DURON™ provides excellent soot control and wear protection for your older engines. Maximizing longevity means minimizing the costly, damaging effects of soot. On-road or off-road, make DURON your engine oil of choice in the battle against downtime.
Fights soot in tough operating conditions
DURON is the heavy duty diesel engine oil with proven soot-fighting performance and savings. DURON is proven to provide long lasting protection to diesel engines from wear and reduce maintenance costs under the toughest conditions.
Protection
Minimizing engine wear is critical to reducing downtime and extending the life of your engine. By controlling soot, DURON offers exceptional defence against wear.
- Soot particles left uncontrolled can agglomerate and harden into abrasive clumps that can scratch and score critical engine components.
- Higher soot loads will increase the oil's viscosity — that can leave engine components under-lubricated.
- Poor shear stability can reduce film thickness of the oil. Effective piston sealing relies on a strong oil film to prevent soot and other contaminants from moving past the rings to get to critical engine components, where damaging wear can occur.
Extended drain intervals
DURON helps you to safely and confidently extend drain intervals1 — keeping your equipment running longer and saving you money. It's been proven to maintain its soot fighting abilities, and stay in-grade longer.
All-weather performance
You can also rest assured that your engine will be well protected in a variety of weather conditions. In the harsh cold, you can rely on DURON's excellent cold-cranking and cold-pumping properties to ensure you get the performance and protection you need. In extreme high temperatures, you can rely on DURON's advanced shear stability formulation to maintain its stay-in-grade performance throughout extended operations ensuring continued protection of your engine.
