Using top-tier synthetic base oils, Signature Series Max-Duty is naturally resistantto oxidation and the thickening effects of soot contamination. That, along withboosted detergent/dispersant additives, keeps soot particles suspendedindependently, helping prevent the formation of larger, wear-causing particles.Viscosity increase is minimized and soot-related wear is controlled. Lower volatilityalso helps Signature Series Max-Duty Diesel Oil retain its viscosity after hightemperature service for maximum engine protection and efficiency.
