Monolec® Natural Gas Engine Oil (8945)
Product Description
Superior Straight-Grade, Low Ash Natural Gas Engine Oil
8945 Monolec® Gas Engine Oil is a superior, straight-grade, low ash natural gas engine oil formulated with cutting edge technology that differentiates its performance from other natural gas engine lubricants. Formulated using high-performance base fluids, salicylate additive chemistry for superior deposit control, and outstanding wear reducing additives, including Monolec®, LE’s exclusive wear- reducing compound. All of these components work together synergistically to greatly decrease friction, minimize wear, remove heat, and keep engine components clean. It has been proven in various engine types, under severe operating conditions.

Proprietary Additives
LE’s proprietary additives are used exclusively in LE lubricants. Monolec® Natural Gas Engine Oil contains Monolec.
Monolec® wear-reducing additive creates a single molecular lubricating f ilm on metal surfaces, vastly increasing oil film strength without affecting clearances. An invaluable component in LE’s engine oils, industrial oils and many of its other lubricants, Monolec allows opposing surfaces to slide by one another, greatly reducing friction, heat and wear.
