Taro® Special HT LS 40 is a 40 BN SAE 50 cylinder lubricant particularly intended for cylinder lubrication of the latest generation crosshead engines using low sulphur fuel (<1.5 to 2 wt% sulphur) and operating at very high mechanical and thermal loads reaching up to 160 bar in maximum cylinder pressure and up to 270 degrees Celsius in liner temperature at top dead centre. Taro® Special HT LS 40 is blended from highly refined, paraffinic base oils and carefully selected additives to provide superior ring and liner wear protection and effective piston cleanliness in low-speed crosshead engines. Taro® Special HT LS 40 has been developed specifically for high-pressure and high-temperature applications.

Taro Special HT LS 40 is recommended for the cylinder lubrication of all crosshead type marine diesel engines continuously using low sulphur fuel and operating at high specific power outputs and high thermal loads. Running on low sulphur fuel requires the reduction of base introduced into the cylinder. This can be achieved by optimizing the oil feed rate or selecting a diesel cylinder lubricant with a lower base number. Taro Special HT LS 40 has been approved by MAN B&W and Wärtsilä for use in the latest generation engine designs.
