Silkolene Chatsworth 40 Oil 4L
Product code: 242043
Manufactured from a blend of selected high quality base oils and additives, CHATSWORTH monograde engine oils are designed to provide detergent/dispersant properties and engine performance to exceed the requirements of U.S. MilitaryMIL-L-2104B, API SD/CC, and Ford M2C-101B specifications. Oils of this type were in common use circa 1950-60. They can be used with advantage in almost all motorcycles, cars and classic commercials made in this period. Earlier vehicles also benefit, with much improved engine cleanliness and reduced wear. NB Many post-vintage machines have engines which can use a modern shear-resistant multi-grade such as FUCHS SILKOLENE COMP 4 20W-50. When changing from a non-detergent to a detergent type oil ensure that seals are in good condition and engine internals are clean and free from excessive deposits.
API SD/CC MIL-L-2104B
Innovative company that later became known as Silkolene was created in 1908 and was the vision of the enterprising Dalton family. Although William Dalton's business started in agriculture, his true inspiration led him to supply lubricants to the growing automotive market. The early 20th century brought excitement to Britain and the length and breadth of the world as early cars and motorcycles became the focus of attention. Dalton's business literally moved to grease as the internal combustion engine took over from horses to transport goods and people.
The need for lubricants was the basis of the expanding business and when racetracks such as Donington Park were developed, the Silkolene name quickly became synonymous with early racing and competition success and was to be the lubricant of choice for champions.
FUCHS Silkolene is now a truly global brand, sold in over 50 countries, with over 30 years of research and development experience. This complete, comprehensive and expanding lineup has been the choice of many championship winning teams. This manufacturer's products are used, approved and required by leading professional racing teams including MotoGP, World Superbikes, British Superbikes and many others including Motocross and Karting teams.
