“Leveraging our extensive knowledge of SCR engines through the development of the number one brand diesel exhaust fluid – BlueDEF – we’ve been able to deliver additional top-performing fluids to meet the ever-changing needs of the fleet manager,” says Sean Wheatley, senior brand manager, PEAK Commercial & Industrial.
According to PEAK, SCR engines operate at higher temperatures that not only burn off harmful emissions, but also allow the engine to use fuel more efficiently. This increased efficiency combined with PEAK Premium Synthetic Blend SCR HD 10W-30 Motor Oil, can increase fuel economy up to 4.5 percent.
With the increased engine temperature with SCR engines, negative effects on the engine can occur, such as corrosion and soot-induced wear, the company says.
PEAK says its SCR Diesel Engine Oil is engineered with an advanced dispersant chemistry that:
- Stops soot agglomeration from preventing proper engine lubrication
- Protects against corrosive wear common in SCR engines
- Reduces oil consumption and emissions
- Resists viscosity loss and thickening from heavy soot loading and oxidation
- Reduces sludge and carbon deposits
- Offers low-temperature pumpability which enables faster start-up and reduced engine wear in low temperatures
- Protects against “sheer down”
For the growing CNG and LNG markets, PEAK Commercial & Industrial is unveiling specialty engine oil.
PEAK 15W-40 CNG & LNG Engine Oil is a low-ash, heavy-duty engine oil designed for use in bus, delivery and service truck fleets where compressed natural gas, liquid natural gas or propane is used.
PEAK says it meets Cummins CES20074 and Detroit Diesel PGOS 93K16 quality level requirements and is designed specifically for oxidation and nitration resistance.
