Castrol CDX 30 Crosshead Engine System Oil
Castrol CDX 30 is a premium alkaline system lubricant suitable for use in the crankcase of low-speed marine crosshead engines.
This lubricant is primarily designed for use in modern, highly rated marine crosshead-type diesel engines, including the latest generation of “camless” or electronic engines.
Castrol CDX 30 Lubricant Advantages:
• Good demulsibility, water tolerance and separation between seawater and freshwater ingress.
• Good thermal stability and oxidation resistance which are of particular importance with oil-cooled pistons.
• High level of corrosion resistance against contamination from fresh water and seawater.
• Excellent load-carrying properties (requirements when engine applications include booster and power take-off systems).
• Detergents to maintain piston and crankcase cleanliness.
• Excellent hydraulic oil properties when used in the operating systems of the latest “camless” or electronic engines.

Castrol CDX 30 is approved as a system lubricant by all major manufacturers of crosshead-type marine diesel engines and by leading stern tube manufacturers.
All packages should be stored under cover. Where outside storage is unavoidable drums should be laid horizontally to avoid the possible ingress of water and the obliteration of drum markings. Castrol CDX 30 should not be stored above 60°C, or exposed to hot sun or freezing conditions.
