Solutions for Transport Kendall Oils and Lubricants

IT'S WHAT YOU DEMAND. IT

A lot is expected of heavy duty engine oils today. They must keep engines lubricated and clean. They must prevent acid build-up, extend service intervals and work a wide range of operating temperatures. And now, every oil must be API Cl-4 Plus compliant and engineered to handle the drastically different operating conditions of both EGR (Exhaust-Gas-Recirculation) and non-EGR engines.

A tall order, sure. But at Kendall we're prepared. Because we have the experience to anticipate tougher and tougher demands. And the expertise to build better and better products-ones that meet the standards even before they're standards. It's our commitment to providing total coverage for you and your equipment. From product development to used oil analysis, we're there or you with a support system you can count on. That's why we continue to lead the way in providing quality engine oils that deliver outstanding protection and performance.

That's what we're about. That's Kendall: Born to Perform.

WE'RE READY FOR THE FUTURE A AT KENDALL.

After being in business for over a hundred and twenty years, we know one thing is certain. if you don't move forward, you'll soon be left behind. Case in point- the new CI-4 Plus and EGR performance standard. Everyone has been talking about but at Kendall, we're doing more than talking. We're taking action.

When the EPA began mandating lower emissions, we had already begun preparing for them and future standards as well. That thinking led to the development of our newest line of engine oils-ones that meet and exceed the needs of a changing environment without compromising performance or protection. So whether you're running a fleet outfitted with new EGR engines or equipment with non-EGR engines, our oils deliver the protection you need and the performance you expect from Kendall.

What is EGR?

With Exhaust Gas-Recirculation (EGR) systems it's critical to have an oil of significantly higher performance than ever before. Why? Because the recirculation process exposes the engine to sulphur and nitrogen oxides in the exhaust, which result in increased acidity and corrosion. the leaner air/fuel ratio and incomplete combustion at lower peak temperatures increase soot accumulation leading to accelerated wear levels and filter plugging. To help minimize the Impact of these effects, EGR engines require oils with higher detergency, dispersancy and TBN (total base number)-- core properties of Kendall Super-D 3 and Kendall SHP engine oils.

* EGR lowers 0xygen and reduces peak temperatures and pressures
* EGR gasses are cooled to improve volumetric efficiency
* EGR equipped engines produce lower NOx emissions

		* EGR engines can generate very high levels of soot, in excess of 8% by weight. If soot particles are not properly dispersed, they can agglomerate and contribute to crosshead wear. * This 300 hour EGR engine test measures a lubricant's ability to prevent soot-induced sliding valve train wear. The contact surface between the rocker arm and crosshead is used to evaluate sliding wear. * In performance testing, Kendall Super-D3 beats the CIA limit for crosshead weight loss by more than 50%. It also bests the tougher Mack EO-N Premium Plus limit by more than 17%. * In short, Kendall Super-D 3 has excellent dispersancy to handle soot accumulation/agglomeration and lessen soot induced wear.
	* Filter plugging is another problem caused by the agglomeration of individual soot particles when soot is not properly dispersed. * This 300 hour test uses an engine equipped with cooled exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) to challenge the lubricant's ability to handle levels of high soot in an ERG engine. * The high pressure drop across an oil filter is a measure of filter plugging. * Through 300 hours, Kendall Super-D 3 stays will below the maximum 275 kPa limit. Kendall Super-D 3 permits less than 25% of the allowable pressure increase in filters 8% soot load to comply with API CI-4 Plus requirements. * Even at 8% soot in the oil, Kendall Super-D 3 keeps soot in suspension, preventing filter blockage that can limit service intervals.
		* When viscosity increases, the engine has to work harder to pump the oil around the engine. This robs your engine of fuel economy and could result in catastrophic failure at low temperature start-up if soot laden oil is too thick to pump. * This 300 hour test is designed to test a lubricant's ability to handle high levels of soot. * Kendall Super-D 3 outperforms both the API CIA standard and the tougher Mack EO-N Premium Plus standard specification, staying well below their relative viscosity limits at 4.8% soot. The excellent dispersancy of Kendall Super-D' 3 provides sate, effective, free flowing lubrication to all parts of the engine at elevated soot loading without impacting your fuel economy.
	* Ring and line wear leads to high oil consumption, power loss and early overhauls. * This 300 hour ERG-equipped engine test measures ring and liner wear, oil consumption and lead corrosion. The amount of lead in an engine oil during the test is a measure of bearing corrosion. * A merit system is used to judge oil by combining results from different individual measurements. The desired profile is to have low lead in the oil at the end of the test, plus minimal lead increase during the last 50 hours, which indicates that the oil still has a reserve of ant-corrosion protection. * Test results show that Kendall Super-D 3 again exceeds the rigorous standards of both API CI-4 Plus and Mack EO-N Premium Plus.
