Beat the Heat with Full-Synthetic Lubricants
Extreme temperatures can be brutal on equipment, especially on moving parts inside the engine. Synthetic lubricants provide premium engine protection to decrease downtime, even in sweltering temperatures.
When in operation, an engine is already hot. Add hot ambient weather to the mix, and suddenly the engine has turned into an oven. This is especially true with newer diesel engines, which, because of their advanced design, can run 70 to 80 degrees Fahrenheit hotter than older-model engines, resulting in a more efficient, “cleaner” burn.
A synthetic lubricant provides enhanced engine protection in the hot summer weather of peak growing season. Without a lubricant that is built to withstand extreme heat, moving parts inside an engine can experience intense friction, which can lead to increased oxidation and engine sludge—leaving equipment vulnerable to unnecessary wear.
So, what makes synthetic lubricants resilient even in scorching temperatures? The answer lies underneath the microscope. The molecules that make up a synthetic lubricants’ base oil are engineered to be consistent in shape and size. This uniformity, down to a microscopic level, means that synthetic oils run cooler and resist thermal oxidation longer.
Extreme temperatures can take a toll on equipment. Using a premium synthetic, like Cenex® Maxtron® Enviro-EDGE® full-synthetic diesel engine oil, can protect equipment no matter what the weather is outside. Visit cenex.com today to learn more about Maxtron Enviro-EDGE.
