ENGINES

1. CONTINUOUS NATURAL GAS OPERATION

1.1 FRESH LUBRICATING OIL REQUIREMENTS

Viscosity
Viscosity class SAE 40

Viscosity Index (VI)

Min. 95

Alkalinity (BN)
If engine operation taking place on natural gas only can be guaranteed, lubricating oils with
BN of 4 - 7 mg KOH/g shall be used. If that cannot be guaranteed, lubricating oils with BN of
10 – 20 mg KOH/g designed for distillate fuel operation have to be used.

Sulphated ash level

The content of sulphated ash in gas engine lubricating oils is a very important property. Too
high ash content can cause preignition and knocking, while too low ash content can lead to
increased valve wear. Low ash lubricating oils have sulphated ash level of max. 0,6 % m/m.
BN 10 – 20 lubricating oils have typically sulphated ash content of 1,2 – 2,5 % m/m.

Additives
The oils shall contain additives that give good oxidation stability, corrosion protection, load
carrying capacity, neutralisation of acid combustion and oxidation residues and should
prevent deposit formation on internal engine parts.

Foaming characteristics
Fresh lubricating oil shall meet the following limits for foaming tendency and stability,
according to the ASTM D 892-92 test method:
Sequence I: 100/0 ml
Sequence II: 100/0 ml
Sequence III: 100/0 ml

If the installation is equipped with either a SCR or oxidation catalyst, lubricating oil with
lower BN decreases the risk of fouling and may result in longer maintenance intervals of the
catalyst.

Additives
The oils shall contain additives that give good oxidation stability, corrosion protection, load
carrying capacity, neutralisation of acid combustion and oxidation residues and should
prevent deposit formation on internal engine parts (piston cooling gallery, piston ring zone
and bearing surfaces in particular).

Foaming characteristics
Fresh lubricating oil shall meet the following limits for foaming tendency and stability,

If in addition to natural gas also light fuel oil (LFO, MGO, MDO) or liquid bio fuel (LBF) is
used either continuously or in turn with natural gas as main fuel, lubricating oils with a BN of
10 - 20 have to be used. Lubricating oils having fresh oil BN below 15 can be used only if
fuel sulphur content is below 0,4 % m/m. If only short periods at a time on LFO or LBF are
operated, low ash gas engine oils listed in the chapter 1.3 can also be used. Allowed
running periods are mentioned in the chapter 2.4.

3. CONTINUOUS HEAVY FUEL OIL OPERATION OR ALTERNATE

OPERATION WITH HEAVY FUEL OIL, LIGHT FUEL OIL, LIQUID BIO FUEL
AND NATURAL GAS

In the W 32DF engine HFO as a main fuel can be used, if the engine is modified according
to the document 4V92A1109.

In the W 50DF engine it depends on the engine design, whether the engine in question
needs modifications in order to be able to run on HFO or if the use of HFO is allowed
without modifications. The modifications are described in the document 4V92A1168.

When operating the W 20DF, W 34DF or W 50DF engines in turn on two or three fuel
qualities including heavy fuel, only one lubricating oil quality is needed and that has to be
chosen based on heavy fuel operation requirements. Validated products are listed hereafter
in the table included in chapter 3.3.

3.1 FRESH LUBRICATING OIL REQUIREMENTS

Viscosity
Viscosity class SAE 40

Viscosity Index (VI)

Min. 95

Alkalinity (BN)
The required lubricating oil alkalinity on HFO operation is tied to the fuel specified for the
engine, which is shown in the table hereafter.

CIMAC 2003 DC, A30-K700
ISO 8217: 2012(E) RMA 10-RMK 700

For installations running in turn on two fuel qualities, i.e. natural gas and heavy fuel or three
qualities including additionally distillate fuel, lubricating oil quality must be chosen based on
heavy fuel operating requirements, i.e. BN 30 – 40 must be used. It’s the responsibility of
the operator to follow the used lubricating oil condition, especially alkali reserve (BN) and to
ensure that a chosen lubricating oil brand suits from BN point of view to the operating
conditions resulting from the fuel qualities being used. This is very important, since there are
several factors, like operating periods on each fuel quality, sulphur content of each fuel
quality and lubricating oil consumption all influencing on BN depletion rate.

It is recommended to use in the first place min. BN 50 lubricants when operating

continuously on heavy fuel.
 Page Document No Rev
9 (15) 4V92A1051 o

By continuous heavy fuel operation it is meant that natural gas operation cannot be
anticipated, that only heavy fuel is available or that the engine is specified so that only the
use of heavy fuel is possible, see page 5, chapter 3. This recommendation is valid
especially for engines having wet lubricating oil sump and using heavy fuel with sulphur
content above 2,0 % m/m. BN 30 and 40 lubricants can be used as well if experience shows
that the lubricating oil BN equilibrium remains at an acceptable level and if operation on
different fuels including natural gas, light fuel oil and heavy fuel is taking place in turn. The
optimum BN level of fresh lubricating oil depends on sulphur content of each fuel being
used, operating periods on each fuel as well as on lubricating oil consumption of the engine
in question.

