1) These BN 57 and BN 60 cylinder lubricants may be used with fuel in the sulphur
range 0.5% < Sulphur < 2.5% m/m.
2) This BN 50 cylinder lubricant can be used up to 2.5% m/m sulphur in the fuel for
engines built before 2000.
3) This BN 55 cylinder lubricant can be used for engines built before 2011 in the sulphur
range:
1.5% < Sulphur < 2.5% m/m for continuous and
0.5% < Sulphur < 1.5% m/m for intermittent operation up to 10 days.
4) Limited to engines built before 1995.
5) These cylinder lubricants are under development & testing and not yet validated.

NOTE 1:
BN refers to the lubricant Base Number expressed in mg KOH/g as determined by test
method ASTM D 2896.

NOTE 2:
This Appendix 1 with the listed suppliers of validated cylinder and system oils is part of
the Data & Specifications bulletin RT-138, entitled “Lubricating oils”.

NOTE 3:
Intermediate BN cylinder lubricants (50 < BN < 60 mg KOH/g) may be used the
performance is regularly monitored and lubricating the oil feed rate is adjusted to avoid
piston underside BN which is too low. Residual BN which is too low can lead to excessive
corrosive wear and scuffing. See Data & Specifications bulletin RT-138 for further
instructions.

The following values are recommended when operating on fuel in the range of
0.5% < Sulphur < 3.5% m/m.
1. The safe corrected piston underside residual BN to avoid piston ring and liner
corrosion is greater than 25 mg KOH/g but below 50 mg KOH/g.
2. The alert corrected limit for piston underside residual BN to avoid excessive corrosion
is between 10 mg KOH/g and 25 mg KOH/g
3. The danger corrected limit is less than 10 mg KOH/g piston underside residual BN
and is likely to lead to excessive corrosion and rapid piston ring and liner wear if not
corrected. It often leads to scuffing and the rapid failure of piston rings and very rapid
corrosive liner wear.

3 Lubricating oil application instruction and liability

Application instruction
• The application and handling of lubricating oils must be in compliance with the general
