Caprinus HPD 40 is a premium grade, heavy-duty, crankcase oil, intended mainly for railroad diesel engines of American origin, particularly those manufactured by General Electric and General Motors Electro-Motive Division (EMD). It does not contain zinc and therefore can be used in EMD engines fitted with silver piston-pin bearings.

Suitable for North American diesel engines subjected to the most arduous duty where ‘zinc-free’ oils are recommended by the engine manufacturer. Applications are primarily for railroad locomotives, however Caprinus HPD may also be suitable for certain engines in power generation, marine and mine-haul applications.
