(1) Z-type engines: A lubricating oil with a BN of 40 mg KOH/g should be used with HFO, as the
engines with piston lubrication tend to have a lower lubricating oil consumption than the
engines with liner lubrication in which also BN 30 lubricating oils can be used. The application
of a BN 50-55 lubricating oil is mainly restricted to the engines, which have very low lubricating
oil consumption and whenever a BN 40 lubricating oil is not sufficient to maintain the BN above
20 mg KOH/g.
If both distillate fuel and residual fuel are used periodically as fuel, lubricating oil quality has to be
chosen according to instructions being valid for residual fuel operation, i.e. BN 30 is the minimum.
In heavy fuel operation the use of BN 30 lubricants in the installations equipped with an SCR
catalyst can eventually have a positive influence on cleanliness of the SCR catalyst compared to
the use of higher BN lubricants.
Optimum BN in this kind of operation depends on the length of operating periods on both fuel
qualities as well as of sulphur content of fuels in question.
Thus in particular cases BN 40 or even higher BN lubricating oils should be used.
The intervals between lubricating oil changes may be extended by adding oil daily to keep the oil
level constantly close to the maximum level.
An example of BN depletion curve with different BN lubricating oils is shown below.

3.4 Additives
The oils should contain additives that give good oxidation stability, corrosion protection, load
carrying capacity, neutralisation of acid combustion and oxidation residues and should prevent
deposit formation on internal engine parts (piston cooling gallery, piston ring zone and bearing
surfaces in particular).
3.5 Foaming Characteristics
Fresh lubricating oil should meet the following limits for foaming tendency and stability, according
to the ASTM D 892-01 test method:

Sequence I: 100/0 ml
Sequence II: 100/0 ml
Sequence III: 100/0 ml
3.6 Base Oil
Use of virgin base stocks only is allowed, i.e. recycled or re-refined base oils are not allowed.

4 Condemning Limits For Used Lubricating Oil

When estimating the condition of used lubricating oil, the following properties along with the
corresponding limit values must be noted. If one of these limits is reached, remedial action should be
taken to bring the oil charge back to its normal condition. This could mean complete or partial renewal of
the oil charge, although it might also be sufficient to intensify treatment of the oil in the centrifugal
separator, for example by decreasing the intervals between the discharge cycles, or to treat the oil charge
in a renovating tank. Compare also with guidance values for fresh lubricating of the brand used.

5 Change Of Lubricating Oil Brand

Top-up with another lubricating oil brand than being filled to the system is not allowed, except if the both
two lubricating oils originate from the same manufacturer. E.g. if company A’s BN 40 oil is filled into the
oil system and top-up with same Company A’s BN 50 oil is desired, that can be done provided that both
products are based on same base oils and additive technology. Otherwise the lubricating oil system has
to be drained and then filled with another brand by following the procedure described here below.

In order to minimize the risk of lubricating oil foaming, deposit formation, blocking of lubricating oil filters,
damage of engine components, etc., the following procedure should be followed when lubricating oil
brand is changed from one to another:

• If possible, change the lubricating oil brand in connection with an engine (piston) overhaul
• Drain old lubricating oil from the lubricating oil system
• Clean the lubricating oil system in case of an excessive amount of deposits on the surfaces of
engine components, like crankcase, camshaft compartment, etc.
• Fill the lubricating oil system with fresh lubricating oil.

If the procedure described above is not followed, responsibility of possible damage and malfunctions
caused by lubricating oil change should always be agreed between an oil company and customer.

6 Lubricating Oil Maintenance And Treatment

Frequent oil analysis at 500 - 1000 running hours intervals is recommended. Samples should be taken
from the specially fitted sampling cock while the engine is running, or the oil is still hot. The quantity of oil
in circulation should be the same each time a sample is taken. Samples must be well labelled,
representative of the complete oil charge in circulation and should not be contaminated after being drawn.
The sample cock should be purged, a one litre sample drawn during a period of 10 minutes, the sample
mixed thoroughly and decanted into a sampling bottle.

