Specifications and Approvals
- Argina XL is approved by Wartsila and meets the engine test criteria for API CF.
Applications
Medium-speed industrial or marine propulsion and auxiliary engines, burning residual fuel oils, which create conditions of very high oil stress. These conditions usually occur:
- in newer engine designs, with flame rings, especially from Wartsila,
- where oil consumption is <0.5g/kWh
- where load factors are >90%
- where fuels with sulphur >3% are in use
Note: Due to its high base number, this oil has a high ash content. To avoid excessive ash deposits, do not use with low sulphur fuels, or engines with high oil consumption.