Further, on heavy fuelled installations BN 30 lubricants have eventually a positive influence

on cleanliness of the SCR catalyst. With BN 30 oils lubricating oil change intervals may be
rather short, but lower total operating costs may be achieved because of better plant
availability provided that the maintenance intervals of the SCR catalyst can be increased.

An example of BN depletion curve with different BN lubricating oils is shown hereafter.

Additives
The oils shall contain additives that give good oxidation stability, corrosion protection, load
carrying capacity, neutralisation of acid combustion and oxidation residues and should
prevent deposit formation on internal engine parts (piston cooling gallery, piston ring zone
and bearing surfaces in particular).

Foaming characteristics
Fresh lubricating oil shall meet the following limits for foaming tendency and stability,
according to the ASTM D 892-92 test method:

allowed.

3.2 CONDEMNING LIMITS FOR USED LUBRICATING OIL

When estimating the condition of used lubricating oil, the following properties along with the
corresponding limit values must be noted. If the limits are exceeded, measures must be
taken. Compare also with guidance values for fresh lubricating of the brand used.

3.3 VALIDATED LUBRICATING OIL QUALITIES FOR W 20DF, W 32DF, W 34DF AND W
50DF ENGINES

In case of heavy fuel oil (HFO) as a main fuel is used in turn with natural gas (NG) and light
fuel oil (LFO), BN 30 and 40 lubricating oils listed in the table hereafter have to be used. BN
50 and 55 lubricating oils listed here are recommended only to the engines running
continuously on HFO.

Modern trunk piston diesel engines are stressing lubricating oil heavily e.g. due to low
specific lubricating oil consumption. Also ingress of residual fuel combustion products into
the lubricating oil can cause deposit formation on the surface of certain engine components
resulting in severe operating problems. Due to these facts it is essential to use only
lubricating oils with modern additive technologies having good compatibility between fuel
and lubricating oil.

4. ADDITIONAL REQUIREMENTS AND RECOMMENDATIONS

LUBRICATING OIL LEVEL:

The intervals between lubricating oil changes may be extended by adding oil frequently
(even daily) to keep the oil level constantly close to the maximum level.

CHANGE OF LUBRICATING OIL BRAND:

Top-up with another lubricating oil brand than being filled to the system is not allowed,
except if the both two lubricating oils originate from the same manufacturer. E.g. if Company
A’s BN 30 oil is filled into the oil system and top-up with same Company A’s BN 40 oil is
desired, that can be done provided that both products are based on same base oils and
additive technology. Otherwise the lubricating oil system has to be drained and then filled
with another brand by following the procedure described here below.

If the main fuel type is changed from natural gas to light fuel oil or heavy fuel oil, or vice
versa, change the lubricating oil to a suitable product as shown in the chapters 1.3, 2.3 and
3.3 of this document.

In order to minimize the risk of lubricating oil foaming, deposit formation, blocking of
lubricating oil filters, damage of engine components, etc., the following procedure should be
followed when lubricating oil brand is changed from one to another:
 If possible, change the lubricating oil brand in connection with an engine (piston)
overhaul
 Drain old lubricating oil from the lubricating oil system

 Clean the lubricating oil system in case of an excessive amount of deposits on the
surfaces of engine components, like crankcase, camshaft compartment, etc.
 Fill the lubricating oil system with fresh lubricating oil

If the procedure described above is not followed, responsibility of possible damage and
malfunctions caused by lubricating oil change should always be agreed between the oil
company and customer.

USE OF NON-VALIDATED LUBRICATING OILS:

Before using a lubricating oil not listed in the tables above, the engine manufacturer must be
contacted. Lubricating oils that are not validated have to be tested according to engine
manufacturer’s procedure.

Should non-validated lubricating oils be used during the engine warranty period, and there
exist no agreement with the engine manufacturer about testing, the engine guarantee does
not hold.

Lubricating oil companies listed above along with other possible manufacturers and
distributors undertake all responsibility for the performance of their validated lubricating oils
in service to the exclusion of any liability of any Wärtsilä company belonging to Wärtsilä
group. Further, they shall indemnify, compensate and hold harmless Wärtsilä and
companies belonging to Wärtsilä group from and against any claims, damages and losses
caused by the lubricating oils in question.

5. LUBRICATING OILS FOR ENGINE TURNING DEVICE

Based on the turning device manufacturer’s instructions EP-gear oils having viscosity of 414
- 506 cSt at 40 °C = ISO VG 460 are normally considered as suitable lubricating oils for
turning device. The following products are fulfilling the requirements:

6. LUBRICATING OILS FOR GOVERNOR / ACTUATOR

An oil of viscosity class SAE 30 or SAE 40 is suitable and usually the same oil can be used
as in the engine. Turbocharger oil can also be used in the governor. In low ambient
conditions it may be necessary to use a multigrade oil (e.g. SAE 5W-40) to get a good
control during start-up. Oil change interval: 2000 service hours.

7. LUBRICATING OILS FOR COUPLING OF PILOT FUEL PUMP

ONLY FOR W 32DF and W 34DF:

It is recommended to use lithium soap based EP-greases having a penetration of 300 - 350
when measured according to the ASTM D 217 standard and being classed as NLGI Grade 1
at 30 - 70 °C operating temperature.
