Commercial cylinder lubricants of 70 BN were tested under extremely low feed rate conditions in a laboratory crosshead diesel engine. The results show remarkable differences in performance. Low feed rate testing further showed promising performance of new chemistry. Engine tests conducted on cylinder oils with a base number of 40 demonstrated that formulating of these cylinder oils is not a straightforward thing. Marine market analysis indicates that marine lube oil volumes are still growing. This is also true for cylinder oils, despite the trend to lower feed rates. The market share of lower base number cylinder oils, although increasing, is still very low.
