Key Performance Benefits
Excellent Soot Handling
HiTEC® 12204L has advanced dispersant technology to deliver exceptional soot handling protection as demonstrated in the Mack T-11. Engines with EGR technology require soot handling protection in order to improve and extend engine life through better viscosity control and wear prevention.
Best In Class Wear Protection
HiTEC® 12204L demonstrates performance reserve delivering superior protection from engine wear.
Maintains Engine Power
HiTEC® 12204L has excellent control over deposits to maintain power over a longer oil drain interval.
Longer Oil Drains In Harsh Conditions

This often leads to short oil drain intervals - some as low as 16,000km/10,000 miles. The HiTEC® 12200 family of products have been field tested in harsh conditions to 50,000km/31,000 miles and demonstrate exceptional performance.
