So how does Q8Oils focus its research and development to achieve:
Cleaner engines
Longer oil drain periods
Lower total operational costs (TOC)
The development of Q8 Mahler gas engine oils

Video: Primato relies on Q8 Mahler GR gas engine oil
Primato grows tomatoes on a total surface of 125.000 m2. For the powering and heating of their greenhouses, they use a combined heat and power (CHP) installation, driven by INNIO Jenbacher 624 engines. The newly developed Q8 Mahler GR8 was successfully tested in this challenging application and resulted in longer drain intervals, higher efficiency and cleaner engine parts.
New OEM approval for Q8 Mahler GR8 gas engine oils
Caterpillar Energy Solutions approved Q8 Mahler GR8 as gas engine oil for the use in MWM TCG and Caterpillar CG gas engines with increased pollutant concentration.
New OEM approval for Q8 Mahler GR gas engine oils
TEDOM approved Q8 Mahler GR as gas engine oil for the use in natural gas- and biogas engines. The approval was the outcome of two field tests in Italy, showing excellent results on oil stability.
Prevent varnishing by choosing the right turbine oil
The formation of varnish is a common problem for turbine operators. Varnish is difficult to remove and is seen as a silent machine killer that gradually deteriorates the performance of installations. The choice of the right turbine oil is the most efficient way to fight varnish formation. To understand which turbine oils can prevent varnishing, you must understand the characteristics of varnish and how it is formed.
Q8 Mahler G8: first ‘high ash’ oil with OEM-approval for critical natural gas engines
Q8Oils has succeeded to eliminate the undesired side effects of gas engine oils with a high sulphated ash content. The Q8 Mahler G8 gas engine oil combines a 0,8 % sulphated ash content with a low deposit tendency, keeping engine parts clean.
How to avoid varnishing in turbine oils
Varnishing is a form of lubricant degradation causing the formation of undesirable deposits. In turbine systems, few failure conditions can disrupt operations as quickly and completely as a varnished control valve. It can occur in the most well-maintained machines, even when oils are not particularly old or contaminated. The Q8 van Gogh turbine oils improve the resistance against varnishing, resulting in a higher stability and extended lifetime of your turbine.
Case Study: Performance evaluation test for stationary gas engine oils
Q8Oils’ performance evaluation test is the answer. It gives our customers a perfect comparative view on oil consumption, engine downtime, production efficiency and the overall value for installation owners.
Stationary Gas Engines: different gas types explained
There is an increasing number of high efficiency engines on the market. Gas engines in particular are used in a wide variety of applications such as CHP (Combined Heat and Power), in greenhouses or PowerGen applications to meet fluctuations in local electricity demand. Gas engine systems make use of a broad range of gaseous fuels as fuel gas.
Keeping your gas engine components clean
The number of high efficiency engines on the market is increasing every year. These innovative systems are setting challenging requirements for oil manufacturers. Especially gas engines are subjected to extreme operating conditions and call for advanced lubricants with an outstanding oxidation stability and a low ash deposit tendency. The Q8 Mahler has proved to fit the bill for many gas engine owners.
