This month we discuss why keeping your oil clean has never been so important. As Investigators & Consultants, we see many lubrication derived damages and reliability issues which could have been avoided.

In recent years, engine manufacturers have been required to reduce the levels of nitrogen oxide (NOx) in diesel engine exhaust gases to meet current emission regulations. In part, this has been achieved by costly changes in engine design that include retarding the timing, raising the piston rings, selective catalytic reduction and the use of exhaust gas recirculating (EGR).

We believe using Hydrodiesel, a fuel which offers greater improvements and reduced costs, is a simple and readily available solution that can be produced at sea and doesn’t affect the lubrication properties of the engine.
