Description / VERSIMAX HD18 5W-20 - 25lt Drum
Versimax HD18 5W-20 is a high-performance heavy-duty diesel engine oil manufactured using Group III base oils and an advanced additive package. It is formulated to provide excellent engine protection in severe on-highway operating conditions, including applications where extended oil-drain intervals are specified.
Developed for modern diesel engines, Versimax HD18 5W-20 is compatible with Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR), Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR/AdBlue), Diesel Oxidation Catalysts (DOCs) and Diesel Particulate Filters (DPFs).
Its low-viscosity formulation creates a thin but strong lubricating film under load, helping to reduce internal energy losses, improve fuel efficiency and reduce CO₂ emissions while maintaining protection of critical engine components.
Key benefits
· Improved fuel efficiency through reduced internal energy losses.
· Excellent cold-start fluidity for rapid lubrication at low temperatures.
· Strong oil-film protection under load despite the low-viscosity formulation.
· Protection against high-temperature deposits, helping maintain engine cleanliness.
· Low-ash chemistry helps protect and maximise the service life of exhaust after-treatment systems.
· Excellent wear and corrosion protection under demanding operating conditions.
· Helps protect against bore polishing and associated engine wear.
· Suitable for extended drain intervals where permitted by the vehicle manufacturer.
