EL MAR® LOW ASH
LOW-ASH NATURAL GAS ENGINE OIL
Phillips 66® El Mar Low Ash is a premium quality, low-ash, dispersant-detergent gas engine oil designed for use in high-output, 4-stroke cycle natural gas engines operating under heavy loads and extreme temperatures. Engines operating in this type of service typically are found on crude oil and gas transmission pipelines, electrical power generators, gas compressors, irrigation water pumps and well drilling rigs.
