Castrol Rivermax 15w-40 CK-4/E9
The launch of Castrol Rivermax 15W-40 CK-4/E9 represents a step forward in the evolution of the Rivermax range. Previously known as CRB Rivermax, the product has been rebranded under the Rivermax sub-brand, reflecting Castrol’s commitment to innovation and performance in the marine sector.
Castrol RIVERMAX 15W-40 CK-4/E9 is suitable for high-power marine diesel engines, including high-speed engines, outboard and inboard engines, used in commercial fishing boats, cargo ships, tugs, and passenger ferries.
Castrol Rivermax 15W-40 CK-4/E9 is designed to support high-speed, four-stroke diesel engines operating with a wide range of fuel types. It is fully compatible with engines equipped with exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) and modern exhaust gas treatment systems, such as diesel particulate filters (DPF), diesel oxidation catalysts (DOC), and selective catalytic reduction (SCR) systems*.

During operation, engines can be exposed to combustion by-products, which can form deposits on the piston and thicken the oil. Castrol Rivermax 15W-40 CK-4/E9 contains cleaning agents that help remove particles that may accumulate on the internal surfaces of the engine, reducing deposits and promoting its efficiency. The product also contains antioxidants that prevent chemical reactions causing oil thickening, while providing protection against wear and corrosion.
This comprehensive protection in various marine applications contributes to ensuring a long and healthy engine life. Being based on CK-4, the lubricant exceeds the performance of API CJ-4, CI-4, CI-4 PLUS, CI-4, and CH-4 and can be used in engines requiring these types.
Henning Von Rheden, Communication and Brand Director for Europe at Castrol, said: “We are dedicated to providing high-performance lubrication solutions that meet the ever-evolving needs of our customers.” The launch of this new product, Rivermax, brings the latest industry specifications to our maritime sector customers, highlighting Castrol’s commitment to the latest technologies and specifications.”
Castrol Rivermax 15W-40 CK-4/E9 is now available in a variety of packaging sizes, including 20L containers, 208L drums, bulk packaging, and small containers.
