Citgo Lubricants introduces new Citgard blend

For the fleet wanting to reduce overall operating costs while upgrading their engine oil program, CITGO Lubricants introduces CITGARD 700 Synthetic Blend 10W-30 CJ-4/SM Heavy Duty Engine Oil. The advanced synthetic blend offers improved cold weather cranking performance, simplifies inventory by enhancing winter and summer performance, and exceeds requirements for both API CJ-4 and passenger car API SM credentials.

“With state-of-the-art wear control and patented CITGO SootArrest technology, CITGARD 700 Synthetic Blend 10W-30 CJ-4/SM Heavy Duty Engine Oil offers protection for newer ERG engines that tend to have higher soot levels even those operating in the most severe conditions,” said Mark Betner, product manager, CITGO Lubricants. “The synthetic blend is also well suited to protect against engine oil oxidation and fuel dilution, especially in fleets operating greater than 5 percent BIO diesel fuel.”

CITGARD 700 Synthetic Blend 10W-30 CJ-4/SM Heavy Duty Engine Oil combined with the CITGO LubeAlert HD Oil Analysis program offers cost saving benefits through preventative maintenance, warranty protection, greater unit resale value and optimized engine oil service intervals. Plus, it is an excellent alternative for urban or city transit fleets operating on compressed natural gas.
