Engine lube oil
Extend engine life with cleaner lube oil
Marine engines depend on clean, dry, and chemically stable lube oil to protect bearings, pistons, and control components. Many vessels still rely on heated centrifugal separators that consume energy, generate sludge, and require ongoing attention. While once the industry standard, these systems add continuous fuel burn and maintenance effort without improving long-term oil stability.
Every litre of oil processed through a separator increases fuel consumption, sludge handling, and the associated CO₂ footprint. As fleets face stricter requirements under IMO CII, EEXI, and ETS, this wasted energy now has a direct impact on emissions performance and operating costs, making more efficient oil treatment an increasingly important part of reliability and compliance.
The old way costs more than you think
High energy use
Heaters and rotating bowls consume thousands of kWh each year per engine.
Oil losses
Frequent top-up adds hidden cost and waste.
Sludge generation
Up to several tonnes of oily waste must be disposed of annually.
Compliance
Power used for separation adds to your vessel’s carbon intensity and CII.

How it works
Why choose CJC® for marine lube oil filtration
Decades of marine engine expertise
CJC® systems are installed on thousands of vessels, supporting stable engine operation and predictable oil quality across global fleets.
Removes what separators leave behind
Depth filtration captures soot, particles and oxidation residues down to 3 µm that separators cannot remove, ensuring cleaner oil between port calls.
High dirt-holding capacity
CJC® Filter Inserts last long in service and require minimal maintenance, lowering both OPEX and oil consumption over time.
Worldwide marine support network
Our global presence ensures fast access to expertise, spare parts and service wherever your vessels operate.
Clean Oil Is Not a Recommendation.
It Is a Reliability Strategy.
Understand contamination mechanisms, ISO codes, water control, and how to extend oil and component lifetime.
Improve Gearbox Reliability with Clean Oil
Clean gear oil is one of the easiest and most cost-effective ways to extend gearbox life, reduce downtime and keep operations running predictably. Start with an oil condition review and a practical filtration strategy tailored to your system.
No obligation, we start with a condition review and clear recommendations.
