1. Product Overview

Triax Fleet Supreme ESP 5W-40 API CK-4 Full Synthetic Heavy Duty Diesel Engine Oil is engineered for superior performance and protection in modern diesel engines. This advanced formulation incorporates Moly and Nano-Boron friction modifiers to reduce wear, extend drain intervals, and maintain engine cleanliness. It is suitable for a wide range of heavy-duty diesel applications, ensuring optimal engine functionality and longevity.

2. Key Features

• Enhanced Engine Operation: Contributes to quieter engine performance, lower operating temperatures, and improved fuel efficiency (4-6% MPG improvement).
• Extreme Wear Protection: Formulated with Nano-Boron and Moly friction modifiers, providing up to 68% less wear compared to OEM and industry standards.
• Extended Drain Intervals: Capable of drain intervals exceeding 100,000 miles for highway semi-trucks and 30,000 miles for super duty pickups, subject to regular oil analysis.
• Viscosity Stability: High shear stability and film strength ensure consistent viscosity, protecting the engine in severe service conditions like towing and hauling.
• Stiction Prevention: Specifically designed to prevent HEUI injector stiction, injector lockup, and engine misfires without the need for additional aftermarket additives.
• DPF / SCR Protection: Maintains diesel particulate filters (DPF) and selective catalytic reduction (SCR) systems clean and clog-free, ensuring optimal emission system functionality.
• Cold Start Performance: Offers exceptional cold start properties down to -45°F.

3. Applications

Triax Fleet Supreme ESP 5W-40 is fully compatible with all heavy-duty CK-4 or previous diesel engines. It is ideal for:

• Heavy Duty Diesel Engines (e.g., Volvo, Cummins, Detroit Diesel, MAN, Scania)
• Diesel Pick-Up Trucks (e.g., Ford Powerstroke, Chevy Silverado, Dodge RAM, GMC Sierra)
• Mixed fleets (suitable for both gasoline and diesel heavy-duty engines)

5. Setup and Application

For optimal results, follow your vehicle manufacturer's recommendations for oil change procedures. Ensure the engine is at operating temperature before draining old oil. Replace the oil filter with a new, compatible filter.

1. Prepare Vehicle: Park the vehicle on a level surface and engage the parking brake. Allow the engine to cool slightly but remain warm.
2. Drain Old Oil: Place a suitable drain pan under the oil pan. Remove the drain plug and allow all old oil to drain completely.
3. Replace Oil Filter: Remove the old oil filter. Apply a thin film of new engine oil to the gasket of the new filter before installing it. Tighten the new filter according to manufacturer specifications.
4. Reinstall Drain Plug: Clean the drain plug and replace its washer if necessary. Reinstall the drain plug and tighten it to the manufacturer's recommended torque.
5. Add New Oil: Locate the oil fill cap on the engine. Carefully pour the recommended amount of Triax Fleet Supreme ESP 5W-40 into the engine. Refer to your vehicle's owner's manual for the exact oil capacity.
6. Check Oil Level: After adding the oil, replace the fill cap. Start the engine and let it run for a few minutes to circulate the new oil. Turn off the engine, wait a few minutes for the oil to settle, and then check the oil level using the dipstick. Add more oil if necessary to reach the 'Full' mark.

6. Operating and Performance Benefits

Using Triax Fleet Supreme ESP 5W-40 provides several operational advantages:

• Reduced Friction: The Moly and Nano-Boron additives create a protective layer, significantly reducing friction between engine components. This leads to smoother operation and less heat generation.
• Improved Fuel Economy: Lower friction contributes to a more efficient engine, potentially resulting in a 4-6% improvement in fuel mileage.
• Enhanced Cold Start: The 5W-40 viscosity ensures rapid oil flow during cold starts, protecting critical engine parts from wear even in temperatures as low as -45°F.
• Turbocharger Protection: The advanced formulation helps maintain optimal turbocharger performance and longevity by reducing wear and preventing deposits.

7. Maintenance and Drain Intervals

Triax Fleet Supreme ESP 5W-40 is designed for extended service life, but actual drain intervals should be determined by regular oil analysis and adherence to vehicle manufacturer guidelines. The product is capable of:

• Up to 100,000 miles in highway semi-trucks.
• Up to 30,000 miles in super duty pickups.

These extended intervals are achievable in mechanically sound engines with consistent oil analysis and without the use of aftermarket additives. Always monitor your engine's condition and oil quality to ensure optimal protection.

8. Troubleshooting and Common Benefits

This engine oil is formulated to address common issues and enhance engine reliability:

• No Stiction: The unique formulation actively prevents HEUI injector stiction, a common problem in some diesel engines, eliminating the need for separate stiction additives.
• DPF/SCR Clogging: By keeping diesel particulate filters and SCR systems clean, the oil helps prevent premature clogging and maintains emission system efficiency, avoiding costly repairs.
• Engine Noise: Users often report a quieter engine operation due to the advanced friction modification properties.

9. Safety Information

Always handle engine oil with care. Read and understand the Safety Data Sheet (SDS) before use. Keep out of reach of children and pets. Avoid prolonged or repeated skin contact. In case of contact, wash thoroughly with soap and water. Dispose of used oil responsibly at an authorized collection center.
