Breaking: Mahler GR8 receives new Jenbacher J920 approval
INNIO Jenbacher approved Q8 Mahler GR8 as the first high performance 0.8% S-Ash gas engine oil for the use in INNIO Jenbacher 9-series gas engines. The approval is the result of a series of field trials and in-house tests.
How sealants and anti-rust fluids affect lubricant anti-wear properties
The main circulation lubricant in industrial applications comes into contact with anti-rust fluids and sealants used to prevent leakages. Q8Oils has tested and analysed how these products affect lubricant anti-wear properties.
In order to understand what could happen if the system is not properly flushed before start-up and if excessive amounts of sealant are used, Q8Research has investigated this issue.
The development of Q8 Mahler gas engine oils
So how does Q8Oils focus its research and development to achieve:
Cleaner engines
Longer oil drain periods
