How The Right Oil Can Protect Your Fleet

 

With today’s driver shortage, you face enough challenges meeting your logistics deadlines. The last thing you need is for a truck to go down for repair. One way to keep your fleet running efficiently is to use the right oil and change it according to your equipment’s specifications.

 

Not only is oil crucial to engine health, it’s also an ongoing expense. While synthetic oils do cost a little more than conventional oils, they also require less draining, saving you time on labor and less downtime for your fleet. Plus, all STARFIRE oils are blended to meet or exceed OEM specifications at a lower price point than larger brands to help keep your bottom line in check.

Automotive Engine Oil vs. Marine Engine Oil

 

Automotive and marine engines run in very different ways, with each engine type needing to meet different emission and fuel economy standards. Let’s take a look at the different types of engines and the products they require.

 

Marine Oil

Marine engines and oil must handle the high RPMs and constant heavy loads. Temperature cycling in a marine engine is also very different because of the lake, sea or river water. Marine oil must have the ability to withstand moisture and corrosion more than automotive engine oil because of the high RPMs. Strong film stretch in marine engine oil protects the engine while under constant stress and load.

 

The extra addition of antioxidants in oil is important for marine engine longevity. Boats and fleets require products that keep machines running efficiently and on-time, so our Marine Products withstand all challenges faced in extreme environments.

 

Marine Engine Anti-Wear Hydraulic Oil

Our Marine Engine Anti-Wear Hydraulic Oils are high-performance hydraulic fluids formulated from select base stocks and advanced additive technology. Our formula delivers the ultimate protection and extends operating life. Containing active anti-wear agents, antioxidation, anti-corrosion, anti-rust and anti-foam additive components, our Anti-Wear Hydraulic Oils will keep your marine engine running efficiently.

Purefleet Antifreeze

Whether you need our Purefleet SCA Precharged Antifreeze/Coolant, our Purefleet Heavy Duty ELC Antifreeze/Coolant or our Purefleet EXTREME Heavy Duty ELC Antifreeze/Coolant, you’ll get superior corrosion protection for all cooling system metals, including aluminum, steel, cast iron, copper, brass and solder. Available in concentrate and 50/50 prediluted formulas, our antifreezes are made of a low silicate, phosphate-free formulation for long-lasting inhibition and corrosion protection.

Automotive Engine Oil

In most cases, automotive engines will be carrying a light load and stay at a cruising pace. Automotive engines run at controlled temperatures, keeping operations running and fuel usage consistent. Vehicles are our lifeline and require no-nonsense products. STARFIRE Automotive Products meet and exceed OEM specifications, keeping you on the road with products blended to do the same as larger branded products at a lesser price.
