Explore Castrol CDX – our range of system oils formulated for excellent oxidation stability, water handling, engine cleanliness, and protection.
The marine industry is evolving rapidly, placing increasing demands on slow-speed engines. While selecting the correct cylinder oil is critical to protect against combustion wear, it is equally important to protect the crankcase. The cylinder and crankcase function together as part of the engine system. If one isn’t operating at peak efficiency, the other can be negatively impacted – affecting overall engine performance and operational reliability.
Operating under extreme pressures, the crankcase requires a system oil that can tackle these conditions head-on.
Castrol CDX is designed for modern crosshead marine diesel engines, including the latest camless models. It provides excellent oxidation and thermal stability, along with strong corrosion resistance against seawater and freshwater contamination. Formulated with advanced additives, Castrol CDX helps to maintain piston and crankcase cleanliness while delivering excellent hydraulic properties for both camless and electronic engine operating systems.
