Pakelo STOU Fluid SAE 10W/40 is a special universal lubricant for agricultural machines that allows to simplify lubrication. The special and updated additive package used confers to Pakelo STOU Fluid SAE 10W/40 anti-oxidative, anti-wear, anti-rust, anti-foam, detergent, dispersant, EP (Extreme Pressure) and LS (Limited Slip) properties: furthermore the product provides great thermal stability, protection from corrosion and good compatibility with gaskets. The use of synthetic bases guarantees better thermo-oxidative stability if compared to a mineral based product. Furthermore, the product provides reduced evaporation losses, better fluency at start-ups and longer lasting performance.

Engines’ emission are now ruled also in earth moving and agricultural sector even if emission limits result different from “on-road” field. Furthermore, drain intervals became longer and longer even in more severe working conditions. This means that lubricants for new generation engines can be affected by an increase in soot content and must treat soot to avoid higher wear rate (of cylinders, pistons, valve train devices), oil thickening (less pumpability during start ups, higher working temperatures and higher fuel consumption), soot agglomeration (filter clogging) and higher level of deposits.

Pakelo STOU Fluid SAE 10W/40 is an API CF-4 performance level lubricant with new dispersant additives that allow to satisfy more severe and more recent API CI-4 and ACEA E7 Specifications. This helps reducing to the minimum any issue due to high soot content. Pakelo STOU Fluid SAE 10W/40 is suitable for the lubrication of engines, transmissions (gearboxes, differentials, final drives, power take offs, hydraulic joints, torque converters, “powershifts”) and hydraulic systems. Furthermore, thanks to its Limited Slip characteristics and the optimization of fiction coefficient, the product can be used in machines with wet brakes/clutches.

Pakelo STOU Fluid SAE 10W/40 provides the following characteristics:

• very good anti-oxidative, anti-wear, anti-rust, anti-foam, EP and LS characteristics;
• resistance to formation of lacquers, sludge, varnishes and deposits;
• great thermal stability;
• friction coefficient optimized to satisfy Constructors’ specifications concerning wet brakes/clutches, hydraulic joints, torque converters, “powershift” transmissions, etc.;
• very good compatibility with gaskets even at high temperatures (this avoids any leakage of the product in the system);
• very high engine performance;
• single product solution for several applications.
