 |
|
 |
|
| DESCRIPTION:
CITGO SUPERGARDŽ Motor Oils are premium quality engine oils designed to
provide optimum performance in today's high-output gasoline (including turbocharged and
supercharged) engines in passenger cars, vans, sport utility vehicles and light trucks.
The new technology incorporated in these latest-generation lubricants enables them to
exceed manufacturers' 1999 performance requirements. These engine oils demonstrate
improved performance in today's advanced engine designs. SUPERGARDŽ is available in both
single and multigrades.
QUALITIES:
- Exceed SAE standards for high-temperature/high-shear viscosity.
- Exceed latest SAE low-temperature pumping viscosity requirements.
- Provide significantly greater engine cleanliness, wear protection and resistance to oil
thickening.
- Protect against varnish buildup and sludge formation on critical engine parts.
- Control high-temperature deposits in critical ring belt area.
- Provide maximum protection against rust and corrosion.
- Extend engine life by controlling wear and deposit formation.
- Provide excellent performance capabilities in turbocharged and supercharged gasoline
engines.
SERVICE
CATEGORIES:
All viscosity grades
-API SJ; also exceed requirements for obsolete categories SH, SG, SF SAE 5W-30, 10W-30
-API Engine Lubrication Oil Certification mark for ILSAC GF-2 Military CID: A-A-52039
(Commercial Item Description, supercedes MIL-L-46152)
APPLICATIONS:
CITGO SUPERGARDŽ
Motor Oils are recommended for passenger cars, sport utility vehicles and light trucks
operating on gasoline. SUPERGARDŽ Motor Oils are also recommended for use in gasoline
engines which have been converted to operate on compressed natural gas (CNG), liquefied
natural gas (LNG), and liquefied petroleum gas (LPG - which includes propane and butane). Consult
the vehicle owner's manual for proper engine lubricant selection.
SUPERGARDŽ SAE 5W-30 and 10W-30 meet the performance requirements for 1999
gasoline-fueled engine service and display the API Certification Mark. They have also
demonstrated benefits in industry accepted fuel economy tests.
NOTE:
SUPERGARDŽ oils are
not recommended for use in diesel engines in passenger cars, vans or light-trucks. CITGO
CITGARDŽ Motor Oils are recommended for these applications. |
