,
mechanical reliability and prolonged component life.
“There is a wide range of commercial vehicles in the market using
an equally diverse selection of aftertreatments, so it can be difficult
to know which lubricant or additive to use,” continues Katsoulas.
“To help make selection easier, we offer a technical helpline which
is manned by specialists who can help find the most suitable
technology for you to use on either a single vehicle or a fleet. We’ve
found that customers value this support, which helps reduce the
risk of incorrect ordering and ensures that they receive a high-
quality service alongside top-quality products.”
TruckSynth 10W-40 is available in 5L, 20L, 205L, 500L, 1000L
or bulk, and is just one of a range of commercial vehicle products
from Millers Oils aimed at improving fuel economy and reducing
emissions and vehicle downtime. The company also offers low
friction transmission and driveline lubricants, fuel additives and
greases for commercial, agriculture, plant, classic, passenger,
motorsport and motorcycle markets.
