Description
Castrol Cyltech 100 is a premium marine diesel engine cylinder lubricant specifically developed to provide protection
against corrosive wear. With a base number (BN) of 100 the product provides a higher level of engine protection than
cylinder oils with a lower BN (e.g. 70 BN products). The high BN is achieved by a careful balance of detergents that
optimise cleanliness performance.
Application
Cyltech 100 is suitable for the cylinder lubrication of the latest super long stroke crosshead engines burning residual
fuels, and in particular whilst slow steaming and using medium and high sulphur fuels.
Depending on the engine condition, it may be suitable for use with ECA compliant fuel with 0.1% sulphur for short
periods only. Please consult the engine makers for specific advice. For medium and longer term use of low sulphur
fuels below 0.5%, we recommend using Castrol Cyltech 40SX.
Advantages
In the severe applications or operating conditions outlined above, Cyltech 100 provides the following advantages when
compared to conventional 70 BN cylinder oils:
Improved protection of liners in engines operating under corrosive conditions.
Excellent control of piston ring and cylinder liner wear.
High level of piston, piston ring and cylinder liner cleanliness.
Helps extend periods between unit overhauls.
Product Performance Claims
Cyltech 100 has 'No Objection' staus with the principal manufactuers of crosshead engines for use under conditions as
specified in their current oil recommendation lists.
