As the world shifts towards greener and efficient fuels, natural gas engine oil is gaining importance to facilitate sustainable energy systems. From CNG buses to gas-driven power generators, the engines used by them require special lubrication, and that's where CNG engine oil additives enter the picture.
At Finozol, our natural gas engine oil additive packages are engineered for minimal ash content and maximum durability. Designed for use in CHP systems and biogas engines, these additives strike the perfect balance between valve protection and emissions control. You can also explore our comprehensive guide on lubricant additives to understand how each component enhances performance.
Natural gas engine oil works under much more severe conditions than diesel or gasoline engine oils. Gas engines tend to run long hours continuously at high combustion temperatures, which imposes tremendous stress on the oil. They are prone to:
These problems are not only costly to fix but can reduce the life of your engine. That is why using the proper natural gas engine additives is crucial.
So, just what do natural gas engine oil additives do? In essence, they improve the oil's resistance to thermal, chemical, and mechanical stress. Some of the main functions include:
Each of the additives has a specific function to help prolong oil life and enhance engine performance, and at Finozol, our products are precisely formulated to bring about synergy in these functions.
One of the most critical considerations in natural gas engine oil is ash content. High-ash formulations can cause pre-ignition, deposit formation, and fouling of the spark plugs and emission systems. However, ash also plays a protective role, especially in guarding against valve seat recession.
Finozol’s natural gas engine oil additives are designed to strike a perfect balance. Our low-ash additive packages typically contain less than 0.6% sulfated ash, aligning with OEM requirements and helping you:
This balanced approach makes sure that the oil does its job, protecting and lubricating without causing secondary problems.
Because of the elevated operating temperatures and lean-burn operation in gas engines, oxidation and nitration are typical problems. These chemical reactions age the oil and cause increases in viscosity, deposit formation, and loss of performance.
Our CNG engine oil additives contain a strong antioxidant system consisting of both phenolic and aminic material. These chemicals slow the onset of oxidation and maintain the oil thermally stable for longer durations.
By fighting nitration, our additives inhibit the creation of sticky deposits and varnish that would otherwise detract from the engine's performance.
Even with natural gas' clean combustion characteristics, the engine must endure mechanical wear, particularly in high-load applications. That's why Finozol's natural gas engine additives contain next-generation anti-wear agents, including boron compounds and phosphorus-free technologies, for long-term protection of the engine.
These additives create a protective coating on metal surfaces, reducing metal-to-metal contact and wear on critical components such as:
With improved wear protection, you minimize maintenance intervals and increase engine longevity.
Clean engines perform better, last longer, and are more efficient. Our natural gas engine oil additives include powerful detergents and dispersants that:
This helps keep engine parts, especially in the top-end and combustion chamber, clean and operating smoothly.
One of the reasons formulators choose Finozol is because our natural gas engine oil additives are compatible with both Group I and Group II base oils. This makes our packages versatile for blending operations and ensures performance whether you’re using conventional or more refined base stocks.
This compatibility gives blenders the flexibility they need to formulate oils that are:
All our natural gas engine oil additives are developed to meet the performance standards set by major engine manufacturers and international certification bodies. Our packages are designed to help you formulate oils that comply with:
Our additives are tested in our in-house lab for TBN retention, oxidation resistance, nitration stability, and ash content, ensuring they are ready for field applications.
Finozol’s additive packages are designed for use in a variety of natural gas engine oil applications, including:
Whether your equipment is in constant use or subjected to intermittent heavy loads, our formulations adapt to the conditions to provide reliable protection and performance.
Our customers across power plants, public transport fleets, and biogas operations consistently report measurable performance improvements:
These benefits are directly tied to the robust chemistry of our CNG engine oil additives, optimized through extensive field trials and lab testing.
