Marine Applications
Marine engines and equipment operate in the most severe environments you can imagine. In these environments, engines and hydraulic systems must operate efficiently with little to no downtime. On land, an oil change is a simple affair, but on water, there is always the potential for an oil spill, not mention the problem of disposing the used motor or hydraulic oil and the extreme costs associated with these types of changes. On larger marine engines, these oil changes can cost several thousands of dollars and require much downtime – often in industries where there can be no downtime.

Because marine engines often run for nearly 24 hours a day and under extreme loads, oil changes are typically required oil changes at shorter intervals. However, because the Kleenoil Filtration System virtually eliminates wear particles and water from your oil, you can extend drain intervals and still keep your engine oil in a virtually new condition.

Key Benefits of the Kleenoil Filtration System for Marine Applications

  • Extends oil service life.
  • Reduces operational costs.
  • Reduces depreciation.
  • Reduces oil disposal fees.
  • Reduces dependency on foreign oil.
  • Protects the environment.
  • Reduces downtime and unscheduled service breakdowns.
  • Virtually eliminates engine wear.
  • Removes 99.95% of all water from oil.
  • Maintains additive package components in oil.

Recommendations for Use

The Kleenoil Filtrations System will be a valuable addition for marine equipment if:

  • You put a lot of hours on your marine equipment.
  • You would like to save a large amount of money on oil changes by extending drain intervals. You could save as much as 90 percent over your previous oil maintenance schedule.
  • You need to reduce downtime as much as possible.
  • You simply want the ultimate in protection for your equipment and you want to maximize the life of the engines, hydraulic systems, or transmissions on your marine equipment.
