Applications & Uses

Applications

Black Bear SHDX ENGINE OIL SAE 15W-40 starts with quality virgin base oil that in itself is very resistant to oxidation. All of Black Bear’s heavy duty engine oil formulations employ a patented highly active dispersant additive. EGR soot thickening has been reduced to extremely low levels, with ashless additive chemistry.
This allows us maximum use of highly effective ash containing combatants to help keep all engines cleaner and running longer. Our overall low ash A.P.l. CK-4 motor oil provides many beneficial changes including:
– Superior soot thickening control in EGR engine designs
– Better performance in Caterpillar ACERT technology engines
– Higher performance, low ash formulation for Diesel Particulate Filter equipment
– Greatly enhanced control of piston deposits in all engines
– New friction reduction technology greatly improves wear protection
– Corrosion and overall engine cleanliness have improved measurably
