Product Description

DIOL railroad oils are a full line of heavy-duty crankcase lubricants for locomotive diesel engines. These products are designed to meet the severe service demands imposed by newer railroad diesel locomotive engines. Each is formulated with an additive package endorsed by engine manufacturers’ and meets the applicable requirements of General Electric Company and Electromotive Division (EMD) of General Motors.



Features and Benefits



  • Excellent severe service performance
  • Maintain low deposit levels
  • Keeps EMD intake ports clean
  • Minimize ring and cylinder wear
  • Zinc free, low-chlorine and non-corrosive to silver bearings and all other engine metals

Applications

All DIOL® grades meet the requirements of General Electric Generation 4, Long Life and EMD engines are posted on the Internal Listing of the Electromotive Division (EMD) of General Motors.

The newest improvements in General Electric and EMD engines are modified piston rings and cylinder liners that have significantly reduced oil consumption. This drastic reduction in the amount of fresh oil makeup, plus the higher operating temperatures of the newer engines, places an extra burden on the oil. The good base number retention and improved oxidation inhibition of DIOL railroad oils provide excellent service under these conditions, even with extended oil drain intervals.

Health and Safety

Health studies have shown that many petroleum hydrocarbons pose potential human health risks that may vary from person to person. As a precaution, exposure to liquids and vapors of petroleum products should be minimized.

Oils and greases in contact with skin can result in removal of skin oils and plugging of sweat glands and hair follicles. This may lead to skin irritation or dermatitis. Accordingly, good personal hygiene should al-ways be practiced. DIOL oils should always be removed from the skin promptly. Soiled clothing should not remain in contact with the skin.

Oils and greases are readily removed from the skin by waterless hand cleaners followed by washing with soap, water, and a soft skin brush. They can be removed from clothing by dry-cleaning or by washing with laundry detergents. Where repeated skin contact occurs, protective skin creams, such as silicone-base creams, applied to clean hands prior to contact may be beneficial.

If petroleum products contact the eyes, flush the eyes with fresh water until the irritation subsides.

WARNING: "Empty" containers retain residue (liquid and/or vapor) and can be dangerous. Do not pressurize, cut, weld, braze, solder, drill, grind, or expose such containers to heat, flame, sparks, or other sources of ignition; they may explode and cause injury or death. Do not attempt to clean since residue is difficult to remove, and even a trace of remaining material constitutes an explosive hazard.  "Empty" drums should be completely drained, properly bunged, and promptly returned to a drum reconditioner. All other containers should be disposed of in an environmentally safe manner and in accordance with governmental regulations.
