Quick guide to available industrial lubricants by equipment type and application
The final selection must be confirmed by consulting the manufacturer’s manual, the current technical data sheet, and the equipment’s operating conditions. Product availability, packaging, and specifications are subject to change.
Engine oils for heavy-duty diesel equipment
One of the options commonly used in heavy-duty diesel engines is SAE 15W-40 oil with API CK-4 service category, provided it meets the equipment manufacturer’s specifications.
American Petroleum distributes options such as:
- AQL Supreme Motor Oil 15W-40 CK-4
- Phillips 66 Guardol ECT 15W-40 CK-4
- Petro-Canada Duron SHP and Duron HP 15W-40
Single-grade oils (SAE 30, SAE 40, and SAE 50) are also available for applications where the equipment manufacturer specifies this type of lubricant.
Industrial hydraulic oils
Hydraulic systems require fluids designed to maintain the proper functioning of pumps, valves, and internal components during operation.
These hydraulic lubricants are used in manufacturing machinery, presses, lifts, CNC equipment, conveyor belts, and other industrial hydraulic systems.
American Petroleum offers anti-wear industrial hydraulic lubricants in various viscosity grades, including:
Available options include:
- AQL Premium Hydraulic Oil
- Phillips 66 Megaflow AW
- Petro-Canada Hydrex AW
For applications with special requirements, hydraulic lubricants registered for use in applications with potential incidental food contact are also available, such as Petro-Canada Purity FG AW.
Gear and transmission oils
Gear oils and transmission fluids are formulated for different components, such as differentials, manual transmissions, industrial gearboxes, and heavy equipment transmissions. These categories are not interchangeable: each piece of equipment must use the viscosity and specification indicated by the manufacturer.
American Petroleum distributes solutions such as:
- API GL-5 SAE 80W-90 and SAE 85W-140 oils for differentials and other applications requiring this service category.
- SAE 75W-90 synthetic fluids for applications specifying that viscosity and performance level.
- EP industrial oils for gear reducers and plant gearboxes.
- ATF fluids for transmissions and other systems requiring a compatible ATF specification.
Industrial lubricating greases
Industrial greases are used in bearings, joints, bushings, and equipment subjected to high loads.
One of the formulations used in industrial applications is NLGI #2 complex lithium grease.
American Petroleum distributes products such as:
- Phillips 66 Multiplex 220 #2
- Phillips 66 Megaplex XD3 #2
- Petro-Canada Precision XL EP2
- Petro-Canada Precision XL 3 Moly EP2
- AQL Super Blue Goo #2
For industries with specific needs, food-grade greases such as Petro-Canada Purity FG2 Syn Grease are also available.
Coolants and antifreeze
Coolants are an essential part of the maintenance of industrial engines and diesel-powered generators, helping to maintain the thermal stability of the cooling system.
American Petroleum distributes the AQL line of coolants in various concentrations:
- Full Strength Coolant 50%
- Full Strength Coolant 33%
- Full Strength Coolant 96% (concentrate for dilution)
- Extended Life Coolant 50% (ELC / OAT)
Packaging varies by product and includes totes, drums, pails, and boxes of three one-gallon containers.
DEF – Diesel Exhaust Fluid (urea solution)
Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF) is used in modern diesel vehicles and equipment equipped with selective catalytic reduction (SCR) systems, when specified by the manufacturer.
American Petroleum distributes AQL Diesel Exhaust Fluid in various formats:
- 55-gallon drums
- 2.3-gallon containers
- Totes
- Bulk
DEF is part of the operational requirements for modern diesel equipment that uses SCR systems and can be integrated into a fleet’s maintenance supply planning.
