Offers Dependable, Heavy-Duty Performance in Diesel Engines

Monolec® Engine Oil provides excellent service for engines in mobile equipment and stationary generators. With its formulation of select base oils, shear-stable viscosity improver and Monolec®, LE’s exclusive wearreducing additive, Monolec Engine Oil offers increased fuel efficiency, dependable performance and wear protection. It is designed specifically for applications requiring the CJ-4 specification for those companies and individuals not wanting to switch to a CK-4 fluid.

Proprietary Additives

 N/A

LE’s proprietary additives are used exclusively in LE lubricants. Monolec® Engine Oil contains Monolec.

Monolec® wear-reducing additive creates a single molecular lubricating film 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.
