Description
Taro 50 XL 40 4 STROKE TRUNK PISTON ENGINE OIL
Trunk Piston Engine Oil 50 xl 40 Series lubricants are high-performance, high-BN, diesel engine oils for medium-speed trunk piston diesel engines. Taro 50 XL 40 MEDIUM SPEED Series are specially developed to use in medium-speed, trunk piston diesel engines burning residual fuels with a maximum Sulphur level of 4.5%.
CUSTOMER BENEFITS :
Taro 50 DP deliver value through:
- Wear Protection — High BN levels control cylinder liner wear effectively and protect bearings from corrosion. High-performance anti-wear additives provide excellent protection against adhesive wear for cams, camshaft, and bearings.
- Excellent foaming and water tolerance — Provides a high degree of water tolerance and antifoam protection.
- Detergent/Dispersant Properties — Keeps crankcases and oil control rings clean. Prevents deposit formation throughout the engine. Reduces lube oil filter blockage. Effectively handles insolubles.
- Oxidation stability — Oxidation inhibitors protect the oil against high thermal stresses, protect engine parts from corrosion and reduce undercrown deposits, while promoting extended lubricant life.
- Rust protection — Prevents corrosion of engine parts when the engine is not in operation.
- Balanced additive components — Provides minimal maintenance and downtime, long engine life, and economical operating costs.
FEATURES :
Taro 50 XL is blended from high-quality base oils and additives that provide an extra margin of protection
against ring sticking, piston deposits and wear under severe operating conditions.
Taro 50 XL has very good viscosity control when used in severe high-temperature service and its excellent alkalinity retention characteristics help prevent corrosive wear over long periods of operation. The unique detergent and dispersant additive system promotes outstanding piston cleanliness as well as superb heavy fuel-related contaminants handling characteristics. This helps reduce both “hot” (piston lands and grooves, piston undercrown, purifier preheaters) and “cold” (crankcase, cambox, rocker area, fuel pumps, purifier bowl) deposits.
Taro 50 XL has good water separation and base retention properties.
APPLICATIONS :
Taro 50 XL is recommended for trunk piston diesel engines burning residual fuels with a maximum sulfur level of 4.5% and with low oil consumption. Taro 50 XL meets the requirements of most major marine diesel engine manufacturers.

Service considerations :
- BASE NUMBER (BN) SELECTION
The manufacturer’s lubricant recommendations must be matched to the properties of the fuel and to the severity of the application. The use of an oil with a BN lower than required can result in rapid corrosive wear. Excessively high BN lubricants, relative to fuel sulfur content, can result in ash deposit accumulation on exhaust valves and result in possible valve distress. - FUEL QUALITY
Heavy residual fuels often have poorer combustion characteristics due to their asphaltene content and can result in greater loading of soot and unburned fuel in the lube oil. A higher detergency oil has a greater ability to contain these materials and minimize the formation of “black sludge” as well as piston deposits. - PURIFICATION SYSTEMS
Active purification systems continuously remove combustion contaminants from the oil, by use of centrifugal type separators and automatic backlashing type filtration systems. As a consequence, TPEOs are formulated to hold contaminants in suspension while in the engine and reserve tank but release them in the purification system. At the same time, they must resist the loss of detergent/ dispersant additives with the contaminants whilst undergoing purification. Because of this, they are formulated differently from automotive and railroad diesel engine oils that are designed for systems without active purification. Consequently, one type should never be substituted for the other.
