GOING WITH THE FLOW
COMMA talks to VITAL NEWS about the importance of using OEM-approved engine oils for HGVs
With increasingly stringent emission regulations for diesel engines , vehicle manufacturers have to continually review and make design changes to accommodate legislative and consumer demands . Today , engine oils for HGVs are also evolving towards high performance , low viscosity , semi and fully synthetic engine oils that are more commonly associated with passenger vehicles .
Fuel expenditure accounts for an estimated 30 % of total HGV fleet operating costs . Combined with the drive to improve fuel economy and maintain lubricant integrity between long drain intervals , demands being made on modern HGV engines continue to escalate .
The TransFlow Range is available as follows :
• TransFlow FE 5W-30 , 20 litre ( TFFE20L )
• TransFlow ML 10W-30 , 20 litre ( TFML20L )
• TransFlow GX 15W-40 , 5 litre ( TFGX5L ), 20 litre ( TFGX20L )
• TransFlow SD 15W-40 , 5 litre ( TFSD5L ), 20 litre ( TFSD20L )
• TransFlow UD 10W-40 , 5 litre ( TFUD5L ), 20 litre ( TFUD20L )
• TransFlow AD 10W-40 , 5 litre ( TFAD5L ), 20 litre ( TFAD20L )
• TransFlow LX 15W-40 , 5 litre ( TFLX5L ), 20 litre ( TFLX20L )
• TransFlow XP 20W-50 , 5 litre ( TFXP5L ), 20 litre ( TFXP20L )
This has created the need for a wider range of specifications and products to choose from . In turn , the process of selecting the right oil for any given vehicle has become more complicated . The consequences of choosing the wrong oil has become more expensive than ever .
