The ultimate OPE oil debuts at Equip Expo

Kawasaki Motors Corp., U.S.A., Engines Division announces the launch of KTECH™ PRO 50 Full Synthetic Oil, a breakthrough lubricant engineered specifically for outdoor power equipment.

Seven years in the making, PRO 50 is the result of demanding and extensive engine testing and an ongoing commitment by Kawasaki to develop the ultimate OPE oil. The result is KTECH PRO 50, a dual-grade SAE 50 / SAE 15W-50 oil that delivers unmatched protection, reliability and versatility.

Key benefits of PRO 50 include:

Extended life: longer service life than conventional oils, contributing to reduced downtime and extended equipment performance.

Lower consumption: less oil use, helping to prevent failures.

Superior durability: virtually no viscosity breakdown under high heat and stress.

Multi-use versatility: a single formula suitable for gasoline, diesel and hydrostatic applications.

Dual Grade: the only SAE 50 and SAE 15W-50 dual-grade oil in the lawn and garden market.

For Kawasaki Engines’ dealers, PRO 50 is a unique product not available in the aftermarket.

“KTECH PRO 50 represents a true industry milestone,” said Nelson Wilner, Senior Vice President and General Manager of Kawasaki’s Engines Division. “Give credit to the project engineering teams, PRO 50 is engineered to outperform the competition and deliver value to both dealers and end-users.”
