Texaco Geotex® LA SAE 40

Subcategory: Fluid

Close Analogs: CPS Number: 221869; MSDS Number: 8917

Material Notes:
Texaco Geotex LA oils deliver value through:

• Low maintenance cost and long engine life
• Low wear — Provide excellent protection againstpiston, ring, and liner scuffing, scoring, and wear.
• Reduced valve recession — The level and type of ash producing additives in the oils provide minimum valve recession with low levels of combustion chamber deposits to minimize the potential for pre-ignition and spark plug fouling.
• Minimum oil viscosity increase — Oxidation inhibited and nitration resistant to insure minimum viscosity increase, long service life, and low wear rates.
• Cleaner pistons — API CD¹ /CF performance provide superior piston cleanliness to prevent ring sticking and maintain clean, varnish-free piston skirts.
• Clean crankcases and top decks — Minimize the formation of sludge in the crankcase and in the valve rocker cover/top deck area.
• Catalyst compatibility — Low phosphorous content means compatibility with NSCR emission reduction systems.
• Improved low temperature performance — Texaco Geotex LA SAE 15W-40 provides increased oil flow to engine components for better lubrication during cold startup; and is suitable for use in selected automotive natural gas engine applications.

Texaco Geotex LA oils are high quality, bright stockfree, low ash, dispersant/detergent type engine oils.

They are formulated with high quality base stocks and an additive package containing an ashless dispersant, oxidation inhibitors, metallic detergents, and a metallic antiwear agent.

Texaco Geotex LA oils provide outstanding oxidation and nitration resistance, which reduce the buildup of insolubles and provide extended oil and filter life. Texaco Geotex LA oils give excellent protection against ring and liner scuffing and wear. They also minimize valve recession in four-stroke engines and provide excellent piston and ring belt deposit control and effectively protect against the formation and buildup of engine sludge.

Texaco Geotex LA SAE 15W-40 provides easier engine startup and better oil flow in low temperature conditions. In addition, reduced oil consumption can be achieved, especially in four-stroke engines.

Texaco Geotex LA oils are recommended for fourstroke and selected two-stroke stationary engines fueled by natural or synthetic gas and gas from digester and landfill sources. Recommended for four-stroke engines manufactured by:

• Caterpillar
• Delaval Enterprise
• Dresser-Rand Categories I, II, and III (SAE 30)
• Superior
• Waukesha
• Worthington
