Infineum lubricants for MAN two-strokes

A new combination of Infineum M7095 with Infineum performance booster additive package has been approved under MAN Energy Solutions Category II lubricants for two-stroke engines operating on low sulphur fuels (>0.5% S).

“The achievement of this approval once again proves that we can provide our customers with superior technology solutions,” said Louise Renouf, large engine technology manager, Infineum.

”It ensures that customers are well positioned for future, lower carbon fuels and lower base number (BN), leading to lower ash, gives improved cleanliness in an increasingly stringent regulatory world.”

Expanded range

The Main No-objection Letter (NOL) received from MAN Energy Solutions (MAN ES) for Infineum M7095 follows on the back of the approval for the recently launched Infineum M8040 additive package.

It means that Infineum M7095, an OEM approved 20BN marine diesel cylinder oil additive package, can now be combined with Infineum’s performance booster additive package to meet 40BN MAN category II lubricant requirements.

Infineum has completed rigorous field testing for M7095, accumulating 3,200 running hours on a vessel operating on VLSFO (<0.5% S) fitted with a 6G60ME-C9.5 engine, in addition to a field test of 1,500 running hours on a vessel running on distillate fuel (DMA <0.1% S) fitted with a 6S35ME-B9.5 engine and a pre-screening test.

These multiple tests validated that Infineum M7095 with Infineum performance booster additive package delivers improved overall cleanliness capabilities versus a 100BN category II (Cat II) cylinder oil for two-stroke Mark 9 engines and higher. Its detergent and dispersant capabilities control deposit build-up, which reduce wear rate on pistons and liners and keep engines working for longer. 

Infineum M7095 with Infineum performance booster additive package is an option without the need for bright stock in the formulation to provide customers with more alternatives to suit their supply chain operations.