The additive and wear metal content and the degree of contamination by fuel can also be determined.
The significance of the analysis results is best assessed if they are considered as a whole and in relation
to the past analytical history of the lubricating oil. The correct interpretation of an oil trend requires a
knowledge of the specific lubricating oil consumption, the fuel oil type and how the lubricating oil is
replenished.
The condition of the lubricating oil depends on the amount of lubricating oil in circulation. The level of the
main lubricating oil tank should be kept within a range of 70% to 90.
In the course of time even the best quality lubricating oil shows signs of deterioration in condition due to
ageing, oxidation and contamination caused by the working conditions, in such a way that a change of the
oil charge is necessary. However it is not possible to give a fixed interval for this purpose since this is
influenced by the operating conditions and the efficiency of the lubricating oil treatment.

7 Approved Lubricating Oil Qualities for Sulzer Z40, ZA40, ZA40S and
ZA50S Type Trunk-Piston Diesel Engines
Should unapproved lubricating oils be used during the engine warranty period, and there exist no
agreement with the engine manufacturer about testing, the engine guarantee does not hold.

7.1 Gas Oil And Marine Diesel Oil Operation

If gas oil or marine diesel oil is used as fuel, lubricating oils with a BN of 10-25 are recommended to be
used. Also BN 30 lubricating oils included in Table 5 can be used in gas oil and Marine Diesel Oil fuelled
engines.

7.2 Heavy Fuel Operation

Today’s modern trunk piston diesel engines are stressing the lubricating oils heavily due to a.o. low
specific lubricating oil consumption. Also ingress of residual fuel combustion products into the lubricating
oil can cause deposit formation on the surface of certain engine components resulting in severe operating
problems. Due to this many lubricating oil suppliers have developed new lubricating oil formulations with
better fuel and lubricating oil compatibility. The lubricating oils mentioned in Table 4 are representing
modern detergent/dispersant additive chemistries and have shown good performance in Sulzer engines.

Table 4: approved lubricating oils - fuel category C, recommended in the first place when operating on heavy fuel. The application of
a BN 50-55 lubricating oil is mainly restricted to engines which have a very low lubricating oil consumption.

7.4 Approved Lubricating Oils For Governor/Actuator

The lubricating oil must conform to the lubricating oil requirements of the mechanical or hydraulic
governor or actuator's original manufacturer. The following guidelines are supplementary to those
requirements:
If the nominal operating pressure is high (> 1380 kPa / 200 psi), as for most modern Sulzer engines, a
synthetic polyalphaolefin based lubricating oil should be used. Certain ester based oils attack seals and
can form varnish, and should not be used unless recommended by the manufacturer. Older engines have
governors with lower nominal operating pressures (< 1380 kPa / 200 psi), for which a mineral oil based
lubricating oil can also be used.
The lubricating oil viscosity should be in the range:

- ISO VG 68 for oil sump temperatures ca. 60°C to 75°C

- ISO VG 100 for oil sump temperatures ca. 75°C to 90°C
The oil must be kept clean and an oil charge which shows distinct signs of discoloration should be
replaced. Synthetic oils should be changed at least once a year and mineral oils at least every 2000
running hours. If the nominal operating pressure is very high (> 1790 kPa / 260 psi), as on all engines
with 12 cylinders or more, then the synthetic oil should be changed at least every 6 months, or if the oil
sump operating temperature exceeds 90°C then more frequently.
An oil of viscosity class SAE 30 or SAE 40 is suitable and usually the same oil can be used as in the
engine. Turbocharger oil can also be used in the governor. In low temperature ambient conditions it may
be necessary to use a multigrade oil (e.g. SAE 5W-40) to get a good control during start-up.

7.5 Other Approved Lubricating Oils For Turbocharger/Governor

There is additionally available a number of mineral based lubricating oils, which can be used in ABB’s
VTR series turbochargers, if the turbocharger speed and pressure ratio in a specific installation are within
the limits set by ABB. However, the special low friction synthetic oils listed above are offering longer
change intervals and better performance and are thus preferred in the first place also in older installations
with less severe operating conditions concerning turbocharger speed and pressure ratio. The list of
mineral based oils can be supplied by request.

7.6 Approved Lubricating Oils For Engine Turning Device

It is recommended to use EP-gear oils, viscosity 400-500 cSt at 40 °C = ISO VG 460 as lubricating oils
for turning device.
