Guardol ECT® with Liquid Titanium™ Field Test
ConocoPhillips has conducted extensive testing of Guardol ECT® Synthetic Blend with Liquid Titanium™ in engine tests, bench tests and in field tests. The field trials corroborate the enhanced wear protection and extended drain capability of Guardol ECT® with Liquid Titanium™. The field trials, now extended to off-highway operations, show that the API CJ-4 Guardol ECT® with Liquid Titanium™ provides significant reduction in wear relative to the API CI-4 Plus quality engine oil. The increased wear protection for Liquid Titanium™ predicted from bench tests and engine tests has been validated in real-life applications, in on-highway and off-highway equipment.
